More stimulus? Maybe. Both both parties in Washington have different ideas about just what should be stimulated.

The White House has some different ideas that include a payroll tax cut, an expanded tax break for corporate spending on meals and entertainment, a cut in the capital gains tax, and extending the tax deadline further into 2020.
