<p>[QUOTE=&quot;2manybooks, post: 3263304, member: 8267&quot;]I&#039;m sorry, but I can&#039;t just let this slide.</p><p>Back in May, the House under Speaker Nancy Pelosi passed the Heroes Act, which would have authorized a second payment of $1200 for every individual making up to $75,000, $2400 for a couple making up to $150,000, and an additional $1200 for up to 3 dependents in a household. The bill also would have extended the additional $600 per week for unemployment benefits. That bill died in the Republican Senate. The Democrats have been arguing for more in direct payments for months. $600 was all they could finally get Mitch to agree to.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2020/05/16/what-you-need-to-know-about-the-heroes-act.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cnbc.com/2020/05/16/what-you-need-to-know-about-the-heroes-act.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.cnbc.com/2020/05/16/what-you-need-to-know-about-the-heroes-act.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.npr.org/2020/05/12/854707010/read-the-house-bill-calling-for-3-trillion-in-coronavirus-relief" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.npr.org/2020/05/12/854707010/read-the-house-bill-calling-for-3-trillion-in-coronavirus-relief" rel="nofollow">https://www.npr.org/2020/05/12/854707010/read-the-house-bill-calling-for-3-trillion-in-coronavirus-relief</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
