It is DOA in the Senate, thanks to Mitch.....House passes the Trump quested $2000 stimulus, and quite a number of repubs joined in.
Now, let's see what they do in the Senate.
House backs increasing coronavirus stimulus checks to $2,000
The bill faces an uphill battle in the GOP-run Senate despite Trump's support.www.nbcnews.com
The Democratic-controlled House of Representatives passed a bill Monday evening to increase direct coronavirus relief payments to some people to $2,000, though the measure faces an uphill battle in the Republican-run Senate, despite support from President Donald Trump.
Does anyone know if those disbursements are taxable as income?House passes the Trump quested $2000 stimulus, and quite a number of repubs joined in.

Maybe...maybe not.It is DOA in the Senate, thanks to Mitch.....
Maybe...maybe not.
The Senate Republicans know what is at stake...especially regarding their careers. (After all, staying in office is more important to them than anything else.)
Even the people who don't already hate Congressional Elites will know who's side the GOP Elites are on...which is their donor's and lobbyist's side.If this does not pass in the Senate, the People will know who's side the Republicans are on.
And its not the People's.
The article said it narrowly passed, does that mean it was a party line vote?
The $2,000 stimulus checks will never be passed tomorrow. Most of the senate held Republicans had already opposed even a $1,200 check because the Democrats refused to remove the pork.

[/QUOTE]The House passed the payments in a fast-track procedure with just enough support to meet the two-thirds threshold needed. The chamber approved the measure in a 275-134 vote.
Democrats backed the bill by a 231-2 margin. Forty-four GOP representatives supported the measure and 130 voted against it, after days of calls by the Republican Trump to increase the payments to $2,000.
Didn't the master negotiator demand that they pass the $2,000 stimulus just this morning?
It’s the GOP’s pork. They negotiated for it. Trump signed off on it by signing the bill, as did his proxy Mnuchin who negotiated the amount, as well as McCarthy and McConnell.
Trump wants the 2k checks. Nancy Pelosi wants em. Schumer wants em. Americans want em. Only folks who are voting no are Republicans. If you have data showing Dems voting against the checks, I’ll be here!
There will not be a $2,000 stimulus check. End of story.
Yes. It barely cleared the 2/3 hurdle 275-134. GOPs voted 130 - 44 against it with 21 of them not voting. The defense override was easy.At least 40 republicans voted yes, I forget the final count though, almost all dems voted yes

Right. Cause the GOP doesn’t want it. We got that part. And?
Huh? Would you repeat that? I didn't get it.Did you say that the GOP did does not want to help Americans?

So what I'm hearing is that the GOP does not want to help Americans.*I* didn’t say it.
Republicans keep saying they, the GOP, do not want to help Americans.
