Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) told the Associated Press that health care must be at the “top of the list” in the next coronavirus rescue package.

The Republican leader said Congress should focus on correcting any shortcomings in the just-passed $2.2 trillion aid bill and rely on health care experts for solutions to “wipe out” the virus.

Said McConnell: “There will be a next measure.”

He would never go for it unless that was part of the deal. Evil motherfucker. I can't even say what I am really thinking right now unless I want a visit from the Secret Service.

Since that's the only reason some people ever seem to do anything good.

P.S., please bail out the United States Postal Service in the next bill. It needs it more than wealthy corporations do, and its services are pretty essential. Maybe consider repealing that law requiring the USPS to fund retirement plans decades in advance for employees who don't even work there yet.
