Agree, the Democrats would like there to be a deep economic disruption so they will do whatever they can to prolong it and make it more painful.
 
fake fucking news

The GOP threw in a bunch of garbage that would never stick and the bill rightfully got shut down. The GOP obviously playing politics in a time of need so they can have their headlines saying "See, the dems are making the American ppl suffer".
 
Democrats writing their own obituary. If they think the victims of their lack of action and delaying tactics to further their partisan agenda is doing them good, think again. A good number of those losing jobs and businesses closing are Democrat voters. Let us see if they see the Democrat politicians in a positive light after they lose their jobs permanently and the businesses they work for close for good. Then, add the fact those people won't have monies to buy groceries, pay rent, pay for gas, pay for medical insurance which they would have lost. Oh, they will all be very pissed and guess at who?
 
Here are just a few things Democrats are holding up the Coronavirus Relief Bill for:
-Corporate Board Diversity
-College Debt "relief"
-Election Auditing
-Canceling the debt of the Postal Service
-Same-day voter registration
-Requiring airlines to offset their emissions



But wait! There's more:
-Pay Equity
-Funding for community newspapers
-Free internet
-$100,000,000 for NASA's environmental restoration group?
-Mandatory paid sick leave for every single business
-hiding the citizenship status of College Students from the Census Bureau

From what I understand I'd probably turn down the bill as well.

The language on the bailouts was vague enough all the crony capitalist friends of the senators could get away scot free, and the money for Americans language wasn't good enough.

Dare I say it Pelosi actually made a good decision for once. I hope they keep denying it until we get rid of all the language protecting these welfare grabbing megacorps.

This is 100% about the current bill being a handout for corporations.

emocrats raised objections to the Senate Republicans’ bill throughout the day, with Schumer saying it had “many, many problems” and would benefit corporate interests at the expense of hospitals, healthcare workers, cities and states.

The failure of the measure to move forward sent Democrats and Republicans back to the bargaining table. The speaker of the House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, said that Democrats in that chamber will begin crafting an alternative bill.

Schumer said more money was needed for community health centers, nursing homes, masks, ventilators, personal protective equipment and aid to state and local governments.

On the Senate floor, a visibly angry McConnell accused Democrats of obstruction.

“Even if Democrats reverse course tomorrow, the vote they cast today will almost certainly cause more Americans to lose their jobs and more seniors hard-earned retirement savings to literally evaporate,” he said.

Lawmakers were mindful that a failure to reach a deal on Sunday could batter already reeling financial markets on Monday.

But Democratic Senator Joe Manchin said that would not rush Democrats into a deal they do not want.
