Stimulus & Bailout Watch Thread

[BaggerofTea]

Trump is desperate. This situation could destroy his chances at re-election. He's like do whatever it takes.

That to me is VERY CLEAR.

The situation on the ground must be dire for the Republicans to want to hand out money

 

[BaggerofTea]

Republicans watered down the bill twice to exempt everyone but families with kids whose kids already tested positive. From what I read.

So this is complete bullshyt on this part

And Democrats look like the centralist we thought they were.



How you gonna offer a proposal excluding the working class AFTER trump came out with the yang gang fire?

probably because trump is lying, and letting the senate republicans do his dirty work

Democrats say Mnuchin squeezed paid sick leave program

Last-minute negotiations between Democratic leaders and the White House have downsized the scope of a paid leave program for workers affected by the coronavirus outbreak, angering some Democrats who see it as a major concession to the White House.

The House on Monday night approved a slate of last-minute “technical” corrections to a sweeping aid package, paving the way for swift adoption by the Senate. But several Democrats and progressive advocates say changes pushed by the White House are actually significant revisions to the bill’s paid leave program, undermining one of their top priorities in the package.

“I think the changes the Republicans insisted on made this far worse,” Rep. Stephanie Murphy, who has pushed for far more expansive paid sick and medical leave provisions in the package, said in an interview Tuesday.

“The intent of the package was to provide workers the support they needed to stay home and prevent the spread of this disease,” Murphy said, adding that Democrats would push to restore the provisions in future bills. “We have a chance to take another swing at it. My hope is that we can get Republicans to understand the public health rationale.”

The latest version of the bill, which the Senate is expected to pass this week, includes a major change to federal paid sick leave and family medical leave policy for affected workers, a program long championed by Democrats.

The legislation initially allowed workers up to 10 weeks of paid leave — as part of the federal family and medical leave program — for three different scenarios: if they become sick or are forced to be quarantined, if they are caring for a sick person, or if they are caring for a child whose school or daycare has been closed.

Under the latest changes, however, there is only one category that qualifies for the extended family and medical leave: Individuals who are taking care of children.

Pelosi appeared to address the criticism from some in her caucus in a statement on Tuesday, in which she vowed to push for expanded paid leave in the next package.

“As the House develops our third Families First package, we are working to advance additional steps to expand the emergency leave mandate,” Pelosi wrote, laying out several provisions, including allowing workers who are sick to access longer term leave.

He trying to control a narrative and the Democrats aren't doing a good job of countering it.

It's never good to appear to the right of Donald Trump.
