“Republicans may call their proposal ‘skinny,’ but it would be more appropriate to call it ‘emaciated.’”
, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer urged his party to remain unified as the GOP prepares to release a new “skinny” stimulus proposal worth $500 billion. Earlier this week, Senate Republican Conference Chairman John Barrosso indicated that the GOP hopes to vote on the skinny bill next week, when senators return from their Labor Day recess.
Sen. Schumer’s letter is further indication that even if the new package is approved by Republicans in the Senate, it’s unlikely to gain widespread support in the Democrat-controlled House. The hope among Republicans who up until now have struggled to reach internal agreement on any new proposal,, is that a Republican majority supporting the skinny bill might prompt some Democrats to accept a smaller package in the interest of expediting federal aid.
So far, Democrats led by Sen. Schumer and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi have been adamant that any relief bill be worth at least $2.2 trillion—that’s the compromise they proposed for the White House last month, though the White House rejected the offer. House Democrats passed their proposal for the next bill—the $3 trillion Heroes Act—in May; the GOP skinny bill is worth just one-sixth of that. “Republicans may call their proposal ‘skinny,’ but it would be more appropriate to call it ‘emaciated,’” Sen. Schumer wrote. “Their proposal appears to be completely inadequate and, by every measure, fails to meet the needs of the American people.
