WASHINGTON (AP) — Speaker Nancy Pelosi is telling House Democrats another $1 trillion is needed for the next coronavirus rescue package.
Pelosi told Democrats on a Monday afternoon conference call that the current aid to Americans is not enough, according to a person unauthorized to discuss the call and granted anonymity.
Congress is considering more aid after passing a sweeping $2.2 trillion health care and economic package last month, the largest of its kind in U.S. history.
The centerpieces of that package included one-time $1,200 direct payments to Americans, along with forgivable small business loans for companies to keep making payroll. But Pelosi said they are not enough and more needs to be done, the person said.
The California Democrat has vowed to put the next package together in time for a House vote this month.
Both the House and Senate are adjourned through mid-April as the nation shuts down to grapple with the global pandemic.

First let’s see how well the current stimulus bill works before we go starting up another. I haven’t seen much movement on the needle.
And we all know Pelosi will jam her bill full of payoffs to her Lib elite masters. These are the people who should be starved of money, since they hate America.
No more stimulus until the election is over and Pelosi and her American destruction is gone for good.! If they cannot get the job done with what they have ,they need to be voted out. History has proven that Giving more stimulus to any Democrat is a future molestation just awaiting to happen. Trump has dropped his pants far enough already with a zipper that is getting as long as those Trump ties. When politicians get together to think big, all we get is much bigger Debt than we get relief.
How’s about we start by TELLING EVERYONE IN CONGRESS, you are having YOUR PAY CUT TO 1 dollar, and the rest is being distributed to those who lost their jobs!!
How many of the socialist liberal nonessential programs will be ensconced within the bill when presented that the House will have to ‘pass before we know what’s in it’! This should have been a priority instead of impeachment, won’t the Democrats learn by their failures.
No, since they never get HELD TO ACCOUNT, they have no reason to ‘learn’..
I expect more left wing kook items like linking to climate change or reducing carbon footprint and the like
BOTOX Pelosi, I can hardly wait to see what kind of pork will be put in a so called second stimulus.
Toasty Pelosi
Taking bets on pork topics she will put in the bill along with more gun control/taxes, Voting for illegals, and other methods to protect their ability to cheat (including new ways)in elections this November!
Predicting >50% fat, minimal lean muscle on this one.
1) IMPEACH PELOSI, then;
2) READ the entire contents of the Bill before voting;
3) Add items that will curtail anything the Schiff Committee can do;
Pass, send to Senate and let it DIE there.
Americans and Queen Nan wants a spending spree! WORTHLESS TWIT!
Please BE AWARE. JUSTIN TRUDEAU has been caught spending money to continue funding ABORTIONS! This NEEDS TO STOP IMMEDIATELY and the money needs to be paid back. Some of these leaders are absolutely disgusting!
YOU GeT who you voted for!
