President Donald Trump Tuesday said he was the person who canceled the deal to pass coronavirus legislation in excess of $2 trillion after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi included "a lot of things" that had nothing to do with people who have been put out of work because of closures over the spreading coronavirus epidemic.
"I canceled the deal," he said in a Fox News virtual town hall. "I said, 'I'm not going to send that deal.' Nancy Pelosi came and put a lot of things in the deal that had nothing to do with the workers, that has to do with an agenda they've been trying to get passed for ten years."
Trump said he told Vice President Mike Pence and several other key Republicans that there was "no way" he would sign the deal.
"We almost had a deal the day before," said Trump about an agreement between the Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Minority Leader Chuck Schumer.
"It was really a good, solid deal," said Trump. "All (of a) sudden they start throwing all the little green new deal stuff in. The board rooms, what they look like. 'We want clean energy, we want all this stuff. Let's stop drilling oil.' They had things that were terrible. Windmills all over the place, all sorts of credits for windmills. To kill the breeze and ruin the real estate, right? A lot of problems."

The bill needs to be clear that only US citizens get aid, implement and use eVerify to confirm. This will also ensure that any jobs go to Americans. BTW, should suspend H1B and other visa programs, give visa holders 30 days to leave.

Can you imagine the effect of $2,000,000,000,000 on inflation?
The country might need a jump start. OK
But being on a fixed income, I would not benefit

Ha, if I had asked that question, a representative would have felt compelled to personally attack me in defense of their ineligible candidate.

No new deal-just set an executive order cancelling employee/employer tax until 2021!!! That spells RELIEF without the politicians sticking their grubby fingers in our money!!!
