Why are Democrats stopping COVID relief stimulus?

You should proof-read your posts before hitting the "Post Reply" button to avoid such errors.

 

That's what the negotiation process is for. Too bad Mitch the Bitch can't seem to get that far. But that's not the Democrats' fault.

 

I assume that you acknowledge that the GOP Senators who voted against it, voted against it for very different reasons to the Democratic senators.

 

Yeah, I don't always do enough of that when posting rapidly. I'm sure that you're just completely perfect and never make an error in your posts.

 

The RESULT is Mitch the Bitch's abject failure. HIS failure.

 

What's your point?

 

That your OP is wrong. This is on Mitch the Bitch's head, and his alone.

 

Are you trying to say something?

 

That many people would have made more money by not working.

 

Why? Democrats could have supported the Senate bill.

 

So what? They weren't working.

 

And Mitch the Bitch could allow the House bill that was passed months ago to come up for a vote. He hasn't. This is entirely on him.

 

WHAT is entirely on him?

 

Yes, anyone who is not working because they know that they can make more money by not working - they are not working. You are correct!

 

The failure to get any version of the next round of stimulus up for an up or down vote on the Senate floor.

 

You mean the bill with all of the unrelated things? How was that something worthwhile? If dems cared about COVID relief they presumably would have only included COVID related stuff..

 

If Mitch the Bitch cared about Covid relief he presumably would have at least given it a chance for a vote. It's on him.

 

didn’t say they were. maybe do a FOIA of their emails and you’ll see some

 

• Butch-Lewis: $52 billion; see below for a full explanation of how we reach this estimate.
• NEH/NEA: $20 million
• Postal Service bailout: $25 billion
• SALT cap suspension: $136.6 billion, according to JCT. We initially estimated $140 billion.
• Highway and transit boost: $30.7 billion
• Student loan relief: $45 billion
• Child Tax Credit (CTC) expansion: $118.8 billion, according to JCT. We initially estimated $105.2 billion.
• Total: $408.1 billion

That's your idea of "pork"?

 

Covid has damaged our economy

Are you saying that tax cuts and student loan forgiveness won't help that?

Your not saying they are breaking the law are you?
To get unemployment you must look for a job and take a similar job offer.

I like to look things up. That way, I know what's bunk and what isn't, and I learn which sources are reporting facts and which are relying on our ignorance and just spewing rhetoric, left or right. I recommend it highly.

 

Thank you.

Aside from the gag rule on HHS and suspending the SALT deduction limit, all of these are directly or or indirectly related to the pandemic and economic relief for Americans. I don't have a problem with any of it.

 

Except the bill wasn't exclusively about COVID relief. Do you think that was acceptable by the dems?
