Simple question: what do you think Shummer wants $1.4 trillion for. Your sources must say something different.
Senator Schumer has been associated with a push for about $1.4 trillion to $1.5 trillion in new spending during a government shutdown standoff, which he wanted to use for various Democratic priorities, including funding government agencies, extending certain subsidies, and providing healthcare for undocumented immigrants.
These demands were presented as an alternative to a "clean continuing resolution" that would maintain current spending levels and prevent a government shutdown.
Breakdown of spending requests
Government funding: The funds were intended to keep government agencies operating and were part of a larger package that included funding for government agencies, though opponents argued it was more than necessary.
Healthcare for undocumented immigrants:
A portion of the funding was specifically allocated to cover healthcare costs for undocumented immigrants.
Other programs:
Other demands included permanently extending COVID-era subsidies, restoring funding for NPR and PBS, and other measures that opponents characterized as "far-left wish list" items.
show me where the highlighted part can be found in the shutdown fight
thanks
