(CNN) Senate Republicans dismissed the House's new stimulus bill as a nonstarter after its release Tuesday, balking at its $3 trillion price tag and warning that any future aid package -- if there is one at all-- won't come until after the Memorial Day recess. "After the recess," Sen. Roy Blunt, a Republican from Missouri, told CNN on Tuesday when pressed on when the Senate would begin serious talks about another stimulus bill. "Let's fix what was missed last time rather than just adding more money," Sen. James Lankford, an Oklahoma Republican, told CNN. On the one hand, many want to avoid more federal spending until they see the impact of the last bills. It's a position that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, a Kentucky Republican, has taken for weeks.
