The majority leader then teed up a bill to increase the payments as well as repeal liability protections for tech companies and create an election study commission — all things Trump has demanded.

McConnell has one and only one consideration, and that is for him to keep the Senate under his control. He can oppose Trump now that he no longer has a conflict of interest with The President, since his wife will lose her job in his administration next month. He doesn't give a single thought to the damage he has done to American Families, millions of our Citizens need Food Banks to feed themselves and their children, and can't pay their rent or mortgage and risk being evicted and thus homeless.
Simple. He has a relief bill just passed under current administration with at least $600 for everybody and more in many cases, not to mention unemployment, that should hit the people within a week or two under current administration. He may look at it as providing more is a problem for the 117th Congress and the new Biden administration. Do the majority of the people want it? Probably, but the Senate is the deliberate body not the representative body. Right or wrong, yay or neigh, he is doing his job and he just got re-elected, so not worried about the memory of the public. How's that logic?
Yup and weren't the lefty loons on this board just screaming about Trump and the debt?? LOL
Not sure about "lefty loons" or "screaming". Could be, some people actually need the dough. If they really need the money, I can't blame them for wishing somebody above their station would just up and give them the money. If I were Mitch, I might wait for President Biden's request once in office which is only 21 days away, and not having to care about what the "Mad King" wants (or says he wants) on the way out. Just as back when I took Econ, before any of the young people were born, the vast majority of the debt is owed domestic, to Americans, so that part of the public debt is also to the public credit, it was argued, even way back then. Now the economy is several times larger, but the debt is several times larger and getting bigger at a staggering rate, as I cannot actually relate to those type numbers. I am more concerned about lack of regulation to protect the economy from the panicky bitches and idiots nervously looking to see the right place to jump off at the right time.
