The House, led by Democrats, let this happen. Hopefully the voters will hold them accountable.Here's the democrat's Bill. Its $3T and its not going anywhere. So we'll see how long both sides can hold their breath.yeah, but $3T isn't going to work. The Senate has a better one.The house passed one 10 weeks before yesterday.I agree you have the standard procedure for passing a Bill.Its ALWAYS do it the Democrat way or nothingSoon, millions of us are about to run out of money to pay our bills. Republicans are willing to at least provide the funds to extend unemployment while working on the bill to deal with all of the other financial/stimulus related manners.
Yet she has the nerve to tell us that it's the Republicans that are holding this up? the Republicans are the ones that are about to starve millions of children?
Hopefully, all that are about to go broke are well aware that it's Nancy Pelosi that's refusing to help them out and not the Republicans!
House Democrats passed a $3T aid package about 10 weeks ago. Yes, it's the republicans who are holding up aid to ordinary Americans.
That's "compromise" Democrat style
No. You take up the bill in the Senate in committee; you pass your own version of it and then you have a conference where differences are worked out and send it to the President.
Talking to blob supporters is like explaining the space shuttle to Fred Flintstone.
However this Bill needs to be passed yesterday (literally), so it needs to be negotiated. and passed ASAP.
I'm saying $300 a week for unemployed and zero for retirees and workers is probably doable.
Its the same UE benefit as if no covid was here, just extended thru December.
The Senate Bill doesn't meet any definition of "better" - for anyone.
The Senate is giving more money to companies who don't need it, and cutting off the workers. There's money to build a new FBI Headquarters, but none for the Post Office to prepare for the election, and no money for the states for testing. The Senate bill also includes a poison pill: Immunity from lawsuits for employers who fail to protect workers.
So no, the Senate wasn't doing anything for workers anyway. The Democrats passed eviction protection, extended unemployment benefits, and gave money for States and their testing and "essential workers", and the Senate didn't even look at the Bill, much less pass a bill in the Senate before going off on vacation, letting benefits lapse and ensuring that civil unrest will worsen.
The Senate, lead by Republicans, let this happen. Hopefully the voters will hold them accountable.
They won’t
They did their job. They passed a bill. That is what houses of Congress do.
