Pelosi and Schumer called for $250 billion in assistance to small businesses, with $125 billion of that channeled through community-based financial institutions that serve farmers, family, women, minority and veteran-owned small businesses, as well as nonprofits in rural, tribal, suburban and urban communities.

They also called for improvements “to ensure all eligible small businesses can access this critical funding and are not turned away by banks.”

In their statement, Pelosi and Schumer further called for $100 billion to hospitals, community health centers and health systems “providing desperately needed resources to the frontlines of the crisis, including production and distribution of national rapid testing and personal protective equipment.”

And they called for an additional $150 billion for state and local governments to manage the coronavirus crisis and “mitigate lost revenue,” as well as providing “strong additional support” for families on food stamps, by increasing the maximum SNAP benefit by 15 percent “to help put food on the table.”

Pelosi and Schumer, as well as President Trump, have been calling for a “Phase 4” of the stimulus package amid the coronavirus pandemic and said on Wednesday they would still work to create one.

Why does $125Billion have to be earmarked for certain categories of folks? Isn’t first come first serve the fairest way to distribute funds? I don’t understand why certain groups who have historically been discriminated against feel that they now have the right to discriminate.

You’ll need to explain how first come, first served works for distributing $2.2 trillion. Next you can explain how I can get the the front of the line.

How does prioritizing any one group over the other make the system more fair?Isn’t that discrimination? Not everyone can be first in line by definition. Please cool your jets and wait in line instead of pushing through those already in line.

You know what would be a great idea..an Inspector General. One with years of high-level public service experience across several administrations . This person could fairly and ethically administer the distribution of funds and provide oversight to...Oh wait, we had one of those. He was just fired.
