Although Republicans say they want another round of Direct payments..... do they really???

It's called compromise though and also how does that give them the right to sit on their hands for over a month and not write their own version?

 

Because the House usually is the body to pass spending bills first. Get the 435 people to agree on something first, then it's easier for 100 people to pass it afterwards.

But it's naive to think that the Senate wasn't in contact with the House on both sides of the aisle watching the proposals as they developed.

 

So air on the side of businesses not the little guy?

 

That depends on how the limitations were structured.

 

I've never seen a bill as contentious as this be passed in the 4 days needed because McConnell didn't introduce the bill until July 27th... McConnell didn't know he'd need more than 4 days given how far apart they were from the outset?

 

So vague proving negligence would be like trying to nail water to a tree

 

We will never know, since no limitation structure was ever agreed to.

 

That's true

 

Lol ok

 

You completely missed the point of compromising actually your view of compromising is very Republican give us everything we want or you get nothing

 

since nancy packed her bags and headed out to mansion for ice cream...trump filled the gap.

glad we have a leader more concerned with americans then ice cream

 

what republican do not understand is, the economy is gonna crash hard if they do not help the middle class on down as spending will stop

 

And we all end up paying probably even more...... imo

 

I think they didn't want to vote for a bill with billions to be transferred to state and local governments.

 

The senate could've wrote their own bill in may without that in it

 

I believe they did in June.

 

Which is what I stated in the op.... they waited until 2 weeks before the deadline to do anything

 

if the economy crashes, just like a game of monopoly, we all start over from scratch, the poor will still be poor, and the mega rich probably come out the best, the middle class will be toast

 

It is what politicians do. It is what it is.

 

The democrat ran House came back for an emergency vote on money for the postal service.....looks like thier voter fraud scheme is more important than anything.

 

The House passed this already in the Heroes Bill

The Senate under Moscow Mitch refuses to even vote on it

The House passed a bill to fund the Post Office

The Senate refuses to vote on it

 

I see you omitted, either intentionally or not, that the democrat bill also included a substantial tax deduction of the wealthy in blue states.

 

News to me...documentation required

 

Figured as much.

Pelosi’s Proposed SALT Cap Repeal Would Do Nothing to Address Coronavirus Pandemic or Help Middle Class

 

Thanks.

That's a fair criticism.

It would put money in the hands of middle class Americans. It's a tax CUT . Remember when Republicans used to love those? Money in people's hands is money to help a faltering economy. That's not exactly bad is it?

But hey...negotiate it out. Has the Senate even tried?


Oh by the way...it was a tax meant to offset the 40% corporate tax cut and was targeted at Blue States (and hit a hell of a lot of Republicans)
