If you’re wondering why the coronavirus stimulus bill isn’t passing, it’s because the Dems want more than $1,000 (I think they’re trying to get closer to $2,400) for each person and they want to make sure that the money earmarked for business goes to paying for those businesses payroll for their employees. The language is too broad(probably intentionally done by the R’s that wrote it) and could be used instead for the companies to do buy backs on their stocks or pay for other things not related to actually paying their employees. I have been seeing suspicious“Russian bot/Bernie is the only good person in Congress posts”on here and I just wanted to briefly some people on what the hold up is. Still working from home so I can’t take a full dive but I didn’t study political science for 6 years and work in politics for the pass 4 years to not try to explain why we have to stop making blanket statements about the Federal Government.

Dems also want to make sure that none of the businesses taking aid can layoff employees, and they want to get rid of the sliding scale the GOP wants on the money for each person. GOP wants to make it to where poor people get less money (like a lot less) and how much you get is based off your 2018 taxes. Didn’t have to file 2018 taxes or didn’t make $2500? No money for you according to the GOP. Dems want everyone to get the same amount regardless.

Another interesting development. Looks like the GOP also only wants to do a one time payment. Not monthly payments of even a $1000 person but one payment of $1000. Yes there are some Dems that need to be voted out but you have to acknowledge at the same time there are many Dems in the senate and House who are actually trying to get regular working folks real relief security during this pandemic.
