Senate GOP crafting wishlist for next coronavirus package
By Alexander Bolton - 05/13/20 06:00 AM EDT

Senate Republicans say that Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-Calif.) new $3 trillion coronavirus relief package is dead on arrival in the upper chamber, but they are assembling ideas for a package that could pass this summer.

While Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) called for a “pause” last week on new coronavirus legislation, rank-and-file Senate Republicans acknowledge there is growing pressure to respond to the House Democrats.

One Republican senator who requested anonymity to comment on internal discussions said the “pause” posture will be politically tenable for only so long.


“I think it’s viable for now. How long it remains viable is determined by what is going on in the country, what the ‘getting back out, going back to work, getting out of our homes’ begins to look like,” the senator said.

Stop the Wuhan Virus packages and end the shut downs. Americans will find a way to get back on their feet.

No more free money.  Allow America to return to work.

We are a light year down the road from where we were in January.  When this started, we had limited knowledge.  We now know enough to resume normal living.  The shutdowns are idiotic.  Dems want to continue shutdowns to continue to undermine the economy to take out Trump.  That should be enough to have them not receive a single vote.

GOP is a disgrace.  Focus on restoring the workplace.  PERIOD!!!
