PP has nothing to do with this virus.My understanding is that virtually nothing she wanted got into the final bill.That’s the Class Act President we have... our government is being run by a bunch of emotional children. WTF is going on?!
So the waste of space, that had nothing to do with a relief bill, isn't inviting the only leader in Washington that decided what was going to be in it?
That's rich.
Sorry, the Senate decided what was going to be in it as well. The witch tried to stuff it full of pork, and the Senate told her to take it out.
I'm sure they had to give her something, just nothing near the laundry list she first presented.
Which witch tried to stuff it full of pork? McConnell? Because there was plenty of from both sides in it but you lunatics are incapable of recognizing your own. Harbor dredging? Sunscreen?
A lot of important stuff got in.
- Vastly expanded unemployment benefits through June for anyone who’s lost income due to COVID-19.
- $100 billion for hospitals.
- A change in the “checks for everyone” program to insure that low-income workers get the full $1,200.
- Removal of a provision that would have excluded nonprofits that receive Medicaid funding from the small-business grants.
- Barring the president, Vice President, cabinet heads and members of Congress and their families from getting aid.
- Oversight on the corporate lending facility.
- $150 billion for state and local governments.
- $25 billion for food stamps.
- $30 billion for schools.
- Suspend federal student loan payments through Sept. 30 with no accrual of interest on those loans.
These are not Republican agendas, they are US agendas. They are all related to the damage of COVID-19.
Those were what the Democrats were fighting to get in to the bill. Not the Republicans. What you criticized Pelosi for.
Some of what went in to the bill was part of the Republican Agenda, for instance language prohibiting Planned Parenthood from getting any money.
If people are maintaining their "social distancing" they shouldn't need the services of Planned Parenthood anyhow.
