Senate GOP starting to draft next coronavirus proposal
The Hill ^ | 6/30/20 | Jordain Carney

Senate Republicans are starting to quietly draft pieces of their next coronavirus relief package.

Republicans aren't expected to begin formally negotiating the fifth bill — or even make an official decision about if they need another relief package — until they return from a two-week break on July 20.

But GOP senators signaled on Tuesday that they are starting to brainstorm, and in some cases craft, pieces of what will eventually go into their initial offer, with Republicans expected to get an agreement amongst themselves before negotiating with Democrats.

Republicans crafted a similar process in March when the $2.2 trillion relief bill was eventually approved by the House and Senate. The House, where Democrats hold the majority, has already approved a new $3 trillion relief bill.

“I’ve already asked my appropriating subcommittee that does the health and education and labor appropriating to begin to put a package together that will ensure that we have more testing, that we continue to work on therapeutics, and we have the money we need to move forward with the vaccine,” said Sen. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.).

More massive raiding of the treasury in inter-generational plunder. We couldn't even come up with a few measly billion for the wall a few months ago.

Exactly how much are these MFers going to flush down the toilet?

This isn’t intergenerational as much as it is the full global/totalitarian dunding plan. All our generations’ liberty and health are going out with thia one and if anything it is obviously our elders at the top of the globalists’ kill lists.

Hope they remember to pack in enough cash for Cuomo’s legal team for his inevitable trial. He’s going to be facing about 20,000 cases of manslaughter for dumping the infected into nursing homes.

A bill can’t pass and get to the president’s desk without Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer taking credit for it.
