Breitbart<\/a> posted an article today about Congress’ attempt to deal with the coronavirus epidemic. As usual, Washington is playing politics and not getting things done.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said on Sunday that she has decided to move forward with her own emergency coronavirus relief package.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pelosi spokes just hours before the Senate was scheduled to take a procedural vote that would lead towards a final vote on a bipartisan economic relief package. The bill would provide economic relief after the coronavirus epidemic ravaged the country\u2019s economy.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cFrom my standpoint, we\u2019re apart,\u201d she said<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Subsequently, Senate leaders decided <\/a>to delay a planned vote to 6 p.m. Sunday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said on the Senate floor on Sunday that he intended for the legislation to be bipartisan and aimed at helping the American people.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWhat we have is a compromise product which contains ideas, contributions, and priorities on both sides and which could become law as soon as tomorrow,\u201d he said<\/a>. \u201cIn other words, it\u2019s just about time to take yes for an answer.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

…Pelosi said that Republicans and Democrats are still \u201ctalking\u201d but that there is no need to meet McConnell\u2019s Monday deadline for a Senate vote on the coronavirus package.<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Senate Republicans and the White House have insisted that they will continue to push for the $1.6 trillion economic relief package, which would include $350 billion in support for small businesses and $250 billion for unemployment insurance. The package would also include direct cash payments to individuals around $1,200 per individual, with additional funds going to families with children.<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Politico\u00a0<\/em>reported Sunday that \u201cit\u2019s not clear how Pelosi\u2019s plan would work \u2014 committee chairs have been frenetically compiling ideas for a legislative package, but are not yet ready for legislative text.\u201d<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Senate Majority Whip John Thune (R-SD) said this weekend, \u201cThe Democrats are getting some of the things they\u2019ve asked for. They\u2019re getting what they wanted on unemployment insurance.\u201d<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
It seems as if Washington is functioning as usual. Congress will continue to work and get paid while many Americans lose their source of income because of the coronavirus. They are playing politics rather than doing what they can to help Americans in a crisis.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
