The package in question is a Covid-19 stimulus, period, whose purpose is to help businesses and individuals whose situations have been turned upside down by the pandemic.
It is not a taxpayer bailout for Democrat politicians whose gross fiscal mismanagement has bankrupted their cities and states -- that's between them and their voters, not them and every taxpayer in America -- it is not a taxpayer infusion of mad money for teacher's unions, nor is it the taxpayer's gift to illegal aliens who aren't even supposed to be here.
Your ilk has virtually zero respect for the hard earned money of "other people," as is evidenced by your complete lack of hesitation when it comes to padding a bill with unrelated, politically motivated spending.
Had Pelosi been negotiating realistically and in good faith, the stimulus would no doubt have soared through the Senate, been signed by the president and even now, that stimulus money would be in the hands of those who so desperately need it.
There is absolutely no argument for Pelosi's rejection of the partial stimulus proposed in the meantime that would relieve those in need in a timely manner.
Oh, yeah, that's right. She said it herself on national television: "I refuse to allow those in need to receive checks with Trump's name on them."
There is no sane, human argument you can make that justifies Pelosi's allowing pure politics to deprive Americans in need.
She is essentially holding those citizens hostage to her political agendas, and that is despicable in every way, shape and form. By defending her actions, you, by extension, are despicable as well.
