Mitch McConnell wants to find a middle ground between the House Democrats’ bloated $3.4 trillion “Heroes Act” proposal and a strict stimulus-only approach favored by some Capitol Hill Republicans. McConnell told reporters that he wants the next bill to focus on “kids, jobs and health care,” and avoid state bailouts and other hobby-horse agenda items tossed into the House proposal.
