He is clearly THE person in the federal government holding up direct aid to US citizens that looks to have broad support across the House, Senate, and White House.

It was good to see that a clean bill, no riders, just straight up an increase to $2k to everyone, passed the House.

Plus, look at this ******* quote. Yeah, the $2k is really targeted for all of those rich friends, as opposed to ordinary Americans who are struggling to make ends meet. Even if it the aid goes to rich individuals, something tells me that the benefit of all the non-rich getting this aid fars out weights this issue.

Quote:”The Senate is not going to be bullied into rushing out more borrowed money into the hands of Democrats’ rich friends who don’t need the help,” McConnell said in a Senate floor speech.

First I oppose all the bail outs - the first one, the last one, the next one. reasons to follow upon request.

Second, when I see you guys bemoaning how the poor are going to survive the increase in gas prices that will result from the environmental program you elected, I will start believing in your sincerity.

Third, does anything that McC does now change or excuse anything Nancy did then?
