Capitol Hill has come to a standstill following heated discussions last week on what to include in the next coronavirus stimulus package.
One thing they did seem to agree on was another set of $1,200 checks to Americans, similar to the payments that went out this spring.
While Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin has said he wanted to start getting those second checks out this month, that seems more and more unlikely the longer that Congress fails to seal a deal.
"What I would say to people is there is still a pretty good chance that you're going to get these payments," said Howard Gleckman, senior fellow at the Urban-Brookings Tax Policy Center. "But it's impossible to know when or how long it's going to take."

If Nancy would get off her dead ass and negotiate with the Republicans. Nancy wants to keep people unemployed. Don't pay your bills, cancel all procedures for an honest election. Has nothing to do with you the American people. Vote Trump - he will take care of you.
ReplyDeleteAmen 1:26pm, Amen.
ReplyDelete1:26 the Republicans are the ones who want to hand the American people crumbs and corporations the whole pie. Just look at the proposed deals my friend.
ReplyDeleteBlaming the Democrats for wanting the working class to benefit more than the millionaires is childish. Grow up
ReplyDeleteBecause of Republicans thousands of students and dozens of teachers have coronavirus.
ReplyDeleteBullshit 2:21
DeleteMcConnel just adjourned the Senate for a month without a deal? How many other jobs can you take a month long recess with people's well being on the line?
ReplyDeleteI did vote for Trump 1:26 and the Republicans just put the Senate on vacation for a month while my neighbors struggle to feed their families. It ain't about us anymore, it's about them preserving their power.
ReplyDeleteNot true Pelosi refuses to come to the table unless she gets pork in the billions for her party
DeleteYou can't be serious. You are joking right?
DeleteTrump and only Trump 2020!!!
ReplyDeleteI agree! Do what’s best for America. Re-elect the Trump/Pence/Putin Team!
DeleteYes 553, Putin also
DeleteTRUMP 2020 !!!!
Future bill is going to literally be a killer.
ReplyDelete1:26
ReplyDeleteReal Americans (as opposed to communists masquerading as Americans) don’t want Government Hand-Outs. Real Americans were taught to be proud and support one’s family through hard work.
We don’t want Hand-Outs whether they come from secret-society Donald or communist Pelosi
Stop Government Deficit spending
256 thank you! I cant believe the hypocrisy from this crowd. Shows they are more loyal to a political candidate than the country or woth the ideals they once claimed to be for. You cant say you are a fiscal conservative, then cheer for someone who runs up the debt. You cant say you are for free market capitalism, then cheer over a president who 1st forced farmers onto even more welfare and now has even more people on the gov teet
DeleteWell this American would like to get the first 1200. before they start on the second. They deliver a second and I’ll be 2400. short.
ReplyDeleteDid you file federal taxes last year? If not don't hold your breath.
DeleteCertainly I did or I wouldn’t be looking for it. I meet all the criteria. First went online and was advised to call a number. Called the number and was told to go online. Later tried and couldn’t get through. I talked with them a months ago and was told it would be mailed on a Friday and be two weeks from then.Now a six to eight week trace is on to see if I received, cashed, and spent it. The whole system is not user friendly. I am not dependent on it. If i am eligible like most I would rather have it in my pocket than government stack, pack and pallet it to Iran or give to a illegal that has never contributed to the system. So yes I have filed for many years as mandated by the thieves . I’m not holding my breath because I have supported myself and family as should all of my working days.There is no hope I will ever see it. Not worth pursuing with their red tape. They don’t play well with others.
Delete3:17 & 7:26, I commend you for your comment and your many attempts. You are correct, the system is full of red tape. Sorry for your luck. 10:16
DeleteWait till tax time when you have to pay it back.
DeleteThank you 11:36
DeleteTime to Remind Trump to Include it NOW NOW !!! He can do it without Congress !!!!
ReplyDeletethe POTUS can go spend gobs of money without congressional approval? Funny, my guess is that you sure where saying thisnas Obama tackled the Great Recession
DeleteTRUMP better kick in this $1200.00 check once a month until 2021 !!!
ReplyDeleteWe need it & he has the Power without Congress to do it !!!
If 1200 dollars changes your life your not a Conservative.
ReplyDeleteIt’s not about changing your life but helping out until things return to normal... just after the election
DeleteI am a conservative and $1200 won't change my life, but it will help with a couple unexpected bills. It wasn't meant to be a life changer 4:54. Where did you get that notion? Have you been listening to pelosi and shumer again?
DeleteLooks like the domorats found this page , do not let them control all the medea.
ReplyDeleteIt's sickening to me that some bitch like Pelosi, as big a whack-job as she is, could abandon the American public and then go home to her 27,000 buck fridge and suck on a glass of NAPA Valley wine which is complementary from the other Liberals in God's joke on the Earth (Calif.). Please tell me if they 'had' a conscience how they could feel good of themselves while some kid in New York State or Atlanta will be in their beds tonight hungry. What a rotten bastard.
ReplyDeletePeople who still extol her and Schummer and Nadler and Cuomo's virtues make me nauseated and I wonder how they make it right in their minds and subscribe to Democratic sewer sludge who claim ' We are for the common man' and 'care' for your families. God should silence them with a paralytic stroke and reduce them to the slime they really are.Damn them!
If, when you vote, you can stand there and have a good feeling in your belly about promoting these rats, no matter whatever level of Government they doom with stupidity and then try to cover it up, I'd sure hate to meet you in a dark alley.
This time when you vote, remember what has transpired through the dirt aimed at Trump, yet backfired on poor people who they purported to care for, has made ANY of your positions 'better'or at least as good as what you are used to. Shake that off Dems., you stink!
Ditto
DeleteIf Democrats refuse to make a deal Trump is sending 3400 dollars for a family of 4
ReplyDeleteYes, been looking at a Tri Star Semi Auto shotgun
ReplyDeletelooking forward to the money
Last week, I was given a $20 benifit payment which I think is thanks to Pelosi. How can she sit at her wine and grape plantation and state that she is worrying about children not being fed? How about ME not being fed? Nancy, thank you for NOTHING!
ReplyDeleteClose Congress !! They are the ones WHO get Paid for Staying Home !!
ReplyDeleteTrump CAN make things Happen Without them !!! We need Help NOW
The Senate just as well go home, they can't do shit until the do nothing Democrat controlled Congress does their part. Nancy will not until she gets what she wants. This is their last ditch effort to get what they want and they know it. So she and her goons will hold the American people hostage to get what they want. They want mandatory mail in voting, their voting scheme to cheat this election. By any means necessary-- Nancy Pelosi. As soon as they get everything they want,this virus will magically disappear.
ReplyDeleteWhat, 2:21?
ReplyDeleteWho stays Home & gets Paid ? (CONGRESS) & they don't want us to ,
ReplyDeleteso they cut our $$$ off !!!
Lets cut their $$$$ off & make them go back to work !!!
Govt better give out More $$$ than it does to Americans or this
ReplyDeletecountry will be ruined 2020 !!!
Canada & Europe give their people much more than we get from our
Govt !!! Should make you sick !!
Those worthless in Congress should be Fired for Not doing their JOB
just like anyone else would be !!! They are NOT above the Law !!!
Trump should use his Power to close Congress & take over Control !!!
Close Congress & Rule without them during this Pandemic !!! It is
ReplyDeleteLegal & CAN be done !!!
America needs $$$$$ NOW !!!
Commonly heard on the floor of Congress. 'We can give them those checks, but what's in it for us?' They have to sneak what they want into that bill before they even think of helping us. First they get what THEY want, then we get the help we need. Ever noticed how fast they give themselves a raise?
ReplyDeleteI'm waiting for the check so I can get a new G-Shock watch and add to my collection.
ReplyDeleteMake it so Worthless Congressmen can be IMMEDIATLEY FIRED by the
ReplyDeletePresident at any time !!!
Not doing their job & for any other reason, like TREASON !!!

DeleteYou are describing a banana republic (dictatorship)
Don't Hold your Breath / Believe it When or If you see it !!!!
