President Donald Trump called it "DOA," and Sen. Mitch McConnell said the bill was little more than an unrealistic wish list.
WASHINGTON — The House on Friday narrowly passed a $3 trillioncoronavirus relief package crafted by Democrats that would include another round of stimulus payments of up to $1,200 per person.
President Donald Trump this week declared the Democrats' proposal "DOA."
Similar to the first major coronavirus aid package signed into law in late March, the 1,815-page HEROES Act would provide up to $1,200 in payments (or $2,400 for married couples), with an extra $1,200 per dependent up to a maximum of three. The income thresholds are the same as in the earlier CARES Act, with money for people making up to $99,000 and couples up to $198,000. The amount would start to reduce from $1,200 above thresholds of $75,000 and $150,000, respectively.
The bill passed by a vote of 208-199 and now heads to the Senate. One Republican backed the bill, while 14 Democrats voted against it.

I never got the money from the last go round.
The crap they put in there will destroy America as we know it...the who will go back to work when they will make more by staying unemployed? The protection for illegals, the ripe for fraud mail voting...on and on... take this crap and put it in your fancy ice cream freezer nervous Nancy!
My wife & I have not received any checks either. Same as 8:24
That 1200 is our hush money so they can handout even more money to their friends.
Both parties love giving to the 1%. BOTH parties.
TERM LIMITS!
Me and my wife am another ones they have not received our checks. They have both bank info.
I just hope and pray that McConnell and the Republicans do not give in. Also they should force the House to resume business in DC or Trump should enact his power to appoint and legislate in an emergency session, since the Democrats don't want to work. That includes docking their pay and benefits.
I hope this thing gets killed. People you have got to understand, the government never ever GIVES you anything. We all are going to pay dearly for this nonsense.
Democrat PORK again & again , while we have to WAIT yet Longer for
OUR Relief Money !!!!

The commie bastards are working overtime to destroy this country.Obama gave them a good head start but Trump was able to repair a lot of it, but he has had to fight the commie democrats every step of the way. He has had no cooperation whatsoever. And still managed to do a great job. TRUMP 2020!!!!!!!!!!!
