This is reductionist. There is a crowd dynamic here. Something needed to be done quickly. A minority of senators cannot keep waiting until they get what they want. Republicans would then blame the democrats for stalling the bill. GOP has become either stupid or plain evil. I have no doubt any more after events of the last one year.
- dantheman 6y agoWhat needed to be done? Backstopping unemployment? Making sure there is some funding for the medical establishment? This was the 3rd bailout bill, of many? They had time for 4 hours of debate, but then went for a voice vote so they wouldn't be on the record. This 2T bailout is going to go down in history as one of the most reckless things / or outright transfer of wealth that has ever occurred. It was bad legislation. Lastly it was dishonest -- calling a grant with conditions a loan is just a lie. People pay back loans, these will never be paid back.
- raz32dust 6y agoMy point is, you are basically saying, screw them all. That they are all liars and putting them in one big bucket. I am saying that a Dem majority would have gotten us a bill that was closer to what you want here compared to what he have today. And in this case, closer is better.
