if the Democrats actually had the hardon they claim to have for strictly following Senate rules, then ACB would be impeached by now.

It doesn't have no chance of passing. I don't believe that Manchin and Sinema would vote against it and kill the rest of the bill. I think they would vote for it.

Its a symbolic vote that would fail in 15 minutes. We already know where congress members stand on $15/ hr. Why are you using this purity test on house progressives over a vote that's doomed to fail? What does it accomplish?

The parts subsidizing businesses are "Extend Paid Family and Sick Leave: ~$50 billion", meaning compensating businesses for extended paid family and sick leave for the duration of the pandemic, and "Provide Additional Small Business Support: $50 billion", aside from $92 billion for health insurance subsidies The state and local aid is probably necessary under the current circumstances, but IMO the government should take on as many responsibilities from state and local government as possible, leaving only things like repair of local roads. People living under local governments that waste taxpayer dollars shouldn't be left to die and their children shouldn't be left in underfunded schools. But that would deny liberals' entertainment in seeing red state death, and they love their SALT tax exemptions galenanorth has issued a correction as of 18:34 on Mar 3, 2021 |
