House Democrats on March 23 unveiled a $2.5 trillion emergency bill in response to the package under negotiation by the Senate that aims to stem some of the economic toll of the CCP virus pandemic.

The 1,400-page proposal, released Monday evening, offers each taxpayer in a household $1,500—or $3,000 for joint returns—and $1,500 for each child, with a maximum payment of $7,500 for a family of five under the “Take Responsibility for Workers and Families Act.”

The cash payment would have to be repaid by individuals with an income of more than $75,000, or more than $150,000 for couples filing tax returns jointly. Households may choose to repay the sum over the course of three years.

In contrast, the Senate proposal laid out Sunday provides a quick, one-time stipend of about $1,200 per individual, $2,400 for couples, and $3,000 for a family of four, with the money cut off at higher income levels.

The House Democrats proposal also offers to funnel more than $150 billion into the health care system—to health care providers and community health centers—as the spread of the CCP virus continues to spread rapidly across the nation.

The Epoch Times refers to the novel coronavirus, which causes the disease COVID-19, as the CCP virus because the Chinese Communist Partys coverup and mismanagement of the outbreak in Wuhan allowed the virus to spread across China and fan a global pandemic.

Hospitals, under the Democrats bill, would receive an additional $80 billion in low-interest loans, $5 billion more than what has been offered by Senate Republicans nearly $2 trillion package.

In their proposals, both Senate Republicans and House Democrats have offered allowing businesses to carry back net operating losses from this year, 2019, and 2018. However, the House bill places has restrictions in place on what businesses can qualify.

Meanwhile, concerns have been raised over the allocation of expenses in the House Democrats proposal toward areas that appear unrelated to the COVID-19 outbreak, including $35 million for the “operations and maintenance” of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C., reported Fox News.

It also includes the allocation of $300 million for the National Endowment of the Humanities, a further $300 million for the National Endowment of the Arts, $278 million for the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and $100 million for NASA.

Republicans and Democrats were still struggling on Monday to reach an agreement on a far-reaching CCP virus stimulus package, after failing to reach a deal over tRead More – Source
