Political aspects of covid v.2...

I believe they are two separate bills and trump may have already vetoed the defense bill.

Yeah. I misread a post on another site.

These were defense provisions the Republicans originally wanted in the defense bill. It's a bargaining process. You have to give in on some things you don't want to get what you want. It's compromise, something Congress needs to relearn. Maybe some of us also...

 

[TIDE-HSV]

Thats a hard decision but sometimes enough is enough. Congress has to somehow learn NOT to add crap to needed bills. As long as they know they can get away with it they will continue to do it.

IOW, no compromise, ever...

Our government was literally made on compromises...

Thats not a compromise. Thats loading a needed bill with crap that has nothing to do with the original bill.
A compromise would (or should) be over pertinent provisions of the bill.

That is compromise...

Then that's the type of 'compromise' we can do without. It just gives incentive to congress to continue to waste money on projects that cant stand on their own.

With that type of rigidity, no bills would ever get passed...

With perseverance, things would eventually change, but it wouldn't be easy.

In this environment, with tens of millions of Americans out of work, it is impossible. We simply cannot allow that many Americans to starve and/or become homeless.

 

[TIDE-HSV]

With intransigence, things will never change, and deadlock will become permanent.

FIFY. Think about it. You're parroting the Tea Party (or whatever they call themselves now) line...

Every bill passed has a certain amount of poison in it that the legislators on both sides must drink when passing a bill. That way each side something to use against the other on the campaign trail.

Yep, I can already hear the commercial. Ominous music. My opponent was against the covid relief bill because he hates poor people that are unemployed.

Only downside would be listening to Copeland in order to sync up the riffs.

Hi, my name is Mark Rubio. I'm a senator so I can say any damn thing I want with authority. If I'm wrong and thousands die, that's not my fault because I'm not a doctor. I see no need to err on the side of caution because I don't believe Fauci knows what he's talking about.

not too many years ago, this moron was being held up as the reasonable future of the republican party.

I guess we shouldn't be surprised with the Trump admin over promising/under delivering. We got 284,275 doses here in GA. Last dashboard had us at only administering 10% so far.
