Pelosi, Schumer Want Carve-Out 'For Their Own Priorities' -

• https://www.zerohedge.com by Tyler Durden

There isn't a cookie jar in the world that Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Chuck Schumer (D-NY) won't stick their hands in - as the pair have insisted on adding hundreds of billions of dollars 'for their own priorities' on top of $250 billion in new emergency aid for small businesses requested by President Trump, according to the New York Times.

Trump is looking to secure congressional passage of the additional $250 billion for the recently launched small-business payroll program, for which he'll need the support of top Democrats.

Blocking his path, per usual, are Peosi and Schumer, who say they will approve Trump's request as long as $125 billion of that is diverted to 'community-based financial institutions that serve farmers, families, women, minorities and veterans.'
