Democrats block slimmed-down GOP coronavirus relief bill

[RetiredUSN]

A stupid lie, of course. The Democrats passed a bill in May. If it's too costly for the GOP but the GOP agrees with helping, they would negotiate to meet in the middle. Instead, they load up a bill with GOP-policy only poison pills, slap a helpful-sounding title on it, say "our way or the highway", and then play politics when the junk bill inevitably goes nowhere.

Pelosi.....

come up with 2 trillion or else

Taxpayers are a credible investment for they will see that the tax dollars get back into the economy pronto which was noted the first time around thus WE KNOW it works.

Reckless decisions by the GOP government has put tens of millions out of work. Reagan/Bush, Bush/Quale, Bush/Cheney have all demonstrated such and NOW Trump is following suit.

The employed did not ask the government to treat the potential coronavirus threat as if there was no reason for concern. As a result COVID 19 came upon us and is not going away. Meanwhile the TRUMP government is still advising no need to worry all will be swell.

Unemployed workers should also receive $600 per week because they are seriously getting screwed...... perhaps until workers are called back to work or new employment is found that pays a part time living wage @ $33,000 annually or a full time living wage @ $64,500 annually.

No one knows when COVID 19 will go away obviously not anytime soon. Therefore government assistance should remain in place until further notice. Subjecting the nations once employed work force or for that matter any of us to congressional irresponsible behavior every few weeks is not acceptable.

Put the money in the hands of the taxpayers where it belongs to keep people on the job and economic growth on the table.

Why is Capitol Hill funneling billions upon billons of tax dollars from the COVID relief fund to the fossil fuel industry as we speak? This is reckless use of our tax dollars. Fossil fuel does NOT need bailed out.

The negligent GOP Elected officials pay themselves more than $3,370 per week ( $174,000-$194,000 annually) plus a variety of expense accounts = Over rated and over paid!

We taxpayers should receive stimulus money @ $ 2000 twice a month until further notice to keep the economy on task and keep small business employers open and issuing paychecks.

We taxpayers should receive stimulus money @ $ 2000 twice a month to spend in the economy which to keep enough economic growth on the table that generates tax dollar revenues. After all tax dollars do belong to the taxpayers.
