US Dems ask for $500B to be included in next aid bill
United States House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer released a joint statement on Wednesday, asking for $500 billion to be distributed in the next round of government’s financial relief measures.
Under the Congress Democrats’ proposal, $250 billion would be allocated to help small businesses, $100 billion to hospitals and the health system and $150 billion to state and local governments.
“After we pass this interim emergency legislation, Congress will move to pass a CARES 2 Act that will extend and expand the bipartisan CARES Act to meet the needs of the American people,” Pelosi and Schumer said in the statement.
