McCarthy opposes unanimous consent on $2T coronavirus response
By Juliegrace Brufke - 03/25/20 04:56 PM EDT

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) said he doesn’t believe the House should attempt to pass the Senate’s $2 trillion coronaviruses stimulus package via unanimous consent, arguing that it should be debated and members should be on the record with their votes.

“I know we're in a very challenging time, I know we have members who are quarantined, members who are battling the virus, members in New York City who could not travel here without 14 days, but I don't believe we should pass a $2 trillion package by unanimous consent,” he told reporters at a press conference on Wednesday.

Leadership in both parties have weighed the possibility of attempting to pass the bill via unanimous consent, which would preclude the need for members to travel back to the Capitol.

But if just one lawmaker wants to object, it would prevent the bill's passage under such rules.

I'm sure the Kennedy Center will be thrilled at the $25 million they're getting in this bill.  Despite the fact they just completed a $250 million
expansion six month ago.

"Sorry you're unemployed because everyone panicked over this virus...but look at the improvements e've made to our performing arts center"

 **nononono*

The Dems also managed to remove a provision to restock the national petroleum reserve.

There's still $75 million in there for CPB as well.

So what it's looking like is that Pelosi still got what she wanted...just a few million dollars less than what she was asking for.

This is good news.

Lets see what's in it before it's passed. The more we find out the greater the chance it can be changed. At this point what harm is there in another week passing before something is passed.

GOP Senators are demanding some fixes in the verbiage before they can vote for it in that chamber.  That would be a good time to strip out the voting provisions that could be construed to permit ballot harvesting.

If a medium size business (500 to 10,000 employees) takes the Treasury loan, they can't oppose any union organizing effort. Page 524.

Nancy Pelosi has added a $25,000,000 raise for Congress in the Coronavirus Bill.

This adds up to $46,728.97 per year for each of the 435 members of the House of Representatives and the 100 members of the Senate. Non-leadership members of Congress currently earn $172,000. This boondoggle will raise their pay to approximately $218,000 depending on how the raises are appropriated.

McCarthy is right, it needs to be debated and every single person on record on this.

If that's in there I'm a firm NO until it's removed.

Can you supply me with and actual bill number so I can look it up and read it?  I'm not sure which bill the links you provided above refer to.  Is it the Bill Nancy and gang wrote over the weekend or the bill the Senate is considering right now?
