The main sticking points seem to be the Democrats want to keep the current $600 a week stipend and a more focused relief package for small mom and pop businesses while the Repbublicans want it reduced to $400 and keep the old package rules where big corps got the lions share of PPP funds while mom and pops got nothing. So ya blame the Democrats.One good thing about the conservative TV network Newsmax, is its quite quickly moving crawler, that supplies a lot of interesting and important information at a glance. One of those today was "Stimulus impasse risks dragging to September, threatening economy"
Think about it. Who does that benefit ? Obviously, it benefits Democrats, who are benefitting by the economy going bad, due to the lockdowns of the coronavirus. With stimulus money stimulating spending in US stores (aka "the economy"), that would get the economy back on its feet, and have Trump looking good again in time for the November election.
That's the last thing Pelosi and Democrats want to happen. It's been coined as the "ludicrous list" - the list of demands put forth by Pelosi, before a stimulus bill would be sent from the House of Representitives. The list appears to be just another deliberate roadblock (like last springs' demand for stimulus checks for illegal aliens) to keep the economy bad, to hurt Trump's chances for re-election.
Maybe Americans facing eviction can tell all this to their landlords. Americans facing car repossessions can explain it to their lienholders.
