Mnuchin agrees to "significant oversight"



NEWS - Mnuchin has agreed to “significant oversight” over $500B “Exchange Stabilization Fund,” per 3 sources. This is a major issue for Democrats, who called it a “$500 billion slush fund” with no accountability.

/2 Schumer also said the Democrats’ “Marshall Plan for hospitals” is “very, very strongly in the bill.” Democrats had been pushing for hundreds of billions more for hospitals & health-care providers.

Stop giving an inch to these crooks.

That's how they "negotiate".

Start with an utterly criminal position, then find a middle-ground where they can can still be criminal, but to a slightly less obscene degree.

Jail them. Then we'll talk.
