New Stimulus Package: “Half Of Republicans Are Going To Vote ‘No’”
4.完整新聞內文:
Sen. Lindsey Graham says that half of Republicans will vote “no” on the new
stimulus package.
Here’s what you need to know.
Stimulus Package
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) told Fox News that “half of the Republicans are
going to vote 'no' on any more aid. That’s just a fact.” If so, then this
could have significant ramifications for the next stimulus.
Lindsey Graham 告訴福斯新聞，有半數共和黨員完全不支持該法案
On Monday, Senate Republicans announced the Heals Act (Health, Economic
Assistance Liability Protection & Schools Act), a ~$1 trillion stimulus package
proposal as a follow up to the Cares Act, the $2.2 trillion stimulus package
that Congress passed in March.
在三月的兩兆兩千億元的 CARES 紓困法案後，
這個星期一時，共和黨宣佈新的 HEALS 紓困法案，總額一兆元
The Heals Act is the Republican response to the Heroes Act,
which House Democrats passed as a $3 trillion stimulus plan. Among other
proposals, the Heals Act includes the following:
1. $1,200 second stimulus checks;
2. Enhanced unemployment benefits capped at 70% of wage replacement;
3. $105 billion in education funding to open schools;
4. Student loan relief that pauses student loan payments for borrowers with no
income;
5. An extension of the Payment Protection Program; and
6. liability protections for businesses, hospitals and schools.
民主黨方便則是提出三兆元的 HEROES 法案，共和黨法案包含六項
不是美國人的話不重要，有興趣自己看，反正這邊看出民主黨想大灑幣
Will a stimulus deal fall apart?
Democrats are the only ones unhappy about the new stimulus package. Many
Republicans are unhappy with the new stimulus proposal too, as Graham
indicated. Here are quotes from multiple Senate Republicans about the
stimulus bill, as reported by CNN:
民主黨覺得共和黨版花太少錢不開心，部份共和黨員覺得花太多錢不開心
以下是個別參議員意見
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX)
“I’m not only a ‘no.’ I’m a hell no.”
"不只是一個不，而且是一個天大的不"
Sen. Ben Sasse (R-NE)
“[T]here are a hundred problems with the plan.”
"該法案漏洞百出"
Sen. Mike Brown (R-IN)
“In my opinion, we need to get back to the Trump economy not the federal
government trying to replace it.”
"我們應該振興經濟，而不是由聯邦政府(發錢去)干預它"
Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL)
“I just don't understand it. How is it tied to Coronavirus? I never
understood why we were giving money to the Kennedy Center or National
Endowment for the Arts. During a pandemic, let’s concentrate on solving the
problem.”
"我不理解。(法案當中)為什麼有些和武漢肺炎有關？
為什麼我們要發錢給 the Kennedy Center 或是 國家藝術基金會獎？
我們應該專注於解決問題"
Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI)
“I don’t want to see any new authorization of money.”
"不贊同再由政府當局發更多錢"
Fiscal conservatives are concerned about new government spending. This
includes second stimulus checks or weekly unemployment benefits, for example.
Conservatives are focused on limiting federal spending, and note that
Congress has approved trillions of dollars in spending for previous stimuli
in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. Some conservatives also say that
spending more money is not how problems should be addressed.
However, other Senate Republicans, such as Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA), say
there’s not enough aid for states and localities. The Heals Act contains
no new funding for states and localities, which have been hit especially
hard from Covid and are facing unprecedented budget shortfalls.
In contrast, Democrats proposed $1 trillion of aid for states and cities
in the Heroes Act.

6.備註:
關於接下來的磋商方向就不貼了，有興趣建議點進去看
簡單來說，現在有四組人馬
1. 以 Mitch Mcconnell 為首的共和黨員，只在意法案中 liability protection 部份
2. 其他共和黨員，覺得法案債留子孫，一切都是民主黨的陰謀
3. 白宮方面，想要法案通過，但川普想要預算，蓋一間新的 FBI 總部在自己飯店旁邊
4. 民主黨，想要法案通過，而且要灑錢，瘋狂灑錢那種
總結
四組中一組完全不想要法案通過，一組想要少花錢，一組想要零用錢，一組想要大灑幣
