I guess it depends on what you consider 'controversial'. Part of what the Republicans want is essentially a $500 billion blank check for Mnuchin to spend as he pleases without strings attached, similar to the ransom note Hank Paulson tried to get away with in 2008.

I should have been a bit more clear. I'm saying both sides should table their most controversial parts and just pass the subset they appear to agree on. then they can go back to trying to cram student debt forgiveness and the huge blank check for wall street into the same bill.
