So...according to this thread, Trump arranged for a loophole to provide $2T assistance to Americans via US Treasury debit cards, and Pelosi, seeing the attachment, becomes enraged and storms out of the room.
BUT
According to evidence the bill attachment was introduced by Tlaib https://tlaib.house.gov/sites/tlaib.house.gov/files/Automatic%20Boost%20to%20Communities%20Act%20.pdf
What's really alarming is this section:
In the long term, the card infrastructure should be converted into a permanent, Treasuryadministered digital public currency wallet system, to serve as a privacy-respecting “eCash” complement to universal Fed Accounts and/or Postal Bank Accounts for All.
This sounds an awful lot like UBI. Also, maybe it's only specific to this bill, but Patriots, we absolutely can't accept an all-digital currency. It will be our DEATH

"WE'RE ABOUT TO ERASE ALL DEBT!!!!!!"
What about me? Scrimped and saved, paid off my mortgage, paid off all my credit card debt. What about me? Do I get back money for not being an idiot? Same with student loan debt. Say Government wipes out student loan debt? What about people who worked and saved, and paid off their student loan debt? Do they magically get reimbursed?
There is that damn good idiottube video where it shows, in cartoon form, how our dollar has been worthless since 1913. What about the cash in my pocket? I am all for a reset, FINE. But there are a whole lot of unanswered questions.

We all suffered in this god awfull slave system.
Some paid it off, some just paid and never gotten to the bottom of loans. Some never paid, and was squeezed under the thumb of bad creditscore etc.
Its a new system. Dont think we need fiat dollars reimbursed

A better idea is each American would receive a fixed amount, via annual tax credits when you file your taxes similar to a child tax credit, not a lump sum so money will not flood the market and devalue the dollar. Trump is a genius and will be fair. Minor children will just have a trust so scrupulous parents won’t spend their money.

I would assume it's removing national debt. Not personal debt. Without the blood suckers to pay, taxes will be substantially lowered. Count your inconvenience as a part of this generations sacrifice to make a better tomorow for our children and Grand children.

Here's another alarming part of Tlaib's proposal:
These cards would end up in the hands of every undocumented immigrant and corrupt politician in this country!
