Posted on Fri, Mar 5th, 2021 Sun, Mar 7th, 2021 Republicans Have No Good Reason for Voting No On Life Saving Covid Aid Over 520,000 people have died due to Covid-19, but every single member of the self-styled “pro-life” party has so far voted against the Covid relief bill. What could they object to that would justify the imminent, ongoing destruction of our country? In fact, a majority of economists polled by Reuters said they expect President Biden’s Covid aid to return the economy to its pre-COVID-19 size *within a year,* and the bill Democrats passed is largely based on Biden‘s January proposal . It offers financial relief to struggling Americans, ramps up vaccination distribution, helps small businesses, and offers support for teachers and schools. Sadly, this is exactly why elected U.S. Congressional Republicans are 100% against it, even though many Republican mayors support it and 70% of all voters support it. Senate Democrats conceded, for example, cuts to the weekly unemployment insurance supplements to try to get Republicans on board. Democrat Joe Manchin of West Virginia was cuddling up to Republican Senator Rob Portman‘s idea to “cut enhanced federal unemployment benefits off earlier than most Democrats want,” as Senate Democrats seek to find consensus with the entire Republican Party and at least two of their own members. Potentially good news is reported by Heather Long during the ongoing negotiations, “Sen Dems say they have reached an agreement to extend enhanced unemployment through SEPTEMBER at $300/week. The deal would also make $10,200 of unemployment aid NON-TAXABLE, a huge relief to millions facing surprise tax burdens.” As we witnessed during Obama years, elected Republicans deliberately and actively work to undermine the U.S. when they are not in power. Michael Grunwald reported in his (excellent) book “The New New Deal: The Hidden Story of Change in the Obama Era,” on “the Republican plot to obstruct President Obama before he even took office, including secret meetings led by House GOP whip Eric Cantor (in December 2008) and Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell (in early January 2009) in which they laid out their daring (though cynical and political) no-honeymoon strategy of all-out resistance to a popular President-elect during an economic emergency. ‘If he was for it,’ former Ohio Senator George Voinovich explained, ‘we had to be against it.'” In 2009, it wasn’t an ideological objection, it was a strategy of obstruction – EVEN WHEN IT HURT THE COUNTRY AND HER PEOPLE. And the same holds true now. Their objections centered – as they claim to now, as yet another Democrat tries to stem the damage from the last Republican president – around “spending” and “pork.” See if this excerpt from Grunwald rings a bell: “Boehner turned to the $815 billion stimulus bill that House Democrats had just unveiled. Boehner complained that it would spend too much, too late, on too many Democratic goodies. He urged his members to trash it on cable, on YouTube, on the House floor: ‘It’s another run-of-the-mill, undisciplined, cumbersome, wasteful Washington spending bill … I hope everyone here will join me in voting no!'” Flash forward to today, and it’s: Republicans objecting to spending and Republicans opposing the House’s $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief package because of two transportation projects that they say would have politically benefited Democrats leaders Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi. But guess what: Those projects are no longer in the bill read more Posted on Fri, Mar 5th, 2021 Sun, Mar 7th, 2021 An Earthquake Rattles The GOP As Biden Republicans Are On The Rise Pollster Stan Greenburg has found that President Biden has led to the rise of a new group within the GOP of Biden Republicans.
