Biden says action on COVID-19 stimulus needed 'now'

Still just... talk. :/


Its almost like they only have 50 senators and a few if them are Republican leaning so they can't just lass whatever they want.

Id be insanely embarrased if I lived my whole adult life and had your level of understanding of our political system. Forget reeducation camps. We need to shuttle millions back into 3rd grade civics classes.

1. Does PaRD think we will get the 3rd Stimulus check?
2. If so, how soon do you thin k we will get it.


No. Don't need to answer question two, but instead I'll provide an in-depth answer for question 1: After the fiasco with the Appropriations Omnibus, not only are Republicans unlikely to approve anything but a clean bill, but many democrats won't either. And Pelosi is unlikely to introduce a clean bill that simply allows for $1400 (the remainder of the $2K), therefore it's not going to happen.

Then it will be chalked up to "Republican Obstructionism" rather than the fiscal irresponsibility of passing such bills.

You were literally born in 1956 and you still don’t understand how your own government works, lmao

You'll have to forgive him. He's in love with MMT and thinks the government can simply print the entire budget into existence every year and experience no drawbacks like all the other banana republics that fire up the rpesses.


If you trust the same government that has the power to print infinite money and back it with oil that isn't theirs.. yet they still find a way to be in debt, you might be naive.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Ten moderate Republican U.S. senators urged Democratic President Joe Biden on Sunday to significantly downsize his $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief package to win bipartisan support as Democrats in Congress prepared to push ahead with his plan this week.

Which of the two proposals do you want? There's over a trillion dollar difference!

Republicans added $8 trillion to the debt in 4 years under Trump and now they want to pretend to care. Dems should pass it with budget reconciliation. Republicans and their party don't matter.

Same story different day.

Reps want the checks.
Dems want the checks and a ton of BS added on.

I don't care who wins. Just want Congress in general to get off their asses and get it done.
