Will it even by a good faith proposal or just a delaying tactic?

Edit: GOP senators offer Covid-19 relief counterproposal to force talks with White House back to middle

1. 40 - 60 lawsuits without merit to reverse the law once it passes

Then they will provide us with the best plan anyone has ever seen two weeks later. It is always two weeks from now.

2. next? first? probably like their ACA replacement or infrastructure plan.

The GOP is a 24/7 ad campaign to gain or stay in power. Ideas? Solutions? Hah!

3. A corporate giveaway

that doesn’t help individuals or local communities.

[Wounded Bear]

4. Not sure I care much...

Probably less than $1k direct payments, cuts in funds to state/local gov't for vaccination, limits to Medicaid...

Whatever, it'll most likely be crap designed more to delay the process than to actually help anybody but Big Pharma and Big Med.

Give them one day, tops, then ram the Biden plan through.

5. It will be short

Everybody dies.

6. A stiff fine if you test positive.

7. No 15$ minimum wage

[tinrobot]

8. Vaccines to the highest bidder, let the market decide.

9. Infect all non-whites with it and hope it goes away? These people are racist nut cases

[WHITT]

10. They've Proposed Cutting The Legislation In Half

It's as if the problem is 100 hungry children, and the Dems have put forth legislation to feed 100 children, but the Repubs are proposing legislation to feed 50 children.

Nonstarter.

11. More tax cuts! Tax cuts cure EVERYTHING!

Tell 'em to go pound sand and then head to reconciliation.

Joe's too much a gentleman to say that, though.

Give them a day or two, THEN tell 'em to go pound sand and head to reconciliation.

12. Thalidomide for all

Chased by a dose of hydroxychloroquine.

[PersianStar]

13. Repugs are against individual stimulus payments

14. Apparently, its a quarter cost. so pretty gutted
