Congress Still Jacking Off Over Unemployment by 6IXSTRINGJACK

House Democrats have put forward a $2.2 trillion plan, but McConnell said the amount was too high. On Thursday, McConnell signaled that his limit is $500 billion.

A chief economist says Mitch McConnell expects Trump to lose the election — and breaks down why that means there will be no stimulus money until February.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell won't risk his position by forcing through a stimulus bill now, because he expects President Donald Trump to lose next month's election, Ian Shepherdson, the chief economist at Pantheon Macroeconomics, said in a webinar on Thursday.

To pass a big relief bill, Shepherdson said, McConnell would end up dividing his own party, since about 15 to 20 Republican Senators oppose a deal at or above $1.5 trillion.

But he ultimately wouldn't push Republicans to agree, because "splitting the party is death to the leader," Shepherdson said. He cited examples of the Republican leaders John Boehner and Paul Ryan, who also faced contentious splits within the GOP.

"There will be no bill of any size until after the inauguration," Shepherdson said. "Here we are, in mid-October, looking at money not flowing until mid-February. That means a real void for the economy. It means potentially some very nasty growth numbers."

But he said he didn't expect the two chambers of Congress to work together before then. "That means leaving something positive for Biden to start with, and that's not the mindset of Republicans in the Senate," he said.

The LWA payments which Trump authorized via Executive Order around the end of August, stating it should be $400 with Feds providing $300 of it?

WI has accepted the $300 per week, but has refused to include the $100 per week from the State. But they are withholding the funds, until the end of October - no specific date.

So that is an extra 2 months they have confiscated Federal funds directed to suffering citizens of the State, where Libtard incompetence and Lockdowns reign supreme.

Trump only has $44 billion to distribute to 50 states. Keep in mind it is for Fifty states. Too bad that ain't gonna work for Wisconsin or any other state.

It is almost funny how much Trolls want everybody to walk all over them, since they lie like a rug.

Technically and in theory, These fund are to be spread out all over 50 states.
But in reality these funds are really goping mostly to, in disproportionate allocation, to Libtard States, Run by Libtard Lockdown fevered Governors, who put all of their citizens out of work just for political gain or gamesmanship.

Some have expressed confusion about why this issue is pertinent, having spent their year in a bubble.

Democraps and other Libtards are desperate to shutdown the economy again, hoping to duplicate the Obamanomics recession. They have struggled to find excuses to Lockdown. They need to create Economic recession, high unemployment.
Trump has responded by working to provide economic relief to these citizen victims of Lockdown Libtards.
So Libtards are working to prevent these reliefs from getting to the citizenry, to prevent these funds from entering the economy.

Libtard Lockdowns need to continue until the Election.

In the alternate timeline where Biden wins, the Legacy Media will almost immediately stop talking about it and then it will slowly fall down the collective memory hole as other stories make people look the other way.

In our timeline where Trump wins, the Legacy Media will continue to lie about it and blow it way out of proportion, but eventually people are going to look around and face the reality that hardly anybody dies of this barely lethal virus and they look like a bunch of big, dumb, coward assholes wearing those masks all day long.

Trump win or lose, Mitch McConnell won't allow unemployment benefits to pass the Senate. If the GOP is in the minority after the election, the Democratic Senators will pass a law providing unemployment benefits in February 2021:

Repeatedly, Republican senators like Ted Cruz (TX) and Ben Sasse (NE) have said publicly they want a small stimulus that limits new debt. So when the White House offered the latest $1.8 trillion deal, McConnell made clear he wouldn’t be putting it on the floor.

McConnell says he will not put $1.8 trillion stimulus bill on Senate floor

Prospects for an economic relief package in the next two weeks dimmed markedly on Tuesday after Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) revealed that he has warned the White House not to strike an agreement with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi before the Nov. 3 election.

In remarks at a closed-door Senate GOP lunch, McConnell told his colleagues that any deal could disrupt the Senate’s plans to confirm Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court next week. Republicans have voiced concerns that a stimulus deal could splinter the party and exacerbate divisions at a time when they are trying to rally behind the Supreme Court nominee.

I'm finding it extremely hard to muster up the copious amounts of pity that everybody seems to have here.

Much more often than not, people have put on weight since April.

If you can't do the things that are going to save you from being in the .4% who are likely to die because of comorbitities, such as taking vitamins, eating a healthy diet in moderation and at least a bare minimum of daily physical working out, than you're probably going to die of all of those health ailments that you had before Corona Beer's stock price was destroyed.

And if you needed the radio and TV to remind you to wash your hands, you're gross and it's a wonder something else hasn't already gotten you in your sleep.

I agree.

If Biden wins we won't have a mass murderer in the White House. We'll have a coordinated national plan that will reduce the spread as we get to a true and effective vaccine release. 100s of thousands of lives will be saved, if not more, and we can spend the next 4 years repairing all the national and international damage without Dump (and hopefully the GOP) f*cking more sh*t up.

Or, if Trump wins and he doesn't kill himself from an overdose of covid cocktails, he'll run the table and kill off the remaining millions of Americans who can still die from the virus. Without victims to infect, it will effectively disappear.

Tough choice.

Incorrect. Mitch McConnell is blocking Covid-19 relief.

Trump wants to sign a huge new stimulus bill. It is the only way he can win re-election. On the other hand, Mitch McConnell does not want the Senate to pass a huge stimulus bill. I assume that Mitch assumes that Trump will lose and has already switched to the worse it is for President Biden the better it is for the GOP. What is poor President Trump to do ?

Mitch McConnell is not President of the Senate. The President of the Senate is named Michael Pence. Michael Pence can actually preside. Then if a Senator (say Democrat Charles Schumer) introduces a Mnuchin/Pelosi compromise bill, it can be debated (Pence need show no more respect for regular order than McConnell ever has). Then there will be a filibuster. VP Pence can declare the debate over and call a vote. This would be a lie about Senate rules. McConnell would object and the Senate would vote on the objection. The Democrats plus 3 Republicans would make a tie so Pence’s decision would stand. This is how filibusters are nuked. McConnell can be outvoted if there are three Republican Senators who do not want to break with Trump, go against public opinion, and lose their seats. Then there would be a vote. The Democrats and 3 Republican Senators and Pence could send the bill to Donald Trump to sign.

I think it all works fine. Pence can say no to Trump. It is only a tradition that Vice Presidents are servants of Presidents, but that is not a provision of the Constitution (as Jefferson and Adams might explain). It is possible that no Republican Senators would see any gain in breaking with Trump. It is almost certain that Trump won’t do this.

But I think it is his only chance of re-election.

If Trump already won, why has the Senate NOT passed the $1.8 trillion spending Trump wants? Because Mitch McConnell does not want President Biden to spend that $1.8 trillion.

A subtle power shift is emerging on Capitol Hill as Republicans face a possible future that might no longer include President Trump.

The shift has been most apparent in the dynamics surrounding negotiations on a new coronavirus relief package.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has sought to avoid a vote on a massive stimulus package that would badly divide the Senate GOP conference right before Election Day, even as Trump urges Republican senators to “go big.”

McConnell told Republican colleagues at a lunch meeting Tuesday that he warned the White House against a vote on a massive stimulus package before election day. He quipped that he knew his message that was delivered in a private meeting would get out to the public very quickly.

“He made his statement prefaced by ‘this will probably be on Twitter in a few minutes,’” said a GOP senator recounting Tuesday’s meeting.

A majority of Republican senators oppose a bigger coronavirus relief package, even as Trump pushes for one.

“Mitch understands his troops,” the senator said. “He’s made the calculation that it’s not helpful to bring it to the floor because it would show we’re not on the same page as the president. There would be a lot of Republican no's."

^ Wishful thinking.

They're not passing it because they are Republicans and Trump is not a Republican.

They're not passing it because Trump is using it as a campaign promise of sorts, and it's too much money... too close to what the Democrats want. Everybody on both sides has been politicizing this to the extreme before the election and predictably nobody who needs the help is getting it because they won't compromise. (Again, there is a group of moderates in Congress who came up with a fine compromise bill that has been entirely ignored since August).

A bill will eventually be passed after Trump is reelected.

It sounds like you are making a prediction. Remember the prediction of the tick tock of the cuckoo clock for Trump's impeachment and removal? That was stupid because there never was a deadline. The GOP controlled Senate would never-never allow it.

I don't think the GOP controlled Senate will pass Covid-19 relief this year. Who will make them vote for it between now and January 20, 2021?

For Covid-19 relief, there is a deadline. It is the electricity turned off. It is the car repossessed. It is the house mortgage foreclosed. But what is best about the deadline is that it all happens to President Biden, while Mitch McConnell can laugh and laugh some more about how he screwed the Democrats.

There is 90 days between October 22, 2020 - January 20, 2021. I think America will discover that Mitch McConnell is serious about screwing President Biden. In the next 90 days we will know how much Mitch hates Joe Biden.

I was surprised the Turtle cited Budget Debt s the reason for declining hte bloated Dem bill. Maybe there is hope from his corner after all.

The Cares Act, $2.2 trillion, was signed into law by President Donald Trump on March 27, 2020. Mitch McConnell and the GOP controlled Senate were very willing to pay because they believed Trump would be reelected with that money.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CARES_Act

Seven months later, Mitch McConnell believes Trump won't be reelected and Mitch does not want President Biden to get money that would make his first seven months in office a smooth ride.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Sunday she’s waiting for Monday to see if the White House gives a “final yes” to a coronavirus stimulus deal.

The speaker said the language was important because otherwise Trump could spend allocated money “any way he wants.”

If Democrats win the White House and the Senate and keep the House, Pelosi said she would not wait until next year to write legislation that could be passed without Republicans.

“The sooner the better — people need help right away,” Pelosi said. The talks ongoing are making the bill “bigger, better and safer” with retroactive benefits. Majority Leader Mitch McConnell prevented Covid-19 bills from being taken up in the Senate. Sen. Lindsey Graham, a South Carolina Republican now locked in a tight re-election battle, reportedly declared it “dead on arrival” before the chamber went on summer break.

(Again, there is a group of moderates in Congress who came up with a fine compromise bill that has been entirely ignored since August).

A bill will eventually be passed after Trump is reelected.

Do Right, Be Right. :)
It sounds like you are making a prediction. Remember the prediction of the tick tock of the cuckoo clock for Trump's impeachment and removal? That was stupid because there never was a deadline. The GOP controlled Senate would never-never allow it.

I don't think the GOP controlled Senate will pass Covid-19 relief this year. Who will make them vote for it between now and January 20, 2021?

For Covid-19 relief, there is a deadline. It is the electricity turned off. It is the car repossessed. It is the house mortgage foreclosed. But what is best about the deadline is that it all happens to President Biden, while Mitch McConnell can laugh and laugh some more about how he screwed the Democrats.

There is 90 days between October 22, 2020 - January 20, 2021. I think America will discover that Mitch McConnell is serious about screwing President Biden. In the next 90 days we will know how much Mitch hates Joe Biden.

After Trump has won, what would be the reason for Mitch McConnell and Trump to pass a Covid-19 relief bill, assuming the GOP won a Senate majority? Neither man cares about other people, except when those people can vote to remove them. After winning reelection in 2020, neither will have a reason to care for the next two years. The Cares Act passed in April to insure Trump won reelection. The Heroes Act didn't even get voted upon in the Senate because Mitch McConnell believed that Trump would lose and the money would then go to President Biden. Once Trump is safe in the White House for another 4 years and Mitch is safe for 6 more years, why would Mitch and the GOP Senators waste money on a bunch of poor white trash who are homeless, starving and had their pickups trucks repossessed by the bank? The GOP will let those losers starve.

All this assumes that the GOP continues to control the Senate in Trump's next 4 years. If Democrats get control of the Senate, Covid-19 relief will pass immediately after the election because the leftover GOP Senators will see that they might lose in 2022 and they will quit fighting against Covid-19 relief. By December, after all the legal challenges and recounts to all the elections, we'll know which side of the coin landed upwards.

Among the top concerns for an incoming Biden administration are the coronavirus pandemic and the economic recession. Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Secretary of the Treasury Steven Mnuchin failed to reach a deal on a stimulus bill before Election Day. Prior to election day, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell warned that such a deal might not be possible until 2021. Trump himself may also be little help. He already broke off negotiations with Pelosi at one point in October when such a bill may have bolstered his political fortunes; now he might see little personal incentive to push lawmakers to pass a stimulus bill—or for him even to sign one—if Biden will ultimately reap the rewards of recovery.

Are you thinking that Pelosi was offering voters $1,200 stimulus checks and the GOP was offering nothing, so the voters went with nothing? I’m pretty sure departing President Trump will be giving voters even more nothing for Covid-19 relief. The theory is that the worse it gets for American voters in 2020, the better the chances of reelecting Trump in 2024. MAGA!

As the back-and-forth for a new coronavirus relief bill drags on, Republicans are apparently furious with the Treasury Secretary's negotiation tactics.

If Mitch McConnell allows the passage of Covid-19 relief between now and Jan 20th then you are right. But I think he will instead reveal his intention, once Mitch lost his belief that Trump would be reelected, to make Biden a one-term President by preventing President Biden from getting any of the money Pelosi included in the Heroes Act for both Trump and Biden. Mitch does not care how much damage withholding relief does to Americans because President Biden gets blamed for it. Most Americans have zero understanding of who Mitch is. How could they blame a guy they aren't even aware exists? They will blame Biden. (I've asked many Republicans who Mitch is. Only the rich ones know that name. Mitch is very aware that he is powerful, yet unknown.)

So you're saying that Nancy P foresaw into the future that Trump would lose and set up a situation where no-paycheck-relief would be all McConnell's fault.

Sure.

NO. Mitch McConnell foresaw that Trump wouldn't win and because Mitch wants Biden to be a one-term President, Mitch did not pass any Covid-19 relief bills. Mitch could see that the Heroes Act would help both Trump and Biden. Since Trump would lose, why would Mitch pass a bill that also helps Biden? Even Trump is waking up to what happened. Now that Trump lost, why would Trump sign a bill that helps Biden? Just about now, voters will start blaming Biden, rather than Trump, for what is going wrong. Mitch and Trump will be pleased. They know voters are poor at targeting who is a fault.

If Biden was smarter, he would stay silent until Jan 20th, while he gets his people organized to run the government. Biden would be forcing the voters to understand that Trump remains completely in-charge, not Biden, until the 20th.

Biden should be getting accountants prepared, all in secret, to audit Trump's taxes. And lawyers to block Trump's pardon of himself for tax-cheating. That is the most straight forward way to end Trump's political career. Trump can't be the GOP nominee in 2024 if he is in jail. He won't even be able to tweet from prison.

Prospects for a stimulus deal fading in the lame duck

With Mnuchin out of the picture, there are still questions about to what extent McConnell will take the helm and negotiate directly with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, or whether Trump will be willing to sign any deal at all.

McConnell emphasized once again Monday that anything that passes, must be "targeted." Translation: "targeted" means "small amount of money directed toward the benefit of the GOP" but McConnell will stick with "targeted" because that word doesn't mean much of anything.

Just wait until a few million people have something legitimate to start burning shit down over.

In December 2008, Republican President George W. Bush approved a $17.4 billion rescue of GM and Chrysler because he didn't want the auto industry to collapse before Barack Obama was sworn in. "I feel an obligation to my successor," Bush said at the time. "I believe that good policy is not to dump him a major catastrophe in his first day of office." (Republican Senators vehemently opposed saving GM and Chrysler, as they now oppose the Heroes Act, but Bush was able to persuade a few to change their minds. With 100% of the Democratic Senators also voting, the bill passed into law.)

Flash forward to today. Economists broadly agree that despite the significant progress on a coronavirus vaccine, the US economy badly needs more fiscal relief. Federal Reserve Chairman Powell, who was named by Trump, is among those calling for Congress to provide more fiscal stimulus.

President Donald Trump could help millions of Americans by securing a major economic stimulus package that prevents a wave of layoffs and bankruptcies before Biden takes office.

Unfortunately, this transition is shaping up to be the most turbulent in modern times, casting doubt on the prospects for a badly-needed stimulus package and coordination on the national response to the pandemic.

"2008 is a good example of how this is supposed to work," said Eric Winograd, senior economist at Alliance Bernstein, now known as AB. "It's clear that isn't the pattern we are going to follow this time around."

If Democrats can gain control of both legislative branches, they could then push through a larger package after Biden’s inauguration. Indeed, according to Mark Zandi, the chief economist at Moody’s Analytics, a Dem-held Congress could not only see a multi-trillion-dollar stimulus package go through early next year; it would also potentially bring another one in summer 2021, too.

A double win for the Democrats in Georgia remains a big if, however. Should January’s run-off elections see them fail to take over the Senate, they will once more find themselves up against a Republican majority against spending big on stimulus.

Trump, refusing to admit that he has exactly zero support from any Democratic Senator, tells the Democrats to support Mitch McConnell's GOP Covid Relief Bill. Instead, Trump should admit that he has a great deal of support from Republican Senators. If Trump asked his Senators to support the Democrats' Covid Relief Bill, all the Democrats would vote for it and some Republicans. That Democratic bill would pass despite McConnell wanting it to fail. By the way, McConnell's Covid Bill doesn't have support from even Republican Senators. It is a stinking dead dog bill that will never pass. (Even if there were 100 GOP Senators, McConnell's bill will not pass IN THE SENATE!)

The worse things are on the first day of Biden's Presidency, the better McConnell likes it. To make things worse, McConnell will do what he can to derail Covid-19 Relief. Only Trump can stop McConnell by appealing directly to Republican Senators more loyal to him than to McConnell.

Because I am contradicting you, 6ix. You make false accusations against Democrats in general of voting theft that didn't happen and won't, but you won't believe in what is happening in front of your eyes, which is that McConnell is writing Covid-19 Relief Bills that won't pass. McConnell does not want any bill passing because he wants to harm President Biden. If some unemployed people get harmed by McConnell as collateral damage, why would McConnell care? He won't because the election is over. Four years from now, the unemployed of today won't remember it was McConnell who did it. If McConnell explained slowly and carefully and repeated the explanation a thousand times about what he was doing and why, about 99% of people still couldn't understand it. But McConnell doesn't want you to understand.
