I’m for the relief, but I would have preferred it gone through Congress.
The Witch was not going to let anything go through congress.

Schumpelosi have completely overplayed their hand here.

Yep!
since when doe congress agree on anything good?
Only when it comes to screwing us over. I suspect that will happen soon, again.
Pretty much never.
Nope.
It was more better than expected economic data released today.
