She say all Trump wants on the checks is his name, thinking people will still spend then with her name on them.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi slammed President Trump on Wednesday for calling off COVID-19 relief negotiations, then offering to approve a standalone bill on stimulus checks.
“It’s interesting that he said he’d send out those checks if we sent him that bill, because all he has ever wanted in the negotiation was to send out a check with his name on it,” the California Democrat told ABC’s “The View."
She added: “Forget about the virus, forget about our heroes, forget about our children and their need to go to school safely.”
Trump abruptly postponed coronavirus relief negotiations Tuesday so the Senate could go all-in on working to confirm Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the open Supreme Court seat.
The president accused Pelosi of pushing for a $2.4 trillion package that would act as a bailout to “poorly run, high crime, Democrat States.” He said Republicans had made a “generous” $1.6 trillion offer, which she rejected. House Democrats instead passed a $2.2 trillion package last week that has no chance of making it through the Republican-held Senate.
Reversing course hours later, after the stock market tanked, Trump pushed for a standalone bill to approve $1,200 stimulus checks and telling Pelosi to “move fast.”

I don’t agree with giving the States a damn penny. I think the States should have to pay for repairs for all damage to Federal Buildings.
The big Cities need to close. Why just keep going in debt they are never going to pay. If high tech wants to bail them out, they can have at it. I feel sorry for the people who lost their homes, but many of them put & kept the nutcases in office. They fell for the lie not removing deadfall was environmentally sound. I just got a clip from CA of a 12 foot high mound of dead fall blowing up in a firefighter’s face. It blew him away just like a bomb or mortar round would have. I can’t imagine the explosion 12 ft of dry pine straw would make.
When the the big swamp in S. Ga, caught on fire every three of four years, forestry could rest assured our trucks, equipment, tankers would start arriving & deploying w/in 4-6 hours, all the small towns would top off trucks so we could drive faster, we did not deplete supplies in closest towns to the swamp. Roads were bulldozed as far as they could go, then temporary airstrip material laid. Fuel distributors had fuel tankers strung out for miles, if you saw a green flag, you were fueled & back on the road. The largest heavy wrecker companies had their wreckers in the swamp & on the road. Churches that had vans set up showers, fed us gave us pt. jars of sweet teat w/ lemon.
There were no race problems, no white only signs. It was people from 12 counties fighting to save a swamp they all depended on. There was no pissing & moaning over who owed what. We looked at our miles, the fuel distributors, looked at gallons pumped. They only charged cost plus tax but I can’t remember a time when I went to settle up with them, they did not argue that our trucks could not burn that much fuel, cut the number 100-250 gals. The wrecker companies came up with a cost & we all chipped in to pay it, even if none of our trucks needed help, there’s always a next time. If a wrecker got damaged we chipped in to pay for that.
I can’t say enough good about The US Forestry Service, they were shoulder to shoulder with us, all trained to recognize heat exhaustion than any of us had aid stations set up on floating pallets the deeper we got in the swamp. When they knew they needed to take one of us out, they had one of theirs’ right there for us to see taking our place.
We raised funds for every church to get $2,500.00, had their vans, cleaned & polished. We lived by a creed that sometimes those who give the least actually make a greater gift because it was all they had to give. The food that they served us in many cases came out of the members’ pantries.
We shamed any employers who docked any employees fighting the fires. If they refused, they were broke in 90 days. Pole timber, pulpwood, turpentining, was the biggest business around. You piss us off, 90% of us farmers too, you had a bad day. There was no violence, no protests, your business just went away.
Where have those days gone? The closest church to the only major way into the swamp was a small black church, members sometimes had to get in boats to attend in rainy weather. The pastor stood by the road, every vehicle stopped to get his blessing on the way out If we had injured or killed he prayed for them. Somehow that little church always gleamed in the sun. Over the years all the 5/4 cut clapboard got replaced. His congregation was old so we built real docks, wheel chair friendly bought boats that were balanced & ran on chains, we restored the old boats, to original except adding brass keels for stability,kept them in their same slips for the die hards.
