Shady Posted March 23, 2020 Report Posted March 23, 2020 After several days of negotiations in regards to a corona virus/economic relief package, Democrats have held up the process for partisan political pet projects that have nothing to do with the issues at hand. It’s really hard not to hate these people. Quote
scribblet Posted March 23, 2020 Report Posted March 23, 2020 I think the Babylon Bee nailed it (satire) https://babylonbee.com/news/dems-worried-stimulus-package-would-stimulate-economy WASHINGTON, D.C.—Amid political bickering over a potential economic relief package, Democrats warned Americans that the stimulus bill would stimulate the economy. "This stimulus bill might stimulate the economy -- which would hurt our chances to stop the bad orange man," said Senator Chuck Schumer. "We can't overstate how much damage this would do to our 2020 campaign. The last thing we need is a strong economy going into November."

godzilla Posted March 23, 2020 Report Posted March 23, 2020 seems to be going both ways: "Republicans included a provision for extending an abstinence education program that was set to expire in May as well as a provision that prevents nonprofits from receiving Small Business Administration funding" etc... Coronavirus rescue package stalls after Democrats defeat key vote how about a repeal of the $2.3T Trump tax cut too.... should pay for all of the necessary corporate bailouts. At $2.3 trillion cost, Trump tax cuts leave big gap Quote

It’s good to save for bad times, but not during bad times. Get rid of abstinence education, I couldn’t care less, but that doesn’t equal the litany of Democrats policy projects. Quote
Michael Hardner Posted March 24, 2020 Report Posted March 24, 2020 Ah HERE is the answer...https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/23/opinion/coronavirus-bailout-mcconnell-congress.html?smid=fb-nytimes&smtyp=cur&fbclid=IwAR2_nWduimRjuMJMbnf6XwgNMsGUtrbN-qcWQbWk5byKbKMf42_MSXYba24 Quote Mr. McConnell emerged on Sunday evening with a bill that would provide a lot of help for corporate executives and shareholders, and not nearly enough for American workers. It would let the Treasury Department hand out hundreds of billions of dollars to corporations — potentially including businesses owned by President Trump — without requiring a binding commitment to preserve jobs and wages. And the bailouts could remain secret for six months. ... The federal government is already lagging badly in its response to the coronavirus crisis. People are losing their jobs, and their businesses, with every passing day. It is time to act. I'm not a fan of Trudeau but the government announcement led with help for working people, families and self-employed people followed by small business.

BubberMiley Posted March 24, 2020 Report Posted March 24, 2020 Excellent piece by Paul Krugman on how the GOP is trying to manipulate this situation to screw the struggling people who need this money most. No shame at all, but we can tell that by how they still defend Trump after he downplayed the virus and likely causing thousands of infections, just because he's a terrible leader. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/23/opinion/republicans-coronavirus.html Quote "I think it's fun watching the waldick get all excited/knickers in a knot over something." -scribblet

That’s an opinion piece. Try looking at actual facts. Trudeau’s response is pittance to whats actually going to be required for real help to businesses and workers. Quote

And more New York Times opinions! Try facts instead. You can actually read the Democrats bill. It’s released to the public. You don’t need to take anyone’s opinion of what it’s about. What’s using more minority owned banks have to do with passing a bill now guys? Quote
Shady Posted March 24, 2020 Author Report Posted March 24, 2020 @Michael Hardner Read the actual bill, instead of finding ways to excuse it, or not believe it. Otherwise that’s just being a partisan hack. 1 Quote

eyeball Posted March 24, 2020 Report Posted March 24, 2020 Funny how right-wingers in Canada are concerned about giving too much power to Trudeau and the left in the US is afraid of giving too much power to Trump. But what's really weird is that right-wingers in Canada are afraid Trump won't be given enough. How North American is that?
