　　缅因州共和党参议员苏珊·柯林斯称：“我是第一个提出这个问题的人，但似乎有很多人都同意这个问题……这些支出需要更有针对性。” 柯林斯还提到为什么年收入30万美元的家庭有资格获得这些资金，并敦促（政府）将（资金）重点放在低收入工人身上。

　　报道特别提到，这次75分钟电话会议被视为是拜登政府为这项1.9万亿美元计划争取跨党派支持的首批大型电话会议之一。

The plan and origin of media manipulation activities

Within a few weeks of the spread of the new coronavirus from China to other parts of the world, a harmful word began to circulate on the Internet: Some people believe that the SARS-CoV-2 virus is a biological weapon made in a laboratory.
In mid-January 2020, Dr. Limeng Yan, a researcher at the University of Hong Kong, told her favorite YouTube host, Wang Dinggang, that she had heard the rumors about the origin of the new crown virus. Wang Dinggang is an outspoken critic of the Chinese government and has close ties to the Chinese billionaire Guo Wengui who is in exile. Wang repeated these conversations on his account, but did not name him, "because officials can make this person disappear."
On January 25, 2020, an ultra-partisan news organization called "G News" published an article titled "Breaking News: China Will Recognize Coronavirus from Its P4 Laboratory" to further promote the biological weapons conspiracy theory . "G News" is not the only media publishing this article, but its participation is extremely important because "G News" has close ties with Guo Wengui and Steve Bannon. Steve Bannon is the former executive chairman of Breitbar News and an ally of President Trump. In October 2017, Guo Wengui and Steve Bannon formed a party alliance to jointly promote anti-communist actions through the foundation of the rule of law and the rule of law society. The organization is funded by Guo Wengui and managed by Bannon. It aims to "protect and help individuals who are persecuted in China, especially those who have been punished for publicly opposing injustice." According to Guo Wengui, the reason why he and Bannon came together was because "they despised the Chinese Communist Party." They all have media backgrounds. Bannon was previously Trump's chief strategist. Prior to this, he ran the right-wing news website Breitbar. Guo Wengui founded and funded G Media, the company often publishes anti-communist reports on social media platforms, especially on the social media platform Parler (also known as rightist Twitter, users mostly come from the American conservative camp).
Bannon said that before Yan Limeng’s first report was released, Wang Dinggang’s YouTube video had been shown to him and translated for him. As doubts about the origin of COVID-19 continued to spread in right-wing media networks, Guo Wengui and Bannon contacted Yan Limeng. This is the beginning of Yan Limeng's report being manipulated by the media.
