Of course I am you sad fuckwit the link you posted was a trash opinion piece that is two years old. California is a massive driver of industry and has twice the national GDP of any other state.

Senate passes Biden's $1.9 trillion Covid relief plan after all-night votes

The vote was 50 to 49 on a party-line vote. The legislation is now expected to go back to the House for a final vote before Biden signs it into law.

This will keep businesses afloat for a little while longer while we are working our way out of this covid economic mess.
Lets face it, most Americans will pump that $1400 right back into the economy. where given the multiplier affect will keep it bouncing around for a while.

And that was their one shot at any sort of “unity” that Biden campaigned on.

Everything else will be cockblocked. Guess it’s good that this is all they’ll manage to pass. Harmless on the grand scale. Useless, pork filled waste, but harmless, and they needed a thing to point to when making their BIG claims of saving everything.

At least they shot their load with this instead of immigration or guns or vote “reform”.

Gridlocked administration for a while moving forward.

Put a smile on my face, that’s for sure. My wife and I have a Thai restaurant, with about 60 seats. Haven’t been open for dining for almost a year, surviving on carry out. The PPP grants were a godsend.

The PPP grants that the Democrats for months repeatedly blocked funding for?

The Republicans are the do-nothing party unless it lines their or their sponsors package.

Thankfully someone cares enough about the people to give them some help.

One thing is true, their messaging was better than the republicans. Pelosi spent the better part of 2020 blocking and obstructing almost everything while blaming the right, and it was effective. Sort of.

Too bad most of that almost 2 trillion dollars isn’t even going to “people”.

But if this is what “people” wanted, then so be it.

It must be difficult to maintain this level of sneering when someone actually does something useful.

Like

Pandemic stimulus checks
Unemployment benefits
State funding
FEMA funding
Health Care
Child Care
Testing and Tracing
Employee Retention Tax Credits
Rural Health Care providers
Education
etc. etc.

Honestly slick, they read the whole bill out on TV, did you not watch it or something?

Surely letting the fat orange fucker deduct his KFC buckets counts as "reaching out"?

Tax-deductible meals

• Lawmakers also included a provision sought by Trump, making the cost of meals a deductible business expense.

Problem is they held up doing “useful” things for most of 2020 because they had an election to try and win.

I’ve got no skin in the game anymore, but it’s been obvious for a long time that it was never about helping anyone, it was about politics. And it worked.

It really is as simple as that.

Bullshit. There was a bipartisan $908Bn relief bill ready at the beginning of December and Moscow Mitch blocked it.

PPP: Why Senate Democrats are blocking a small-business funding bill - Vox

“Democrats are blocking an attempt to give small businesses a $250 billion boost. But why?At first glance, it’s a surprising move, since Democrats support providing more funding to small businesses and workers experiencing severe economic trouble caused by the fallout of the coronavirus outbreak. But the answer is simple: Democrats want to use the leverage they have in Congress so that Republicans don’t just approve more money for small businesses while leaving out other programs that also desperately need more funding.”

Not to mention that the Republicans have a nasty habit of making these payments discretionary, i.e. they decide who gets them.

Which is what they did in the tax "relief" bill.

Thieving bunch of bastards.

2020 was a long year and this bill was at the end. There was damn near a whole year of Pelosi bullshit leading up to this, and the only reason she allowed it to get that far was the election and optics. Everyone knew she was being an obstructionist and she was starting catch media heat for it.

But yes, Mitch the Bitch fumbled the fuck out of it and it was a large part of why the GOP lost Georgia.

Keep trying to blame the Democrats for Moscow Mitch and GOP greed.

I'm sure there are trumpanzees on here that will swallow it.

This is why you lost Georgia...

No, this is why they lost Georgia.
