Good on Dems for not rubber-stamping this idiotic element of the GOP Senate's "stimulus" package. Relief should go to workers.

What I don't get is the Democrat add-ons to the bill like same day voter registration etc. What do any of those tings have to do with helping workers?

Senate Republicans proposed something ridiculous and unacceptable, so Democrats brought their own bill with a bunch of stuff Republicans wouldn't stomach to be negotiated away later

Horse-trading

It's the name of the game

Certain groups are willing to sacrifice others for their ideology. Don't worry though, They'll stand on the corpses to tell everyone it is for their own good.

Senate Republicans proposed something ridiculous and unacceptable.

None of your rambling talking points. No BS narrative about a bill passed while you were trying to figure out why the other kindergartners were laughing at you.
I want Republican proposals related to the COVID-19 Bill. Per the topic of this debate.

See: OP meme. This was what Dems objected to

They revised that bailout to include stronger oversight and the Dems supported it

The end

The Op is a pathological liar.
The Op's Meme is evidence proving he/she/it is a liar

Op's lies: The $500 billion in aid to businesses is a “slush fund” with no accountability and oversight.

Fact: All $500 billion in aid comes with reporting requirements, and different portions of the aid come with limited, narrow waivers that could be amended by Congress.

The Phase 3 COVID-19 Relief Bill is a bipartisan.
It has nothing to do with Senate Republicans proposing something ridiculous and unacceptable.

Try again.

American politics and economics, to be exact. And it's a game I believe should be stopped and thrown in the trash.

The only way to stop it is to add term limits and vote out the politicians playing the game.

I disagree; lobbyists would have too much power. Much more fundamental change is needed. Besides, the two major parties would just nominate more game players. We need to end the two party system without becoming a one party system.

Is that why the Democrat primaries have been postponed? It doesn't sound logical.

Democrats postponed some of theirs, Republicans have canceled some of theirs...

KylieClown lied again

KylieClown lie: The $500 billion in aid to businesses is a “slush fund” with no accountability and oversight.

Fact: All $500 billion in aid comes with reporting requirements, and different portions of the aid come with limited, narrow waivers that could be amended by Congress.
.
Section 4003 of the Phase 3 bill authorizes the Secretary of Treasury to “make loans, loan guarantees, and other investments in support of eligible businesses, States, and municipalities,”

These loans and loan guarantees come with reporting requirements (Section 4017) from both the Secretary of Treasury and the Government Accountability Office (GAO).

You can thank the Democrats for adding that Oversight to the Bill.

You should spend more time paying attention to those you seem to hate & receive not 1 but multiple sources of corroborating info instead of watching what Spin Faux Views Anchors tell you to believe, usually something that's meant to make Drumpf look good when he's robbing you blind for his own benefit, especially in this case, and make you end up looking like a total fool.

Btw chosanwan has been reposting my lovely original “Cetacean Needed” meme everywhere he sees now.

And as we see here in his replies to you: his imitation is the sincerest form of flattery

It’s the same playbook every time: (1) He asks for citations. (2) You provide them. (3) He immediately dismisses them as “biased” without reading them. (4) He moves the discussion into ad hominem territory while accusing you of doing the same.

Rinse and repeat.

Basically you've ignored every source I've cited because you have no rebuttal. I expect this from Republicans & Conservatives that have been exposed. You have no sources of your own to retort because I'm sure they're all right wing propaganda artists just like Fox. Also, there are no unbiased sources. Everybody has a bias. Maybe you don't know it. But Most of the media is owned by only a handful of Corporations. They all share some of the same sources and owners. If you don't believe the very Democrats involved in writing and passing the damned bill of legislation, then you must believe somebody. I'll bet it's the Republicans on tv or talk radio, it'sthe same thing. There are very few and far in between Neutral Independents like Jessie Ventura or Libertarians like Gary Johnson. You're so Ignorant and brainwashed of the Truth you don't even know what Trumps True, Real, Original family name is. "Drumpf", his father Fred changed it to Trump in order sound more American and Less German. That is historical fact. He was also arrested at a KKK Rally. And You don't have to like it. You don't even have to believe me. You can look it for yourself. It's called Research, and it goes further than Right wing media. If you don't want to, then You just have to live with it.

You're entitled to your opinion but not your own facts. You dont have to like it. You just have to live with it. Or you can be in denial. It doesn't get any harder evidence than straight from the Horses mouth.

My Facts are based on the politicians own words who wrote and passed the damn bill. It doesn't get any more direct than that. You can read it for yourself or you can continue to stick your head in the sand like a child throwing a tantrum kicking and screaming because you got owned.
