I must be missing something here, but I don't understand why the Repubs in Congress are so dead-set against aid to state and local gov'ts. It would seem counterproductive for forcing state & local gov'ts to cut back essential services like police, fire, and emt, since this would hurt a lot of Repub-controlled government entities as well. In addition, it cripples the vaccine distribution, because they can't afford the people and services to do it. Can someone explain the logic of this stand?
My first concern is the lions share of any aid to 'local communities' will go to democrat mis-managed cities like NYC..who is already asking for "aid".
