Negotiations have resulted in the inclusion of unemployment insurance and a huge increase to funds for hospitals in the latest version of the stimulus bill, according to two Democratic aides and one Republican aide.
The unemployment insurance benefits in the bill would give recipients 100 percent of their salary. The bill would also include at least $100 billion in assistance for hospitals in the form of loans, grants and other mechanisms.
Negotiators also removed the phase-in of direct payments from the original version, which means that lower income people would also receive $1,200, according to two Republican sources. The original bill would have given lower income people less money.
I won’t detail his history (you can look him up), but he is his own public shit show.
Though I can’t stand his politics, on practical non-dog whistle issues, he can be surprisingly pleasant, personable and practical.
But, we all know if you give him a microphone, he will say something inflammatory that draws attention to himself and panders to his base. Sound familiar??
At this point, have pity on us as we try to turn this state blue.
You did hear of the couple in Phoenix who ingested chloroquine that was intended for a fish tank… The man died and the wife is hospitalized. Neither had covid.
Is this not accessory to murder before the fact?
For transparency…I am not a lawyer.
Thank you Dan! How about you shaking the hand of every coronavirus victim on their deathbed to thank them for their heroism and sacrifice. Everyone will be happy when you will join the sacrificed on the other side.
This Lt. Governor isn’t merely saying explicitly what Trump is implying. He is, but more than that, his statements put in high relief what Republican philosophy (not conservatism, btw) has always been: Sacrifice your time, your health, your life for this abstraction called “freedom,” which you will seldom see yourself but a slim few others will enjoy. The pandemic simply unmasks the absurd cruelty of that deceptive philosophy.
