he's been relegated to shytposting in tlr with the other curmudgeons

I've had him blocked for years. I'm sure my centrist views upset him. But he's Canadian and obsessed with American politics. Ironically, he may be a part of consultant class he rails against.

Here’s the final deal most likely. No stim checks.

Here’s the final deal most likely. No stim checks.

Another round of stimulus checks is like $250 billion. Considering the fiscal cliff that's about to happen, so dumb not to put it in there...

But man, more PPP? If McConnell is so focused on targeted measures, he should support the Restaurant Act

Yeah hasn't the PPP rollout been a cluster-fukk? Considering the SBA wasn't really equipped to properly oversee distribution, and most actual "small" businesses have had massive road blocks to access it I could see why McConnell would be fine with that, it's the perfect out for the GOP IMO.

That liability is bullshyt. I mean look at those Tyson managers making pools to see how many employees get covid.

A bipartisan group of senators will introduce a broad coronavirus aid framework on Tuesday, a significant breakthrough after months of failed negotiation. But it’s just the first step toward Congress finally approving a new round of aid.

The legislation would provide $908 billion in aid and also shield businesses from coronavirus lawsuits for a few months to allow states to develop their own liability reforms. The proposal includes $160 billion in state and local aid, $180 billion in additional unemployment insurance and $288 billion for small businesses. It also has $82 billion for schools as well as $45 billion for transportation, according to a draft reviewed by POLITICO. It also includes money for health care.

It will be introduced on Tuesday morning by Sens. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.), Susan Collins (R-Maine), Mark Warner (D-Va.), Bill Cassidy (R-La.), Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.), Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), Angus King (I-Maine), Mitt Romney (R-Utah) and Maggie Hassan (D-N.H.), as well as House members. Separately, some other senators have held bipartisan discussions about a solution.

Still, the newest measure is no lay-up, and several congressional aides said the likeliest route to a new round of aid is through Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Congress has not enacted a new significant round of aid since April.

McConnell and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer have both called for more coronavirus relief, but GOP senators said if there is an aid package, it’s unlikely to be attached to the spending bill due by Dec. 11. That means it’s still uncertain whether Congress can actually clinch a new law before the end of the lame duck.
