WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said on Wednesday that $250 billion in coronavirus relief for small businesses desired by Republicans could not pass the House of Representatives on its own under current procedures, which require a unanimous vote of those present while most of Congress is out of town.

Pelosi, a Democrat, and Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer are demanding that more aid for hospitals, local governments and food assistance be added to the small business aid proposal that the Trump administration and Republicans want passed this week.

Pelosi was speaking in an interview with National Public Radio. Asked if there are limits on spending for coronavirus relief, she said "No, we have to spend what we need."

She won't consider anything that's not full of pork for her pet leftist policies. To ********with small businesses and their workers, it's all about getting more illegals into the country and giving them everything for free.
They don’t care about us only their self interest
Negative Nancy
Why does small business spending bills have to pass when the fed can feed unlimited stimulus to large corporations without congressional oversight? Looks like there is a pecking order.
Yeah and individuals are the last to peck.
Nobody sane cares what you say
Except small businesses, consumers, employees, patients, doctors, nurses and hospital. Like her or not, it has to pass in House and Senate.
