The Democrats control Congress, & Congress controls the Nations purse strings.

The GOP cannot spend squat w/o Nancy Pelosi approving it. This, and all past heists, are on her.

The 99% are only getting 28% of this money, and the top 1% are getting 72%, so why is Nancy and Chuck going along? I thought they are for the small people? They are DISHONEST DREGS!

Small people unite!

Of course, any bill has to also pass the Senate, and then be signed by the president. Who will you blame when they rubber stamp this big spending bill?

IT's a senate (republican) bill at this point. They can't agree on anything, so the Dems demands are not even in it. The Dems did pass a $3T bill a while back that would have helped working people but Moscow Mitch will not bring it to the floor for a vote in the Senate.

Oh? In what way? Why do you think the senate refused to vote on it?

BOTH are guilty, but the primary control of the purse lies with Nancy Pelosi. She is the #1 criminal in this....the Senate and President are only accomplices.

When will you admit its the top 1% vs. the 99% and give up on the illogical Red vs. Blue farce?

Real disposable income adjusted for inflation has been falling for decads, and yet the top 1% keep getting richer and richer and the income and wealth gap increases. Thus, your argument is illogical, and emotionally based, thus lacks intellectual basis.

Your mind is stuck in an emotional rut...fallen prey to years of operant conditioning.

LOL. So Nancy holds a gun to the Senate's collective heads and demands compliance? And then she turns the gun on Trump and forces him to sign it? Nope, they are equal co-creators. And, in fact, the Republicans are more responsible than Pelosi because they hold 2/3rds of the government right now. Nancy is incapable of getting anything signed into law without their full and active participation.

Now you're changing the subject. I don't disagree with this, but what does it have to do with "Another Democratic Stimulus Bailout"? Got too close to the truth, that 2/3rds of any stimulus bill will be the GOP's doing, so you decided to talk about something else entirely to divert from that fact?

Says the guy who thinks Nancy Pelosi is all powerful and the poor, pitiful Republicans are just accomplices to her evil ways.

Mitch McConnell pronounced the House bill dead on arrival weeks ago, before the last previous recess. You may have to ask him for an explanation as to why he would not bring it up for a vote when there was time to chew on it.

Personally I think he didn't want the Democrats in the House to get anything through for any reason, the Senate this year has done very little legislating on any bills sent from the House. Perhaps they were hoping that the economy would be turning around by now, due to Trump's (misguided, as it turns out) attempts to pry the economy open.

Now, however, the economy is still in the tank ... despite Trump's best efforts at killing us off ... and the virus has spread further than ever before (and equally as deadly as the previous peak) ... except now it is RAGING ALL OVER RED STATES SHOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER PROTECTED, that is, if their own (Republican) governors had not been licking Trump's boots the whole time.

What this means is, the Senate has it's back against the wall now, and while the Senatorial Democrats seem to have a generally common position the Senatorial Republicans are all arguing amongst themselves and can not easily come to a united position for a counter-proposal. At least that's how it seemed to be the last time I read or saw anything on it.
