Washington Congressional leaders and the White House are engaged in a last round of frantic negotiations to finalize an agreement for an interim coronavirus relief funding package, but how to execute an effective testing strategy in the face of the devastating pandemic remains a key sticking point in negotiations.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi expressed optimism on a private conference call with House Democrats on Monday evening that a deal could be reached as soon as Monday night on the package that will include funding for a small business loan program that has run dry as well as other priorities, three sources on the call told CNN. According to those sources, House Democratic leaders indicated that if there's a deal Monday night, a vote in the House would take place on Wednesday.
Mnuchin: 'Hopeful' for small business loan deal today 12:05Overall, the $25 billion in funding to bolster Covid-19 testing will generally be broken down into three different areas: money the Health and Human Services Department will distribute to labs and other entities, another pot of money to the National Institutes of Health, and then another pot of money for states.
Maybe we can give NANCY some of the money for a FACE LIFT because she is Fugly
NO NANCY YOU CANT HAVE SOME OF THE MONEY FOR ICE CREAM CHOCOLATE AND ALCOHOL. OMG
Seems to be Democrats holding up this vote...They need to vote for what the country needs now and come back later with a another bill for the stuff they want.
Given the general lack of oversight on the first set of loans and the unwillingness to help anyone but businesses, I hope they hold out until this legislation actually helps those in need.
Covid-19 has came here to stay. Let the normal life function.
Stop talking about last round funding. We even have not got nothing paid for unemployment benefits in Florida that was approved in the first round funding and are being implemented in the states other than Florida. GovRonDeSantis Annette_Taddeo
