Who wasn't serious about compromise ??? Dems were ready to talk Repubs walked wanted no part of it Those ahs can't even agree with each other,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,except when it comes to kissing trumps buttYou do understand that dems wrote up their bill 2 months and 10 days ago and republicans are the ones playing switch ,,,,And repub senate taking weekend off now in time of crisisThis is directly on Congress, they had several months to work this out and failed to do anything except take vacations, which they want to do again in a week or two.
With all the sacrifices that they want Americans to make, not going on a vacation for a few weeks while many Americans are unemployed, have had hours cutback, benefits change, stressed because of Covid-19, rioting,, it is the least they could have done.
What happened to elected officials serving their constituents? They need to get a clue or get voted out.
And the House and Senate took off earlier this month. They are all scheduled to leave again august 10th. Congress is void of leadership. Another example why the two parties need to end. We need to quit sending money and tell them why. We need to vote out all incumbents and tell them why. The problem is the voting public is just plain blind to the evil that our political system has become. No longer are representatives serving the voters, they have elevated themselves over the people and their cares and needs supersede the good of the American people.
They passed a bill that they knew the Senate wouldn't approve. That is where the dirty details get smoothed out and since no one was serious about compromise, it wasn't going to happen. They should have both been to the table in June and hammered it out, but they play games and will continue to do so at the price of the public. I know you don't mind because you will continue to blame Republicans and others won't care because they will continue to blame Democrats, just politics as usual in an unusual time.
They loaded it with Green Deal pork. We need to concentrate on virus relief, not pork, which we all know, some will get in.
You haven't the first clue what is in that bill, you're just parrotting the talking points.
The Bill the Senate passed last time had a $29 billion tax cut for billionaires, so don't come here and whine about money for green jobs, contact tracing, and municipal workers, on the grounds that it's Green Deal Pork.
