Democrats are “heartless”. They don’t want to give STIMULUS PAYMENTS to people who desperately need the money, and whose fault it was NOT that the plague came in from China. Go for the much higher numbers, Republicans, it all comes back to the USA anyway (one way or another!).

No, Democrats want to give those people who need the money the money they need. Republicans want to instead give them a fraction of what they need so that they can give corporations more.

Meanwhile you got destroyed in the ABC town hall last night!

Pretty sure the House passed a second relief bill that is not coming to the floor in the Senate.

Pretty sure the senate GOP has no interest in passing anything since it won't help them get re-elected. They are all treasonous, traitorous, mammon loving bastids....

“Higher numbers” refers to the value of the democratic package as opposed to what republicans want to pass. He’s trying to pretend that its democrats who are reluctant to spend to provide relief. “It all comes back” is the progressive concept that stimulus will raise the tax base and provide return on investment. This is Trump lying that up is down and democrats are the ones stalling relief.

but we won't make it until the end of January. We need some help right now...hubs and I are both unemployed. And I fear for the house if something isn't done to help. We should be talking it up everyday and putting pressure on the GOP Senate...even if McConnell does nothing, we won't be blamed and we should try.
