Bernie Sanders wants Democrats to push for $1,200 checks as part of next stimulus and take a hard line against coronavirus lawsuit protections

Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont is pushing Congress to pass another round of $1,200 checks in the next coronavirus stimulus package.

Sanders and other Democrats also want their colleagues to hold the line against coronavirus liability protections. Democratic senators led by Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont want their colleagues to insist that $1,200 payment make it into the next coronavirus stimulus package. Congress is running out of time for a deal as they speed toward a Friday deadline to approve a must-pass spending bill to fund the government or face a shutdown. It's possible that a stimulus will get tagged onto the spending bill, which is set to receive a deadline extension until December 18.

"It would continue to provide a get-out-of-jail free card to companies that put the lives of their workers and customers at risk," the letter states. It went on to warn that "corporations will be encouraged to avoid implementing the common sense safety standards needed to protect workers and consumers — and make a bad situation worse."

But Democrats argue the liability shield would jeopardize the health and well-being of workers during the pandemic.

I’m with SenSanders on this, but many Americans also need help YESTERDAY! Forget Christmas/holidays—most of us just want to be able to make the mortgage, buy food, put gas in the car, etc. StimulusChecksNOW 25thAmendment StimulusChecksNOW 25thAmendment trumpvirus stimulus

The government during an 8 month global pandemic really gave Americans $1,200 to live off of for nearly an entire year lol

Why did 1,200 become the cap. 2400 for almost 9 months is not enough.
