Это же Репы, во главе с Мнучиным, настояли на единовременной выплате 600 баксов в этом случае, Демы предлагали как раз $2000, ещё летом-осенью… Репы это предложение благополучно похоронили… -->
(CNBC) - Trump's attack on Covid relief bill could lead to government shutdown, lapse in unemployment aid
- Trump's opposition to a more than $2 trillion coronavirus relief and government funding package raised the prospect of 12 million people losing unemployment aid and the government shutting down.
- Trump has not explicitly said whether he would veto the bill, and Congress would likely have enough support to override his move.
- The president has pushed for $2,000 direct payments instead of $600, a sum his Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin supported.
- The president was not involved in the talks around the bill, and Democrats repeatedly pushed for larger direct payments than Republicans wanted.
President Donald Trump's last-second opposition to a coronavirus relief and federal funding bill already passed by Congress threatens to torch jobless benefits for millions of Americans and shut down the government during a deadly public health crisis.
After weeks of no involvement in congressional efforts to pass another aid package, the outgoing president shocked Washington on Tuesday night by calling the bill a "disgrace" and pushing lawmakers to increase $600 direct payments to $2,000.
While he did not explicitly say whether he would veto the bill or simply refuse to sign it, Trump said the "next administration will have to deliver a Covid relief package" if Congress does not send him revised legislation.
Any delay in the measure becoming law threatens financial ruin for already struggling Americans. The $900 billion coronavirus relief portion of the bill extends pandemic-era expansions of jobless benefits that cover 12 million people. The provisions expire Saturday — the day after Christmas.
The $1.4 trillion appropriations piece of the legislation would keep the federal government running through Sept. 30. The government would shut down Tuesday if it doesn't become law before then.
With Congress failing to pass new federal aid for most of the year, millions of people fell into poverty. The package would send temporary help in the form of a weekly federal unemployment supplement of $300 through mid-March, the $600 payments and $284 billion in Paycheck Protection Program small business loans. It also contains more than $8 billion for Covid vaccine distribution, $25 billion for rental assistance, $82 billion for education and $45 billion for transportation — including funds to help airlines keep employees on staff.
