The White House and Republican lawmakers want to help millions of Americans who are financially and heavily impacted by the global pandemic. These political leaders need to pass the bill before the government operations shut down this Oct.1.

After House Speaker Nancy Pelosi rejected the skinny stimulus bill, the White House and Republican lawmakers increased the total amount to $1.3 trillion. This amount includes aides like unemployment benefits, funds for child care providers, and possible second round of stimulus payment. 

White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows also said that Pres. Trump is ready to sign the bill on the second round of stimulus check once it is on his table. In fact, Meadows attempted to have a meeting with Pelosi to discuss the second round of stimulus payment but he was told that Pelosi was in a meeting. 

Meadows and the White House never stopped to look for ways to help millions of Americans suffering from the global pandemic. Recently, he personally called Pelosi to make sure that she will recall Congress to talk about the stimulus bill as early as the first week of September. 

Meanwhile, Pres. Trump made actions through the power given to him to help millions of Americans who are struggling to meet their daily needs. After the unemployment benefits expired in July because Congress did not act to expand it, Pres. Trump issued and signed an executive order that extended the unemployment claims using the unspent budget from Federal Emergency Management Agency. 

He also released three memoranda that freeze the student loans, house evection protection program, and delay the collection of payroll taxes. Recently, Trump announced that is suspending until the end of this year the collection of Social Security Tax so that people will have more money on their pockets. 

Aside from that, Pres. Trump also said on Aug.8 that he will terminate the collection of payroll taxes once he gets re-elected. This is because of the individual financial crisis that the country is facing due to COVID-19 that continues to devastate the country. 

Meanwhile, Republican Rep. Michael Waltz said through an interview from a news outlet that he is just one of the lawmakers in Congress who was disappointed that they were only called back to the House a week ago to vote for U.S.P.S. funding. They thought that they woud deliberate the second round of the stimulus bill. 

Waltz said: "She didn't want to deal with unemployment, she didn't want to deal with liability reform for businesses, didn't want to deal with state and local issues in terms of their financial needs. We can't get that other round of PPP for businesses that are still struggling until Speaker Pelosi takes a different path." 

If ever the proposed $1.3 trillion will be passed and deliberated in Congress, millions of Americans will have the help they need. As White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows said that Pres. Trump is always ready to sign the second round of stimulus payment.
