Jesus has Pelosi aged from that photo.
Are Democrats retarded? Of course this is going to benefit corporations that employ a massive amount of people in this country. How the fuck do they think they got elected? I'm financially stable, but any delay at this point is just hurting people that need it. Many need it now, but even people that seem successful are going to start needing it next week.
Anyone not in the top 5-10% is going to start missing payments on everything in about 7-14 days. Just get it done already. Most Democrats don't pay a fucking dime in federal taxes anyway, why the fuck should they care how the money is spent?

I had 5K saved up when my salary was 15K/year in 2000. Why are savers punished?

Senate Democrats late Sunday blocked a GOP-backed $1.3 trillion coronavirus rescue package as five Republicans watched helplessly from self-quarantine, prompting U.S. stock futures to dive and sowing fresh doubt the parties can forge an agreement as the nation descends into economic disaster.
Democrats insist that President Trump and Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., are using the funds to put corporations ahead of families. The attempt to advance the legislation stalled in a 47-47 vote. Sixty votes were needed to pass.
Many Americans are facing unforeseen hardships after the coronavirus outbreak hit the country and temporarily closed businesses. The stimulus was championed by Trump, who said Saturday that the package was very close to being a done deal.
McConnell blasted his Democrat colleagues and accused them of being influenced by Sen. Chuck Schumer and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
"I want everybody to fully understand if we aren't able to act tomorrow, it will be because of our colleagues on the other side continuing to dicker when the country expects us to come together and address the problem," McConnell said on the floor.
Democrats risk being portrayed by Trump as politically bent on stopping him at any cost. Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, said the move by Democrats is "irresponsible and unwise."
"They are playing with fire," she said, according to the New York Times.
McConnell’s office said early Monday that three votes are expected later Monday after his remarks at around noon.
