Senate eyes quick exit after vote on coronavirus stimulus package
By Jordain Carney - 03/24/20 05:56 PM EDT

Senators are floating a quick exit from Washington, D.C., after they pass a massive coronavirus stimulus bill that is being finalized Tuesday.

The expectation among senators is that once the chamber passes the legislation, likely on Wednesday, they will not be in session for at least three weeks.

Sen. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.), a member of GOP leadership, stressed that the decision is up to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) but said it was his expectation that the chamber would recess after this week.


"My guess is we probably don't come in next week and then don't come in the two weeks we're scheduled" to be on recess, Blunt said, adding that they would "use those three weeks to get ready for whatever is phase four."

Blunt said some senators could stay in town to work on additional coronavirus legislation but that "likely we're not in an active daily session."

I don't know about this being a good idea.  I'd wait until the other House passes it.

Well if they don't get rid of the liberal pork and pass it anyway I could understand wanting to make a quick getaway.

Trump said he wouldn't sign.  He has said that before.  We will see.  I hope he holds to his word this time.

Might be a good strategy to pass it and "get outta town".
Then the pressure will be on the House to accept it "as it is", or bear the onus for refusing to do so...

That could work...if the House Rats had any shame.  I am not hopeful.

At this point I would rather not see a deal. The Senate had it right, they worked through everything in the open. Now it's behind closed doors with Munchin, Pelosi & Schumer. Two out three who have no character.

We may be better off opening up our businesses again and taking our chances.

I read that Nancy backed down and is going to support the original bill.

Emergency legislation, passed in haste with the imperative of doom, real, impending, or imagined, is the most dangerous kind.

Better nothing until the measures are carefully considered in light of more data.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Consider how many Dems won't be getting their usual cumshaw from the Chinese, and it'll take a fortune to replace that lost revenue.
