House Dems Introduce New $3 Trillion Stimulus Proposal

Summary from the AllSides News Team

House Democrats led by Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) introduced a new $3 trillion stimulus proposal on Tuesday. The package, titled the HEROES Act, would provide another round of checks to Americans similar to the CARES Act, as well as aid to healthcare workers and 'hazard pay' to essential workers. There are a few changes from the CARES Act; immigrants with Taxpayer Identification Numbers (TIN) would be eligible for this round of checks, as are adult dependents and full-time students younger than 24. Republican leadership, meanwhile, is reportedly skeptical of another round of stimulus checks. Left and center-rated voices largely focused on nuances between previous policy and the HEROES Act, concentrating on purportedly positive features of the new proposal; such as additional checks and essential worker protections. Most right-rated coverage questioned the necessity of those same details, with some voices separately accusing Democrats of attempting to undermine the economy to turn voters against President Trump.
