Seriously the Democrats basically have Trump doing exactly the type of things they are running on and then block it...? Am i mis-interpreting this?
No, you’re not misinterpreting. These are people who are wealthy enough to weather the storm with only minor irritation. They don’t care, the letter in front of their name means dick. The current current condition of the state of California should be good indication of where Nancy Pelosi’s loyalties lie.
 
So if i'm reading that article right, the quote from Pelosi isn't that she doesn't want to give americans money now but she wants to target those specifically hurt by this the most and wanted not just straight up money but other ways to help as well. There is very little actual info on that article so i'll personally need to go find more information to really have a solid opinion on what is going on. My first thought though is that what Pelosi wants will take a lot more time and Americans don't have that kind of time unless Trump wants to suspend all payments on Rent/Mortage/Utiliites/ect.

She just wants to be different from whatever Trump does.
 
Well yeah, why wouldn't she?...after all, Trump is the ultimate reverse barometer.
I'm not even really in favor of bailouts, and just send a check type stuff... However, I find it so incredibly odd that her party is literally running on that type of stuff and she's like no. It seems like it would be such a crushing victory for socialism to say, see even the "far-right" Trump is having to do socialistic things to keep us afloat. I don't really get that part of it... I didn't have time to read up on her full proposal so maybe I am just missing things I don't know.

Hey, I'm not Pelosi fan either...and you can add Trump, McConnell, and Schumer to that list...they all deserve each other.

Well I think you and I both seem to kind of not like any of them. I just find it politically such a weird move, like they should have Trump basically doing everything they want, so I don't get why they would fight that...
 
Yeah, he and Elaine and Costanza made the show to me...never was a fan of Seinfeld...terrible actor/comedian IMO.
I found Elaine kind of annoying Constanza was really good though, Seinfeld I find funny as a comedian not much of an actor though.
 
I'm having trouble making the link load too. However, the last I heard was that republicans and trump were adding corporate bail-outs to any universal check proposal. Maybe that's the opposition?

my wife and I can use the $2000-4000, but we don't need it. Be nice if there was an option to automatically forward the money to making more testing kits available or getting more protective equipment for medical workers

From what I read (not sure it was factual) or an opinion, she wanted to go with tax cuts and was worried about people getting money who didnt need it. Only spent a few minutes on google looking into it.
 
Yeah, I couldn't find much reporting on this beyond that article Sly posted. So all I can tell is that she wants money to be targeted to those who actually need it, rather than just a flat number for everyone. I can see both sides, if so. If you target the money, it can be much more efficient--instead of giving $1000 to someone who can ride this out comfortably, you can give $2000 to someone who might need every dollar of that.. On the other hand, targeting it is slower procedurally.

She could be a spineless Bi ch.
 
Looks like it's for people making under 75k.....
