Snake Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Senate Democrats on Wednesday blocked action on an emerging deal to prop up an economy devastated by the coronavirus pandemic, paralyzing the progress of a nearly $2 trillion government rescue package they said failed to adequately protect workers or impose strict enough restrictions on bailed-out businesses. The party-line vote was a stunning setback after three days of fast-paced negotiations between senators and administration officials to reach a bipartisan compromise on legislation that is expected to be the largest economic stimulus package in American history — now expected to cost $1.8 trillion or more. In a 47-to-47 vote, the Senate fell short of the 60 votes that would have been needed to advance the measure, even as talks continued between behind the scenes between Democrats and the White House to salvage a compromise. The failure to move forward shook financial markets and threatened an ambitious timeline set by the Trump administration and leading Republicans to move the rescue package through the Senate on Monday and enact it within days. In voting to block action, Democrats risked a political backlash if they are seen as obstructing progress on a measure that is widely regarded as crucial to aid desperate Americans and prop up a flagging economy. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/22/world/coronavirus-updates-world-usa.html?action=click&module=Spotlight&pgtype=Homepage#link-42bc69ff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racer254 Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 These politicians are a disgrace. The only stimulus agreed upon should be one that is just a straight check to the individual taxpayers of the US. Nothing else. Fucking dickheads are doing the same as the last 2 packages, lining their own pockets and the pockets of their friends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
