The new version of the new crown economic stimulus bill proposed by the U.S. Republican Party was voted down in the U.S. Senate

　　On September 10, local time, the new version of the economic stimulus bill for the new crown pneumonia epidemic proposed by the Republican Party was rejected by the U.S. Senate with 47-52 votes, which did not meet the required 60 votes.

　　Senate Minority Leader Schumer said that the bill was "not at all inadequate, it is completely incompetent."

　　The bill is called the "slimming" bill. Compared with the 3 trillion stimulus plan proposed by the Democratic Party in the House of Representatives, the estimated value of this new bill is between 500 billion and 700 billion US dollars.

　　The Republican bill includes an additional $300 weekly unemployment benefit, which is half of the amount stipulated in the stimulus bill that expires in July. Such relief will continue until December 27.

In addition, the bill also includes the provision of a second round of loans for small businesses; the waiver of 10 billion U.S. Postal loans and the conversion into grants; an education stabilization fund to provide schools with the $105 billion needed to resume classes; in addition, a further 16 billion U.S. dollars is used to detect the new coronavirus, and 31 billion U.S. dollars is used to develop vaccines and treatments.

　　The biggest difference between the Republican Party’s "slimming" bill and the bill passed by the Democrats in the House of Representatives in May is:

　　This time the bill does not include the relief funds that the Democratic Party has been requesting for state and local governments.

　　Did not directly issue a check for relief to the American people.

　　Cut the extra $600 weekly unemployment benefit in half to $300.

　　Before the vote, Pelosi, the Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, and Schumer, the leader of the minority party in the Senate, have expressed their intention to block the passage of the bill.

In the statement, Pelosi stated that this is "a bill that the Republicans know that Democrats will never support."
