Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez says she may not vote for proposed small-business relief bill over 'insulting' lack of funding

The next coronavirus relief package may not have Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's vote.

Congress is working on a small-business relief bill that will provide more federal aid for the Paycheck Protection Program. According to Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, the bill's proposed framework contains $350 billion for small-business relief programs, $75 billion for hospitals and $25 billion to help states set up testing and to reopen local economies. However, the legislation has not been finalized yet.

Their #PutPeopleFirst campaign calls for $2,000 in direct monthly payments for Americans over 16, eviction protections and increased food aid. It would also enact a vote-by-mail requirement for the 2020 elections. The earliest that Phase 4 of the coronavirus relief could be done is May 4, when lawmakers return to Washington, D.C., after their recess.

"Since this is so urgent, I have asked that the Senate meet again tomorrow in a new session that was not previously scheduled, and the Democratic leader has agreed to my request. Colleagues, it is past time, past time, to get this done for the country," the Kentucky Republican said Monday.

I’m sure the people who are destitute will understand.

Oh, one vote less.

But RepThomasMassie got crucified for demanding recorded vote & justinamash for saying it was corporate bailout. Maybe AOC can work together with these 2 reps in bipartisan manner? I have more hope of them 3 than Trump or Biden doing anything for the American ppl.

We're all going back to work, so why bother to give more?

Newsweek : If thats the case why don't the Democrats come up with a solution . For anyone can criticise , but little is much when there is nothing else' at the moment ?

The wall of bailout must end here Stalin said.

Bartender said what?

Good.
