Set up theto conversation is zach cohen with National Journal and it covers the senate for that publication. Thank you for joining us. Dollartart about the differences between what the senate is proposing and what the house would like to see. That mitch bill mcconnell introduced is much smaller, not just smaller than the house bill, but even smaller than what republicans had put forward, which was closer to 1 trillion back in july. About five hundred billion dollars, maybe even less. And includes coats to cares act to offset costs. Idea was to coalesce the Senate Republican conference around one bill. It seems like he will get that. Host when it comes to the justification of the small figure, go a little bit deeper into the majority leaders thinking.

The democrats reply with partisan cheap shots. The republicans develop a to get money in the pipeline for kids, jobs, schools. Democrats just point fingers, call names and keep American Families from getting help before the november election. In july, republicans put forward a serious framework but Speaker Pelosi and the democratic leader refused to talk unless the starting point was there absurd 3. 4 trillion farleft wishlist that even House Democrats called a stent. Talksust, with those stalled, republicans opposed no agreements on specific, urgent policies to help families, theployment benefits, paycheck protection program, democrats fused again. This time, there inventive was to piecemeal and not worth doing. If democrats did not get their diversity studies for the cannabis industry, stimulus checks for legal immigrants, tax cuts for blue state millionaires, it would make sure that millions of americans would lose their own Employment Benefits and ppp would close.
