Schumer, Pelosi set to unveil 'Rooseveltian' relief package
By Alexander Bolton - 05/07/20 10:22 AM EDT

Senate Democratic Leader Charles Schumer (N.Y.) said Thursday that he and Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) will soon unveil a coronavirus relief package that he described as “Rooseveltian” in its scope and size.

“We need big, bold action," Schumer said in an MSNBC interview with Stephanie Ruhle, adding that he and Pelosi "are working very closely together on putting together a very strong plan, which you will hear shortly.”

“We need Franklin Rooseveltian-type action and we hope to take that in the House and Senate in a very big and bold way,” he added.

Schumer's remarks came in response to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s (R-Ky.) statement earlier this week that Congress needs to take “a pause” before passing more pandemic relief legislation.

Congress has passed nearly $3 trillion in aid over the past two months.

They think money can solve this. Worse, they think borrowed money we don't have will solve this.

These are the types who think they can solve the crisis of government-mandated social isolation with gratitude lists and mental health counselors.

They are trying to buy the election with "free stuff" only the rich pay for.

IOW, if you vote for the Rats you will never have to work again. Everyone will have steak every night, a new car every couple years, free housing in the best neighborhoods and free health care from the best doctors in the world. You name it, it will be free because only the rich will have to pay for it.
