Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said in a letter to fellow House lawmakers on Saturday that she wants to bring a second CARES stimulus package to the floor by the end of this month to further relieve the American public during the coronavirus pandemic.
"It is my hope that we will craft this legislation and bring it to the floor later this month," Pelosi said in the letter, according to Bloomberg, adding that American communities "cannot afford to wait."
Pelosi added that the next stimulus package "must go further in assisting small businesses including farmers, extending and strengthening unemployment benefits and giving families additional direct payments."
The aggressive push from the California lawmaker comes as members of Congress disagree over next steps to take regarding the economic fallout and spread of the coronavirus.

(11,885 posts)Its should be getting passed now because Mnuchin , trump , and Jared will drag their feet slowing it down more getting to the people. By waiting its just causing more financial issues down the road, and make recovery much longer. This will takes years to recover from. trumps actions have insured that, and he lied, this will not shoot up again like he tries to claim it will. Just like he claimed this was a hoax. trumps a serial liar.
