Pressure mounts on Congress for quick action with next coronavirus bill
By Mike Lillis and Scott Wong - 04/07/20 06:00 AM EDT

Lawmakers are facing mounting pressure to move to the next phase of coronavirus legislation, less than two weeks after passing a historic $2.2 trillion economic relief bill.

While the most recent round of federal funding was unprecedented in its scope and scale, the delivery of the aid to its intended targets has been hobbled by administrative and other logistical pitfalls, causing delays in distribution and sparking widespread anxieties about when the assistance will reach businesses, families and workers hardest hit by the swift-moving pandemic.

Those problems have unfolded just as President Trump and his public health team are warning that the next two weeks could prove to be one of the most trying stretches in modern American history, as the number of cases and deaths are expected to spike and governments at every level implement ever-more-stringent self-isolation measures, which have already devastated businesses large and small across the country.

Not if freedom loving American's stand up and shout "I didn't fight against the Commies in Korea, or Vietnam to give up American freedom to China now!" :patriot:
...so yes another pork laden unnecessary bill that our grandchildren will have to pay for.

It's past time to but the brakes on Gummint drones' spending.  I'm not happy with all the sops given to Democrats in the last bill, and another one is guaranteed to provide more of Pelosi's wish list.

My default position is a flat "No!"  Y'all have helped enough.

I agree. Fully.

Recall the real horror:

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

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.

NO!

The idea of "quick action" is to sneak in all kinds of non-COVID related items on the sly.

Will Mitch be able to resist this?

Not if he finds a way to benefit from it.  And he will.

Would someone mind telling me where is all this "mounting pressure" coming from?

The usual suspects, I suppose.

The ignorant sheep in the media.

The Rats are loving this crisis. They are pushing mail in voting like crazy. They are very happy to destroy our economy because they figure it's their ticket to return to power. Once they have control whatever they do the media will spin it as a "great step forward".

Trump has got to get a plan going to get the economy going again. The experts in this crisis have not served this country as well as they should have, especially Fauci. They have overstated the deaths, lack of equipment, and downplayed possible treatments. It may just be me, but I get the impression that they are really enjoying their moment in the sun. I'm just waiting to see how they respond when Trump says we can't kill the country to cure it.
