“Republicans are struggling to persuade voters to oppose President Biden’s $1.9 trillion economic rescue plan, which enjoys strong, bipartisan support nationwide even as it is moving through Congress with just Democratic backing,” the New York Times reports.

“Democrats who control the House are preparing to approve the package by the end of next week, with the Senate aiming to soon follow with its own party-line vote before unemployment benefits are set to lapse in mid-March…”

“Republican leaders, searching for a way to derail the proposal, on Friday led a final attempt to tarnish the package, labeling it a ‘payoff to progressives.'”

CNN: Here’s what’s in the House Democrats’ stimulus relief plan.

1. Vicious, stupid, greedy bastards.

Their ideology is so calcified and addictive that they can’t shake it even when 70% of Americans disagree with them. That’s really unhealthy for a democratic republic.

2. Fuck 'em. Lead, follow or get out of the damn way...

If Dems can ram the Relief Bill through and get some other shit done, we'll have another sweep in '22. For once, good policy is also good politics.

3. If only they had been this concerned about the deficit with their 1.5 Trillion tax scam

The ONLY thing they care about is derailing Biden's and the Democrats' agenda, so they can get their majorities back in '22. To hell with the country's wellbeing.
