共和党人支持更多的疫情经济刺激计划，但对削减工资税仍持怀疑态度

关于疫情救济的谈判进入了更加严重和紧迫的阶段，两党都希望在月底前通过立法。共和党参议员周二在与民主党人就复兴美国经济法案进行谈判时，敲定了一项初步方案。双方都表示，他们的目标是在下周末之前达成协议。共和党人正在制定新的美国疫情救助法案——排队支持新一轮的个人的刺激支票，以扩大补充失业福利，并为新冠测试提供更多资金。但是人们对特朗普推动削减或暂停雇主和雇员支付的工资税持怀疑态度，因为工资税是用来为社会保障和医疗保险提供资金。一旦失去工资税的来源，社保和医疗保险将面临危机。


Republicans working on a new U.S. virus-relief bill are lining up behind a fresh round of stimulus checks to individuals, an extension of supplemental unemployment benefits and more money for testing, but doubts remain over President Donald Trump’s desired payroll tax cut. GOP senators were working Tuesday to hash out what will be their opening bid in negotiations with Democrats on legislation to prop up the hobbled U.S. economy. Both sides say they aim to have a deal worked out by the end of next week. Some GOP senators, such as South Dakota’s John Thune, said they remain skeptical about Trump’s push to cut or suspend the payroll tax paid by employers and employees, which funds Social Security and Medicare.  source
