The House has Passed Two Stimulus Bills. The Senate has not acted.

[candycorn]

Okay, have the Senate strip the pork out and pass a bill. Then let the conference committee hammer it out.

Great idea!
The day after ACB is confirmed.

Works for me. You thought I opposed her confirmation?

But they are coming into session to have hearings on a supreme court seat--which is important as well.

We don't need another stimulus bill to add to the $27 trillion plus deficit we have. We need people to go back to work.

Disney laid off 28,000
Airlines laid off 45,000
Regal Cinemas closed putting 18,000 (I think) out of work.
That was just in the last two weeks. Until we get a vaccine, few are going to feel safe enough to perform economic activity on a scale that we had last year before the virus struck. In the mean time... the cascading effects of lost sales tax revenue, lost revenue from travel, and lost revenue from the leisure sector are going to hurt cities and states.

Glad we agree.

Shouldn't both houses get together and hammer out a bill and then send it to the President?

sounds to me like its better to open the economy and fear the threat of less than 1% deaths or keep it closed and live with the deaths of millions of livelihoods,,,

The American people are not going to bail out poorly run Democrat cities. Clean up your own mess.

they did ..pretty much told the botox douchebag to go screw itself . the demands this douche wants, that has nothing to do with AMERICAS economy. and you demoncrats get right behind, like schumer, this evil, vile scum of AMERICA

sure. pretty hard to do when for the past 4 years congress, demonrats, have only promoted hatred for AMERICA

One would think that is the way t would work, but with Pelosi that is all but impossible

Pelosi and the Democrats did their job. You and I (to be truthful) may not like it but all the House or Senate can do is pass legislation. They did that. Twice. The Senate is doing nothing. So your post is simply not factual.

how did this douche do its job? by putting shit in a bill, that has absolutely nothing to do w/covid. and then put blame elsewhere? thats just like being--set up!!!

 

[WTF19]

congress is full of hatred. who in their right mind would bother sending anything back to them, when it was a joke, like the douche, to begin with?

Harry Reid tabled 400 bills while he was the Senate Majority Leader, I said back then that he could do this and if the tables were turned, they had no one to blame but Reid.

It’s sad that the two leaders in the House and Senate are not leaders but petty partisan hacks. The House has a lot of BS in the bill and the Senate needs to look at it and make changes where they want and then compromise. We live at a time when partisan assholes need to be voted out, left and right.

Are you really this uninformed??
How it is possible you don't know the Republicans have increased and accepted two compromises to Pelos, but she keeps raising the anti??
How could you not know that?

Really? What bills did the Senate pass?

You are trolling, and therefore, as usual, should be ignored.
The premise of your whole posting in this thread is "I am ignoring 100% of all actions taken by my side, and everything they are doing wrong - and only keep talking about what I see the other side is doing wrong.

A tool.
A sheep.
A shill.

You are a fantastic example of what is wrong with American politics - and exactly why despite in 2016 the legislative branch had less than 20% approval rating yet over 95% of incumbents won anyway. Because NO ONE critiques THEIR side. So the same shit keeps happening over and over and over.
Congratulations for being a prime example of it.

Your tantrum is noted.

I'm not a Democrat but I am a liberal I have called part of the Democratic party the "looney left" about 4 times on this thread alone. So fuck off.

The reason Nancy doesn't pass a single function bill is because she probably cannot do it because there are a lot on the looney left who oppose such a thing. AOC is one of them if you want an emblem of whom I'm talking about.

The House has passed 2 covid relief bills which sit un-acted upon in the Senate. Either bill could be taken up, marked up, chopped up, and sent to the Senate floor tomorrow. The R's in the senate do have the votes. They can do this. They choose not to.



The way our system works is that one house passes a bill, the other side considers it and votes on it. If it passes, if there are changes, a conference committee is appointed. They hammer out differences. The product of the committee then goes to both houses for consideration. If it passes both houses...it goes to the President.

My opinion is this...There is plenty the President wants to get done so, politically speaking, the Senate that is controlled by Republicans could put those things into the bill. They won't do it because I don't think the Senate really wants Trump to win personally. Otherwise it's a very easy thing to do---use one problem to solve another.
Thats just my opinion.

Anyway, the Senate could take up either of the bills the House sent them and strip everything away except what they want passed. It could happen in a few hours. They just won't do it. So, again, Where is the Senate?

I can see this thread.
And what I see, and everyone else CLEARLY sees... is that you ignore the answers people give you, and just keep repeating yourself.
What was sent to the Senate is impassable. It is a garbage bill that Pelosi KNOWS has no chance of passing.
Think of it this way - you have a neighbor. Let's say there is a creek that runs between your two properties. The creek keeps flooding both of your yards. You approach this neighbor about fixing it. You know the cost is going to be $X. Your neighbor says great... I will put together a paper for us to sign to pay to get it fixed. You get the paper and they added more than 20 times the money needed and want you to agree. You say no. This proposal has all kinds of things that have nothing whatsoever to do with the flooding.
But you NEED to get the flooding fixed, so you even agree to pay more for these other things, but cannot agree to the outrageous expenses they list. HE REFUSES. So you come back again, this time agreeing to even more... but no way will you agree to pay 20 times the cost which include ridiculous things. HE REFUSES AND HE BLAMES YOU FOR NOT GETTING THE FLOODING FIXED.

And here you sit - in this thread. Agreeing with the neighbor.

go live your demonrat brain washed world and hide until you die. that way you will be safe--maybe. revenue lost because of demonrat run cities and states choose to promote the hatred and mentality of a pre-k child. rebellious. and until you stand up for your rights, they are going to continue to take them. so go hide

I understand people will be reluctant to travel to a degree, but the remaining states lifting lockdowns would go a long way.

Meanwhile, we're a nation of laws and government that operates by passing bills. What bills has the Senate passed? Can you try to focus on the question instead of profanity? Thanks in advance.

Some of it is federal. As I understand it, the CDC isn't allowing cruising. That isn't a state issue. The upshot is that the travel that is involved in Cruising is much more than the cruise itself. You can't sail from Galveston, TX to Alaska for example unless the ship is re-positioning. So you have to fly to Seattle or San Francisco. Likewise you can't get from Seattle to Mexico. So it's not all states issues.

Until there is a vaccine, there isn't going to be a high comfort level about mass economic activity. And the resident right wing conspiracy loons will do whatever they can to create havoc there as well.
