It's more than just that, it is the practical economic aspect as well. Businiesses used the PPP to keep employees on payroll and hire them back. That money is long gone, and business has not come back due to the prolonged shut down.

People are out of money, businesses are out of money and not spending, Which will cause a new round of layoffs and prolonged recession, and election time, we will be in the middle of a new round of layoffs and economic maliase.

The Dems know this, and they want it, why do you think this is the first stimulus bill ever that the Dems are not onboard with. The Trillions to states is a smokescreen, they know they wil never get it, they don't want a stimulus now.

But they will be all for it the day after the election

Yeah, it's a vicious cycle. Gov't needs to get out of the way, let people manage their own health and safety related to Covid, and quit acting like white-knights for this widely overblown "pandemic".

There's also the possibility that they don't want the stimulus because Trump isn't letting them tie in a shit-ton of pork into the deal.

Makes me wonder if GEOTUS could enact a shutdown in some way...

GETOUS: "Oh, so you say only SAY you want what's good for our great citizens, but when push comes to shove, you only want it if it helps YOU and your CRONIES get what you want? That's not what our gov't should be about. If you want to continue running it with full-blown corruption, then let's just shut it down. No pay to congress while not in session, etc..."

Both houses could pass a bill by this time next week that's JUST another stimulus check, based on the cash the President is said to be sitting un-used in an account. Nothing is stopping them from doing, except Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer.

It's always this.

We really need a no riders amendment.

If that results in the government rarely managing to ever pass a bill ever again after that...

GOOD!
