The House Speaker addressed her Democratic colleagues in a letter to suggest several shortcomings and disagreements in regards to Trump's latest coronavirus relief proposal.
"When the President talks about wanting a bigger relief package, his proposal appears to mean that he wants more money at his discretion to grant or withhold, rather than agreeing on language prescribing how we honor our workers, crush the virus and put money in the pockets of workers," Pelosi wrote.
Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, Democrat of California, leaves after her weekly press briefing on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC, on October 8.Pelosi wrote that such a plan was outlined in the revised HEROES Act, a $2.2 trillion coronavirus relief bill passed by the House earlier this month and a slimmed-down version of the $3.4 trillion relief bill passed in May, both of which received intense GOP opposition.
Pelosi also criticized the administration's insistence on a tax benefit that she said would benefit wealthy people at the expense of America's poorest children and families who are"directly affected by the coronavirus."
