What was the Bill? IIRC Republicans were never on board with the proposed 1400 dollars let alone the 2000 one. They spent more than 5 months to dole out 600 under Trump and even that wasn’t by choice.

Republicans aren’t looking for bipartisanship.

I'm not back pedaling. You are obviously the one that doesn't keep up with current events. 10 republicans senators offered 618 billion of Covid specific funding that didn't include all the pork stuffed into blue teams bill but it was immediately rejected. It could have passed easily a month ago.

PORK


As The Wall Street Journal has noted, most of the House bill has less to do with the virus and more to do with paying lobbyists and other groups favorable to Democrats.

There’s another $7.2 billion for paycheck protection, which again would be less expensive and possibly unnecessary if businesses were allowed to reopen. When this money runs out and businesses are still mostly closed will there be more spending, adding to the already unsustainable debt?


There’s $86 billion to rescue 185 pension plans, which, as the Journal notes, have been “chronically underfunded due to lax federal standards and accounting rules. Yet the bailout comes with no real reform.” That’s the thing about so many government programs. They never have to fix a problem, only demonstrate good intentions so politicians can save their careers.

Public elementary and secondary schools, most of which remain closed thanks to teachers’ unions that wish to extract even more money for themselves, without returning to classrooms, are targeted to receive $129 billion. Schools don’t have to reopen to get the money, despite the science, which Biden promised to rely on, that says young children are least likely to become infected. The Congressional Budget Office has said that Congress previously authorized $113 billion for schools, but that most of that money has not been spent.

There’s plenty more, including massive amounts of cash for programs favored by Democrats. In addition to Planned Parenthood, notes the Journal, included are billions to defray premiums for the Affordable Care Act, $39 billion for child care, $30 billion for public transit agencies, the $15/hour minimum wage, which may lead to more layoffs and fewer hires, $1.5 billion for AMTRAK, a bridge to Canada (not to be confused with Alaska’s notorious “bridge to nowhere” some years ago), and as the CBO notes, “$500 billion grants to fund activities related to the arts, humanities, libraries and museums and Native American language preservation.”

I have some issues with the additions to the COVID relief bill, biggest of which is a minimum wage increase, but I don't see why schools, pension plans and health care expenses shouldn't be a part of relief.

Pretty hilarious that Thomas advocates for Federal Regulation to be a part of the bill when it comes to pensions and schools. To say nothing of businesses reopening.

Joe Biden can't magically reopen schools and businesses any more than Donald Trump could, but Small Government conservatives keep begging for the President to snap his fingers and make local authority disappear.

The problem with bailing out the unfunded blue state pension plans is they didn't make them reform and start funding them from now on. They will just dig right back into the same hole and wait for the Federal govt to bail them out again.

Six weeks into the Biden administration and there still has been no solo press conference from the president. That is the longest stretch of silence from any new president in at least a century.

It came down to a crazy stupid racist troll who was obsessed with dividing the country racially or a brain dead idiot. Let's be real both were not qualified intellectually for the job. The tie break for me was who was less annoying. I decided I wanted to end the Trump reality TV show that was being shoved down our throats for the last 4 years.
