You all are bitching about Pelosi (I am not a big fan either), but the republicans didn't want any stimulus checks or unemployment benefit increases. Republicans always seem to be pushing for big corporate bailouts and protection for corporation to prevent lawsuits for putting workers in compromising situations during the pandemic.I distinctly recall months ago when talks for a 2nd round began, Republicans offered +$400 per week unemployment as a compromise (way too high, IMO) and Dems balked and demanded the full +$600 again. Now we get a bill and it's +$300/week. lulz At least this time, the Dems' incompetence helped America. Also, for those upset there isn't more money coming... Sorry, but Congress didn't have room for that in the bill with all the stealth law changes to benefit multi-billion dollar conglomerates that will fuck us over forever: https://twitter.com/SenThomTillis/status/1341133844712480769 https://www.yahoo.com/news/covid-relief-bill-illegal-streaming-233433268.html Bipartisan, of course. Cause both sides are in the pocket of lobbyists. ... Copied to Clipboard! |
