That does jack **** for the low and middle class people. Doesn't really help anyone making under like 150k. Def doesn't help anyone unemployed by covid.
For the very wealthy? Massive tax cut. Beholden to their big money donors in New York and Cali though.
SALT was a reliable cost of living adjustment to federal taxes. The states that want SALT are unsurprisingly the states getting fleeced by the federal government's unbalanced distribution of federal tax dollars back to the states. SALT shouldn't have been removed and over the long run it is going to create more problems and imbalances.

Not a penny to illegal aliens! My county has a lot of them, and my property taxes are through the roof to help pay for all their kids’ educations, ESOL classes, and free lunches. Illegals are getting enough from Americans as it is.

Every single thing the Democrats have done since Hillary lost has been done as a political calculation. Why would the livelihoods and lives of Americans in a pandemic be any different?

Every Democrat should be removed from office in 2020. Vote Republican.

Yes. There is a lot of blame to go around. Don't give a pass to the Dems just because Mitch is as bad as they are.

Do you remember the 2009 recession? Tea Party? Sequester? Refusing a second stimulus? Which party brought us those joys?

No surprise, the GOP bill didn't give away money to leftist run cities that have allowed these riots and looting, didn't give checks to illegals etc so of course the democrats blocked it.
Under Schumer, the Squad, and socialist Bernie's "leadership" the Democrat Party has gone TOTALLY LEFT!
Even loyal, lifelong, Democrats don't like what's happening!

BTW why would you be against repealing the Trump tax cuts in order to help pay for the relief in either version?
I'm good with that as long as we start taxing lower and middle income families more. It's ridiculous that 50% of the tax base pays zero federal income tax (in many cases getting far more back) and yet are eligible to receive government benefits. It doesn't have to be a lot, even 5% would be a huge boon to federal income.

The 30,000,000 (the purported 11 million is WAY LOW) illegal aliens already here better hope the Wall gets built, because MILLIONS more illegals coming here DEMANDING their "rights" will bankrupt ALL OF US!!
The Dems are hell bent on having all of Latin America and Mexico come here to "vote Democrat!" ENOUGH ALREADY!!

I think your average Democrat (not the current Antifa BLM anti-Semitic Dems who control Biden) must be dealing with some serious cognitive dissonance. They want this to be the party of unions, high taxes and a nanny state to tell them how to live, but instead they’re getting actual socialism, Israel (ie, Jew) hatred, hateful BLM and more. It’s gotta be tough to be a normal Dem, if there are indeed any left.

As for the same dynamic with Republicans, we have a nutty man leading the party, but his policies are all right down the exact middle and easy to stomach by all Americans not blinded by their unexplainable hatred of the man behind the policies.

If Americans could just focus on policy and not the cult of personality, this would be a landslide Trump victory in two months. But no, this election just comes down to Orange Man hatred, policy be damned.
