Economic Stimulus Talks Break Down

“Top congressional leaders failed to reach agreement on a giant economic stimulus bill for the coronavirus Sunday, and Senate Republicans and House Democrats appeared poised to chart separate courses on competing pieces of legislation,” the Washington Post reports.

“The breakdown leaves Congress’ response to the unfolding national crisis uncertain, though all sides vowed to continue working.”

Earlier from Andrew Taylor: “There is a truism about Congress that you have to have the bad meeting before you have the good meeting. I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s what happens today when the big four convene.”
