I don't think this is as big of an issue for most people as it is for us. And I think there are too many people desperately waiting for help from Congress to be forced to wait while Democrats to try to force Republicans to say or not say something.

This would be a good thing to do, but in the meantime, they shouldn't hold up anything else they need to do.

Yes. kentuck Jan 2021 #18

In order to get anything done, there needs to be cooperation or at least we try. Biden ran on this. Demsrule86 Jan 2021 #19
