Pelosi says COVID-19 aid can't wait until September: 'People will die' | TheHill
Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Wednesday she hopes negotiations over a coronavirus relief package don't drag on into next month, warning that kind of delay means "people will die."
The talks between Pelosi, Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.), Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and White House chief of staff Mark Meadows collapsed last Friday after almost two weeks of near-daily meetings.
The stalemate has left both sides still pointing fingers.
Congress also faces an end-of-September deadline to avoid a government shutdown, raising the possibility that the discussions over how to provide Americans economic relief from the COVID-19 pandemic could become part of government funding negotiations. But Pelosi rejected the idea of waiting that long.
"I hope not, no. People will die," Pelosi told reporters on Capitol Hill when asked if she thinks Congress will wait until September to act on relief.
================================================================
Looking on the bright side of life, fewer bodies will free up hospital beds for living COVID-19 patients. And they would not have voted for Trump anyway.
Then she, and Schumer, should get off their asses and work with the administration to create bills that address real needs instead of the Dems Loony Wish List. The Dems have played this game repeatedly and their base sucks it up.Pelosi says COVID-19 aid can't wait until September: 'People will die' | TheHill

She better get her negotiating ass in gear. Get the job done.

why do you even post anymore? this entire ****ed up Trump era is your fault (and the fault of every Trump voter).
and we tried to warn you.
LOL!!
Yeah, yeah...everything is someone else's fault.
Pelosi and her insistence outrageous spending has nothing to do with anything.
Right.
:roll:
Next thing we know, you'll be blaming the ballooning deficit on Trump.
Regale us, where does the ‘blame’ lie?
She better get her negotiating ass in gear. Get the job done.
Reminder: The House of Representatives already passed a bill. The Senate has not even voted on one.
So?
Does that negate the failed, half-assed attempts to negotiate a bill that both sides can agree upon?

I would suggest that Pelosi and Schumer agree to short term Bill to get people by for a few months. Heck Congress has been using continuing resolutions for years to get pass budget impasses.
Congress is broken. Both Parties are to blame.
Pelosi can get a deal TODAY, saving lives. She doesn't care about lives. She cares about politics.
Nope. This is all Trump and McConnell.
We will disagree. Republicans and Democrats in Congress are to blame. Trump doesn't help.
So?
Does that negate the failed, half-assed attempts to negotiate a bill that both sides can agree upon?
All they had to do in the short run was renew the existing structure while they bickered.
Trump and McConnell weren't having that. Now they own the ongoing meltdown, which should become self-evident in about 7 more days.
Mitch had months to negotiate and he did nothing. The Senate Republicans are the failure. They are so far up Trumps ass the sun does not shine. They all need to be voted out.
