The White House and some Republican governors are angling toward a cautious reopening of the economy, while Republican leaders in Congress have tried to pump the brakes on future federal stimulus spending.
As Trump and fellow Republicans work to win over a fearful and increasingly jobless public in an election year, they are confronting support for government intervention that is far stronger than usual. Voters don’t want the spending to be unmitigated. An NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll showed that by a margin of 48% to 40%, Americans were more likely to say they were concerned about spending too much and driving up the deficit than they were that the government could spend too little and prolong the recession. This is in keeping with a long national history of favoring economic caution.
Jobless claims have surpassed 30 million since the virus began, and independent analyses have suggested that millions more who have not filed claims are also eligible for unemployment benefits. Various recent surveys have found that in half of U.S. households, at least one family member has lost work as a result of the virus.
That sentiment may have contributed to Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s decision Thursday to aim a proposed $1 trillion bill — which would be the largest legislation of the crisis to originate in the House — at funding state and local governments.
