House approves $2.2T COVID-19 relief bill as White House talks stall
By Mike Lillis and Scott Wong - 10/01/20 08:11 PM EDT

House Democrats on Thursday approved a massive, $2.2 trillion package of coronavirus relief, lending political cover to party centrists in tough races while putting fresh pressure on Senate Republicans to move another round of emergency aid before the coming elections.

The vote arrived only after last-ditch negotiations between Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin on Thursday failed to yield a bipartisan agreement — and it sent a signal that the prospects for such a deal before Nov. 3 have dimmed considerably.

The tally was 214 to 207, with at least 17 Democrats opposing the measure, including a surprisingly large number of centrists who were furious that Pelosi had staged a vote on a bill with no chance of becoming law.


Every Republican voted no, saying the spending levels were too high and the funding targeted certain programs unrelated to the coronavirus crisis.

The legislation has no chance of becoming law for the time being.

Is there anyone who didn’t think Pelosi was acting in bad faith? That’s who she is.

But when they go home, they won't have the payouts they needed for the election.  Out of $2.2 trillion, consider how much of that would end up in Democrat candidate campaign funds.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

Create a financial crisis,and then blame the Republicans as you try to steal money from the federal reseTrve to pay for your mistakes so you can THEN take credit for easing the pain you created.

Typical Dim operation.
