Corona Virus, How Has It Affected Your Area So Far?

I did not prove you correct, you are just refusing to read the sources.

Listen, I get it, you hate being proven wrong most of the time, but that's ok. That is how you learn.

Let me ask you this: Did Cardin object to the unanimous vote to fast-track the bill? Can you answer that question truthfully?

Better question: Do you know how the Senate operate? Do you know about the procedures involving unanimous vote in regards to fast-tracking bills for passage? Do you know what 1 dissenting voice can do to stop the fast-track of a bill? Do you know what that 1 person is doing when they vote against fast-tracking the bill?

Before the Paycheck Protection Program formally launched last Friday, we knew two things: The rollout would be rocky, and the initial $350 billion wouldn't be enough for America's small businesses.

The state of play: Banks and government officials have been working to smooth out the process. On Thursday, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's (R-Ky.) attempt to pump another $250 billion into the program via unanimous consent was blocked by Democrats,

Edit: Bill currently stands to have $100b going to hospitals, $150b going to states/local governments. Dems are demanding that those numbers are doubled.

Democrats, who are proposing an alternative that includes billions more for hospitals and states.

McConnell subsequently blocked the Democrats' proposal to pass their bill by unanimous consent as well, and the Senate adjourned until Monday.

Senate Democrats' alternative also includes new money for hospitals, state and local governments, SNAP benefits, and community-based financial institutions that otherwise are unable to participate in PPP.

Vic go back to jerking off to CNN man, your posts today has made everyone on the site dumber for viewing them.

Edit: why bother anymore. This argument is going nowhere, and no amount of evidence will ever change your mind.

I've been making an *** out of you Vic before King even joined the conversation. Nice try though.

Certainly not when all of your "evidence" backs up everything I have said and nothing you have said. And certainly not when Moscow Mitch's own words back up what I am saying and not what your saying. But hey, you have gotten a new pet in Caerda. Make sure to feed him.

Hell, I even have Moscow Mitch's Twitter feed backing me up.

According to you:

That's why it's hard to talk to you. You twist everything into your own perspective. That is why, over the decades you and I have sparred against each other, I always say that you live in your own little world.

The point is, none of it should be bloating a crisis bill. Period. That ***should be standing alone on the floor on its own merits. But not right now.

Cannot agree with this more.
At the very best (never going to happen, but can dream) would be to get every single company with labor dependency on Chinese manufacturing out of China.

It's Show and Tell time.

Tomorrow morning, I’ll ask unanimous consent to pass standalone emergency funding for the hugely popular Paycheck Protection Program that is saving small-business jobs as we speak. As the rest of the CARES Act continues to come online, this key part is already low on funds.

Nobody thinks tomorrow will be the Senate’s last word on COVID-19. Other crucial parts of the CARES Act, like its historic funds for hospitals and healthcare providers, are still coming online and have not yet been exhausted. The PPP is where the lights are already flashing red.

If we want to act fast, Congress has to focus. There is no realistic chance that another sprawling bill which allocates half a trillion dollars to a number of priorities, even important ones, will be able to pass the Senate or the House by unanimous consent this week.

Ten million Americans were laid off in just the last two weeks. Tomorrow morning will likely bring another historic unemployment figure. This is urgent. If Senators delay this urgent paycheck support to insist on a broader bill, more Americans will lose their jobs unnecessarily.

I hope none of my colleagues object to my request for these urgently-needed funds. There is no reason why this bipartisan job-saving program should be held hostage for other priorities. Let's re-fund the only program that's already running dry and keep moving forward together.

And get this, if those big 3 are so important, why don't they make 3 sperate bills, so that way at least once the finally pull their heads out of their *** and pick a number, zoom, that particular angle at least is moving forward, they can go back to bickering about the other 2 points, but at least the one is making some kind of headway at providing relief for people in crisis right now.

Have you realized that he is talking about S.3554 yet? You know, the one who Cardin co-authored. The one that Cardin blocked.

I'm willing to let you stop talking about it. No point in furthering this conversation showing your lack of knowledge.

There is talk from Trump and others about defunding the World health organization and maybe even setting up a replacement, since this current one is obviously beholden to China.

Japan is also paying its companies to move out of China and either back to Japan or any other nation.

After this mess is over, a lot of other nations are gonna do similar actions and you know Trump is getting ready to pull some whupass out on them too.

Good thing I don't need that to happen since I was just provided with yet another source proving my original statements correct. But I liked how you completely avoided that point.
