白宫和参议院共和党人就下一轮经济救助提案达成协议，保留失业救济金

白宫和参议院共和党人周四就新一轮的经济救助提案达成了协议。该提案包括另一轮给个人的经济刺激支票、对小企业的额外援助以及失业救济金延长。提案中不包括特朗普总统所希望的削减工资税，提案中的160亿美元资金用于病毒检测这一项是白宫之前反对的。参议院共和党人同意，他们也希望降低失业救济金的金额，他们认为这种做法会阻止人们重返工作岗位。尽管财政部长Steven Mnuchin在电视采访中表示，他们将试图将新的失业救济金限制为工人工资的70％，但据《纽约时报》获得的摘要显示，这一比例可能会提高到100％。摘要还显示，提案中的其他措施包括260亿美元用于疫苗的开发和部署，200亿美元直接付给农民，以及1050亿美元用于教育，教育资金中的300亿美元将留给重新开放的机构。

The White House and Senate Republicans neared agreement on Thursday on a new economic rescue proposal that includes another round of stimulus payments to individuals, additional aid to small businesses and a partial extension of enhanced unemployment benefits, according to a summary of the agreement that was circulating on Capitol Hill.

It does not include a payroll tax cut, a favorite idea of President Trump’s, which administration officials backed away from amid tepid support from Republicans in Congress. It includes $16 billion in funds for new testing that the administration had opposed.

Republicans agree that they want to slash the jobless payments, which they argue discourage people from returning to work. But while Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said in a television interview that they would seek to limit the new payments to 70 percent of a worker’s wages, the outline suggests the level could rise to 100 percent.

The summary also includes $26 billion for vaccine development and deployment, $20 billion in direct payments to farmers and a total of $105 billion for education, $30 billion of which would be reserved for institutions that reopen.  source
