I have, many times, tried to remind Republicans that when Americans suffer, it includes people from their party. Senator McConnell has a record of not taking action that would benefit the poor people of Kentucky. I stand by my record of advocating for all Americans.
I am sure that Senator Schumer has worked and voted against legislation important to Republicans that resulted in it not being passed. Senator McConnell has listed as his "proudest accomplishment," the most extreme case of obstruction in the history of the Senate, the nine-month-long blocking of Merrick Garland's nomination to be a Supreme Court Justice. I am not going to ask you to find an example that extreme to support your comments about Mr. Schummer.
Senator McConnell has suggested looking at lowering the income level of those being given a full Covid check. While that would only make a small difference in the total amount being paid, it can be argued that a person making $75.000 per year does not need as much as a person making $35,000. That seems like a fair proposal.
I have had the disadvantage of having worked with and for political appointees in Washington, D.C. from both parties. Only one of them lied to me. Only one of them acted in a way I found to be totally inappropriate, and he did so only once. And, I considered only one of them unqualified for his Senate Confirmed job. He appeared to have advanced dementia-related memory problems and needed "handlers," in public. At times he had to be reminded of the names of members of his staff. I have observed that people have strong disagreements over the importance of proposals, they may mistakingly misstate numbers, or let hype play too large a role. But, almost all of them care about the truth. The only proof I can find of someone "lying to us all," is someone who recently left Washington and no longer matters.
Peace.
