6:09Now PlayingSHOCK: Pramila Jayapal CALLS OUT Nancy Pelosi To Her Face & Ilhan Omar DEFENDS Jayapal In New Beef!
Democrats plot massive stimulus plan amid stiff White House and GOP resistance
On the call, Rep. Pramila Jayapal of Washington took issue with the sweeping stimulus bill in the works because it is not expected to include the Paycheck Guarantee Act, a plan the Congressional Progressive Caucus co-chairwoman is pushing to cover 100% of workers' wages up to $90,000 per year, according to three sources on the call.
The plan would also ensure workers keep their employer-sponsored health benefits and cover essential expenses like rent.
Jayapal expressed her strong concerns about the process and that the measure may not be included in the soon-to-be-unveiled package, the sources said.
Pelosi responded to Jayapal's concerns, the sources said.
A Democratic aide explained the rationale why the Washington Democrat's proposal won't be included, arguing that plan could have a massive price tag and be extremely complicated to implement in the near term. Both Pelosi and House Ways and Means Chairman Richard Neal indicated they support the idea over the long term, while Neal discussed an employee retention tax credit as one of the measures to include to help stem job losses.
Pelosi has been pushing to get the bill finalized and voted on by the full chamber this week.
