So kindly explain why ANYONE is trying to tack other things...like changes to how the States conduct voting...onto a bill to fight a virus?As I understand it companies can get the loan and if it goes to worker paychecks the loan will be forgiven
HUGE! 20,000 Small Business Survival Loans
Go Unprocessed on Thursday After Pelosi and
Democrats BLOCK FUNDING to American Workers
Winning hearts, minds, and elections...one disastrous step (for them) and one heart-breaking (for Americans / business owners) at a time......
HUGE! 20,000 Small Business Survival Loans Go Unprocessed on Thursday After Pelosi and Democrats BLOCK FUNDING to American Workers
Democrat Speaker Nancy Pelosi is at home in her San Francisco mansion during the California lockdown doing appearances on late night television while American workers and business owners go broke. As of Thursday Speaker Pelosi would not approve more funding for small business. Last week...www.thegatewaypundit.com
As usual, you have it backwards, Evgeny. Nancy Pelosi and company are the ones who got the American people the checks that Trumpy is putting his name on. Remember when you were whining about her blocking that bill? Well it had NOTHING in it for American workers at all? Nancy insisted that the money go directly to the American workers.
She's doing it again. Making sure that the money's don't go to hotels and resorts, but rather to the American people in line at the food banks. They're the ones who need the money. Not the corporations who got a 12% tax cut last year.
The Democrats are also making sure that the bailout moneys have oversight. Trump dismantled the oversight the moment it was set up after the last bill. Trump is too dishonest to be given unsupervised access to billions of dollars.
if they dont pass it along to the workers then they will be liable
Yes, if they're still in business. But if they're not still in business, it gets added to their bankruptcy, and the workers are still out of pocket. The big issue is there is NO OVERSIGHT, to ensure that they actually do give the money to their workers. Trump promised workers that every worker in America would get a $4000 raise from the corporate tax cuts, too, and we all saw how that worked out for American workers.
The critical issues are ones of oversight, and ensuring that the PEOPLE get money to eat. Trump seems to be putting corporations and the economy ahead of PEOPLE throughout this pandemic. We're now seeing a lot of "What would be an 'acceptable rate of death' to get the economy open again?" questions from conservatives. These are the same people who are still trying to ban abortion, but they're prepared to sacrifice certain portions of the population to the great god, Money.
The economy will go on as long as there are people. People will always have needs and will be willing to barter their skills and talents with others to meet those needs. What may not go on is behemouth corporations who suck up the wealth of the nation at the expense of the health and well being of the PEOPLE.
Americans are being forced to face the reality that a nation that is run solely for the benefit of its corporations and doesn't meet the needs of all of its PEOPLE, will never survive. The Roman Republic lasted for 1000 years because even the most corrupt of its rulers understood that they governed only so long as the PEOPLE, who they called the "Headcount" had their needs tended to. The guys in the taverns with nothing to do but complain about their lives could easily revolt, and the ruling elites could end up with their heads on pikes. It happened early on in the Republic and the elites never forgot it.
The workers need the money, before ANYBODY else. 22,000,000 PEOPLE are unemployed. They've already been dropped from the payrolls, and they need the money FIRST. Businesses can get moratoriums on payments and obligations, PEOPLE need to eat. TODAY.
The preamble of the Constitution begins "WE THE PEOPLE".
This is Democrats holding the people hostage...holding up monies that would be going to average people on the street...that would be keeping small businesses IN business...and they're doing it to take advantage of the situation to further their political agenda!
Voters have a right to vote and the federal government should be safeguarding those rights. Being able to vote without fear of catching coronavirus is very germane. The federal government can regulate federal elections if they choose. Your political agenda is to keep voters from exercising their God given right.
If you want to change the way we vote, BB then by all means pass legislation that does so! Holding up money needed to keep businesses from going bankrupt because you're adding things like mandatory voting changes is just plain WRONG! Nancy Pelosi knows the GOP isn't giving her that! So she knows that she's killing that bill and she doesn't care!
