WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A U.S. House committee on Wednesday will consider a Democratic plan to allocate another $14 billion to extend payroll assistance to U.S. airlines to keep thousands of workers on the job through September 30, according to a committee document seen by Reuters.

Lawmakers are planning to extend new assistance to U.S. airlines for the program that has received $40 billion to date and is set to expire March 31 in the $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief bill. The proposal is also set to extend new aid to airports and passenger railroad Amtrak. The House Financial Services Committee proposal includes $14 billion for airlines and $1 billion for contractors.

The US right now doesn't make products and services to make money.... we are just printing and eventually the dollar will collapse...
Once again, where are the billions coming from? The government is broke... just keep printing
They had plenty of money for the tax break for the big companies. Now is the time to go big for people middle class and the poor. If we take back the tax break for the 1% we can pay for the bill.
