    Chuck Schumer recently took potshots at the president for asking for 2.5 billion dollars in emergency funds, for the outbreak of the coronavirus.

    He indicated--in an enormously impolite (and hugely politicized) way--that it was insufficient.

    But this looked more like a smackdown--designed, apparently, to curry favor with his base--than an honest difference of opinion, issued thoughtfully and respectfully.

    (He could have said "The number proposed by the president--2.5 billion dollars--is a good place to start; but it is simply not enough. Let us try 8.5 billion dollars instead.")

    Thoughts?
