Democrats set up clash with GOP by pairing Covid relief with Ukraine aid

 Democrats and Republicans on Capitol Hill are set for a showdown over Covid-19 relief that threatens to hold up desperately needed aid to Ukraine as the country fights back against Russia’s invasion.

House Democrats plan to introduce a massive bill as soon as Tuesday that would extend government funding through the end of September – and include roughly $10 billion to help bolster Ukraine, according to two Democratic sources. But they are setting up a clash with Republicans over Covid relief money expected to be included in the sweeping package.

Negotiations will take place this week to try to secure a deal to pass the bill before a March 11 deadline when government funding expires. Lawmakers are expected to avoid a shutdown, but if a broad funding package doesn’t move quickly, they may be forced to pass another short-term stopgap funding measure.

One Democratic source familiar with the matter said Sunday that Covid relief money will be included in the package – a move that would dare Republicans to block a package that includes money for Ukraine. While aid to Ukraine is a pressing priority with bipartisan support, Republicans are widely opposed to more Covid relief money, arguing that a full accounting of already allocated funds is needed before there’s any further spending.

Strange co-vid is over, except to milk the America people out of more money and further stress the economy.  Take a wild guess as to how much of that money disappears, like so many trillions already have, into deep democrat pockets.  How democrats/Communists love control of a nations money.

Yesterday people were bitterly complaining gasoline was up to $4:00 a gallon, today reports are many are now paying $7:00 a gallon. Obama's gonna get his $10:00 a gallon gas for America yet!  It's not like people were not adequately warned this crap was coming.  At least take comfort this is so much better than Trump being in office, eh ? 

Perhaps the obvious is going unnoticed, the democrats know they are persona non-grata now and are in an all fired hurry to collapse the American economy before the next election.  Declaring martial law, and building a larger bunker, we could have emperor biden rule for a longtime.  Aincha glad that evil Trump is out of office?

The worst thing you can do to fools is let them have their way, times proves it into perpetuity.
