A bipartisan coalition of senators is in early talks to pass another coronavirus pandemic relief package costing as much as $68 billion, a Wednesday report claimed.
An early version of the legislation appears targeted primarily at businesses currently ailing as the Omicron variant continues to fuel a new wave of infections. That includes restaurants, performance venues, gyms and minor league sports teams, according to the Washington Post.
The discussions in the Senate are reportedly being led by Democrat Ben Cardin of Maryland and Republican Roger Wicker of Mississippi. GOP Senator Susan Collins, as well as Democrats Mark Warner and Maria Cantwell, allegedly are also involved.
The bill is likely to include a mix of new spending dollars and repurposed unused cash from previous relief measures.

More fraud awaits
stupidity continues
We MUST stop re-electing Assistant Democrats.
Inching closer to the midterms, which is the goal. Then permanency in our country.
I have an easier solution.
LET THEM OPEN AND RUN THEIR OWN BUSINESSES!
There are thousands of people who lost their businesses. They cannot be made whole by the idiots in D.C.
They haven’t even spent all the stimulus they already passed. This is irresponsible madness.
BRAVO! You’re exactly right.
My two senators are Dems. They’ll be so proud of getting this passed.
I am not exactly clear on the “help restaurants and gyms” part. Money will go to a lot of criminals who can buy more guns.
Idiots!
The commies don’t want that.
A lack of goods and services *won’t* be cured by dropping more money. We’ll only get *more* inflation, because I guess 6 or 8% inflation is not high enough. But they don’t care if they destroy the economy. they only want to get reelected. Reelected to rule over a pile of ashes.
Because we haven’t surpassed Carter’s stagflation quite yet....
With all due, respect, am I the only person who realizes THIS is why the businesses are failing? Biden is supplying folks with all this extra $$$ so they do not have to work in the first place! Therefore businesses cannot run themselves. I’m so frustrated I cannot stand it any longer.
Funny how there is never a bipartisan coalition of senators working to cut spending and shrink government.
Remember how Trump couldn’t get 5B to secure the border and now they give it away like candy 🤪
Why not some more funds for PPP, only 100 or so billion was identified as total fraud.
Steve Bannon called this some time ago...
