WASHINGTON House Speaker Nancy Pelosi unveiled a more than $3 trillion coronavirus aid package, a sweeping effort with $1 trillion for states and cities, hazard pay for essential workers and a new round of cash payments to individuals.
The House is expected to vote on the package as soon as Friday. But Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has said there is no urgency. The Senate will wait until after Memorial Day to consider options.
We must think big, for the people, now," Pelosi said Tuesday from the speaker's office at the Capitol.
Not acting is the most expensive course," she said.
Lines drawn, the latest pandemic response from Congress will test the House and Senate and President Donald Trump as Washington navigates the extraordinary crisis with the nation's health and economic security at stake.

Once defferal periods end, there will be mass delinquencies being reported. Then the stock market will plunge. It'll be 2008 all over again. Property values will drop and people will walk away from homes they haven't made a payment on in a year.
That's why we need to get in front of this now. Nancy is right.
