The COVID relief/stimulus legislation involves plans, budgets and details for 50 states, dozens of government agencies, multiple medical and social agencies, etc... It's a massive endeavor.
I'm interested in Pelosi's strategy of trying to get Trump to put money where his mouth is. I don't view political negotiations and back-and-forths as the problem with this country (they're an essential part of the process), and they're highly relevant to the political forum here at Mock.
Anyway.......in this case, Pelosi wants the same thing as Trump says he wants, namely $2,000 per person in individuals payouts instead of the $600 Trump's own party stood firm on.
And, if Trump can't get Republican congresspersons to agree to it (it's looking like they won't), she wants to minimize the chances of the bill getting vetoed, thus leaving Americans in need with nothing until Biden takes over.
I don't see how Trump's threat to veto the COVID bill hurts Democrats in any way. It was a gift them -- Trump contradicted his party's representatives and supported the Democrats' original request.
I said *forget* the pissing contest, not that it's killing our nation.
You support federal micromanagement of the states, I don't, because the federal government fully suports the elimination of state and national sovereignty, in favor of a globalist world government run by elite eugenicists.
The WEF website is corporate astroturf combined with networking aimed at cultivating/indoctrinating "leadership" in all sectors of society in the push for a Marxist/cybernetic technocracy, which is dangerously close to coming to fruition. Go on weforum.org and have a look for yourself. COVID-19 is part and parcel of the great eugenicist reset. Klaus Schwab makes that very, very clear.
