Why are Democrats stopping COVID relief stimulus?

We don't need stimulus.

 

I can't access that article unless I download their app, or read the original on Breitbart, a far right site with zero credibility.

Here's the text of the House bill, passed back in May. Please point out these "unrelated goodies."

The answer to your question, as asked, is "probably not"!

 

BTW, the "Someone hasn't been paying attention" bit was snarkt and incalled for. I've been very civil with you. Read my signature line.

 

More right wing rhetoric.

People would always rather work. Those who would forego meaningful employment for government handouts are a tiny minority.

 

So you're saying that it's TOO MUCH money and this is why Dems rejected it?

 

I don't really care what the filibuster rules are, only that the party in opposition actually has to filibuster, not merely talk about doing it.

 

Yes, some people were making more when the $600 was being handed out.
That ended 2 months ago.
Some people were making less.

I don't see how that made anyone millionaires as you claim.
And only by receiving extra money for a few months. No one will be a millionaire on $600/wk for 12 weeks.

 

Ever heard of exaggeration?

 

Based on what exactly?

But isn't that what the cheques are for?

 

Someone hasn't been paying attention: https://www.ntu.org/publications/de...billion-in-unnecessary-or-wasteful-provisions

 

And this means that everyone would make less money under the Republican's way? Keep in mind, I'm not asking if this means that everyone would make less of the EXTRA PAYMENT money, as described in your above article extract - obviously the Republican's way is $400 less.

 

Some might call it resorting to blatant falsehoods. YMMV

 

Where are the answers published?

 

1) That's of a right-wing blogger

2) That's what the negotiation process is for.

 

Many people would have made more money. Simple.

 

Yeah sure, there are ZERO jobs!

 

And now the Senate has passed one NOW! So both parties are as bad as eachother!

 

And that makes the contents of the article false?

 

No, the Senate hasn't. That was the entire point of you own OP, was it not?

 

That makes the definition of "unnecessary and/or wasteful" their OPINION and colored by their ideology. Opinions do vary.

 

Are you willing to state that absolutely everything in the bill was related to COVID?

 

I meant to say that a bill has been presented.
