GOP senators give Democrats' $3T relief bill a cold shoulder

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

WASHINGTON — House Speaker Nancy Pelosi unveiled a more than $3 trillion coronavirus aid package, a sweeping effort with $1 trillion for states and cities, “hazard pay” for essential workers and a new round of cash payments to individuals.
The House is expected to vote on the package as soon as Friday. But Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has said there is no “urgency.” The Senate will wait until after Memorial Day to consider options.

“We must think big, for the people, now," Pelosi said Tuesday from the speaker's office at the Capitol.

“Not acting is the most expensive course," she said.

Lines drawn, the latest pandemic response from Congress will test the House and Senate — and President Donald Trump — as Washington navigates the extraordinary crisis with the nation's health and economic security at stake.

Until lots of us are dead they wont be satisfied.

Between the GOP and the virus, I am surprised everyday I make it.

More children are being infected, but investigating Hunter Biden is more important. .

5. The big problems will start this winter and next spring

Most banks are offering 6 -12 months of payment deferral on all loans. That means people who can't afford to pay their Bill's will not immediately show up as delinquent. Which means the number of people behind on their mortgages or car payments will be artificially low.

Once defferal periods end, there will be mass delinquencies being reported. Then the stock market will plunge. It'll be 2008 all over again. Property values will drop and people will walk away from homes they haven't made a payment on in a year.

That's why we need to get in front of this now. Nancy is right.

6. 33-million Americans are out of work. That number is not going down any time soon.

Homelessness and starvation, or relief funding?

It’s only money.
