So, I guess the blue states, blue cities. blue schools and what's left of their police forces have to go without until she becomes more reasonable  or scared about the aftermath. Like I said, we're mainly dealing with COVID19 and the financial aftermath is still  yet to come.

So far, neither Mitch McConnel nor Mark Meadows has offered an alternative, so what does that imply?  Other than handouts to his rich buddies, it appears that Trump isn't interested in helping anyone -- not surprising for a Gilded Plutocrat.

She wants 2.5 trillion to cover all sorts of wants and needs and they're at 1 trillion for needs only. Fuck her, we'll make do on own until she comes around to our way of thinking or finds herself coming to grips with the reality a pending financial disaster and an economic upheaval on her hands.  So, other than social security payouts and medicare coverage and an ideological preference, what do you have in common with a power hungry, greedy stuck up rich bitch from San Francisco? You forget that Trump was a rich man who took a major pay cut and lifestyle change to become our President unlike Obama who lived pay check to pay check before entering office as a US Senator and got richer and richer as he was in office. America knows, it's only some Democrats that haven't come to grips with what Americans have been telling them about their party for years.

I saw the breakdown of the GOP and Dem bills. Here's a very brief overview. Note the GOP's lack of support for local and state government, but generous support of private business. Please note, this is tax money not business loan money. Unneeded but offered as a free gift by the GOP are liability waivers, and education money is primarily focused on in-school instruction, COVID be damned.

The Dems focused on people and keeping things afloat. I hardly call that a fuck-you issue.
