Washington – The White House It has officially warned that if the new federal economic stimulus bill were to pass into law, which seems unlikely, the House can approve today to mitigate the emergency caused by the coronavirus, the president Donald trump I would veto it.
Anyway, the Republican leadership of the Senate has ruled out considering the legislation, which allocates nearly $ 3 trillions for initiatives to assist individuals, the unemployed, state, local governments, hospitals, educational and electoral systems, among others.
President Trump, however, will seek to “work with Congress bipartisanly to address any possible additional legislation necessary to respond to the coronavirus outbreak,” according to the public policy statement of the White House Office of Budget and Management. .
The White House maintained that President Trump wants to see a reduction in the payroll payment to Social Security, immunity for companies that reopen their businesses and funds for infrastructure projects in an upcoming economic stimulus bill.
The federal government has already approved nearly $ 2.7 trillion to address the coronavirus pandemic, but the White House understands that the Democratic bill “is more concerned with complying with partisan and ideological wish-list travel.”
Among other things, the White House criticized the measure to open the door to assistance to undocumented immigrants, soften federal tax reform measures for high-income people, and propose $ 25 billion for the Postal Service “without requiring much-needed reforms in the long term.” and “invade” the authority of the states by allowing electoral registration and voting by mail.
An analysis of El Nuevo Día suggests that the Democratic project, at least, would have an impact in Puerto Rico of about $ 20 billion.
