House Speaker Nancy Pelosi calls for comprehensive stimulus bill

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is rejecting Republicans' calls for a standalone relief bill to help the airlines. She says any COVID-19 relief package must include unemployment benefits as well as state and local aid. CBS News chief congressional correspondent Nancy Cordes joined CBSN to break down the latest.

She should not be paid until we get paid. They need TERM LIMITS

[larrissamorris]

They need to stop with these political games and pass the damn stimulus package. People are suffering now! They can’t wait another day. People are tired of all this BS. We are in the middle of a pandemic and our country is the only one not helping WE THE PEOPLE! Shameful

Why should the airlines get a bailout and not "PPP" money? Focus on the millions of jobless Americans.

[vxenon]

She wasn't complaining on approving a standalone Bill for the Post Office...

[lloydcrager]

Get rid of the bailouts and we get our money immediately ✊🏼

[SolidSolve]

Please get the stimulus to the people if nothing else before election day Ms Pelosi

I miss when reporters/news anchors told the news without bias.

[marlaohanlon]

Our daily lives health, food clothing rent are more important than flying.That should be abundantly clear. We can rebuild airlines after this is over.

[christianfeliciano]

What about rent relief, unemployment? Hate politics, get the job done. Got billions for war but not the people, smh.

If you are so worried about the people send him a fair standalone stimulus bill. Make him prove that he will sign it otherwise quit playing games.

"ain't gon' be no standalone bill" lmao

[JaysBestDeals]

Ain't gonna be no standalone bill? I recall one being passed for the postal service not too long ago....

People before airlines. Nobody travelling.

[glennaharris]

She wanted a stand alone bill for the airlines until the restaurants, unemployment, etc got mad and then she backed down on that and changed her mind. So she was for a stand alone bill just for what she wanted but nothing else .

Beneficial reasons keeping the people hungry. Let’s not forget this year. Things have to change.

[joshDammmit]

Didn't the airline industry already get billions of dollars back in April that they then rolled over into executive bonuses, while laying off shitloads of employees?
I might be wrong, maybe it was just hundreds of millions of dollars.

The oldest story on the second stimulus check, that I could find ? May 14th. One side has been demanding outrageous funding for their special interests. The other side refuses. The people just need help with living expenses.

[jimyounger]

What other countries are there where an American might enjoy living ?? Any countries that are run the way we want them to and not the way this one is run. Seriously think it’s time to start looking.

At this point. Both sides are just playing us. I wouldn't hold my breath for a second stimulus. We were lucky to even have gotten one.
