GOP congressional leaders are pushing for a $1 trillion coronavirus relief bill — and a 'technical fix' so that workers don't make more in unemployment benefits than they would otherwise make on the job.
Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said the priorities for the next round of coronavirus aid would be"kids and jobs," starting with a trillion-dollar offer. Mnuchin said he would brief Republicans on Capitol Hill on Tuesday and would reach out to Democrats to begin talks.to the tune of $3 trillion more than two months ago, but it was never taken up in the Senate.
Among the administration's other priorities, Mnuchin said, were tax credits to encourage businesses to bring people back to work and to buy protective equipment, in addition to money for schools that can open safely — as well as liability protection for schools and businesses. Trump cited TV ratings as a reason to resume the daily briefings."I was doing them and we had a lot of people watching, record numbers watching in the history of cable television, and there's never been anything like it."
