McConnell, Senate GOP declare House Democrats' $3T coronavirus bill 'dead on arrival'
By Jordain Carney - 05/12/20 05:46 PM EDT

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and members of the Senate GOP caucus panned the roughly $3 trillion House coronavirus bill unveiled on Tuesday, declaring it "dead on arrival" in the Senate.

McConnell, speaking to reporters after a closed-door caucus meeting, said Republicans would "insist on narrowly targeted legislation."

"What you've seen in the House, Nancy, is not something designed to deal with reality, but designed to deal with aspirations. This is not a time for aspirational legislation, this is a time for practical response to the coronavirus pandemic," McConnell said. 


Sen. John Barrasso (R-Wyo.), the No. 3 Republican senator, called the House bill a "payoff" to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's constituents, vowing that it will "never pass the Senate."

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) called the House package "dead on arrival."

...declaring it "dead on arrival" in the Senate.

Thank you Mitch.

Instead of wasting time on this garbage spend it confirming judges.

I don't mind admitting this one had me scared senseless.

It would have been the financial equivalent of handing a drowning man an anchor.

Oo! Oo! Echoes of the Reagan era reverberating back on Miss Nancy and the Dems! Delicious irony!

Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

Sure they may get a tweak or two but count on massive spending.  And if they pass the socialism someone will put red lipstick on it and say it brilliant.
