Speaker Pelosi herself put it this way: 'This is an opportunity. Every crisis is.'
"Clearly this isn’t really about COVID. Democrats think they smell an opening they have wanted for years — to make Uncle Sam bail out decades of mismanagement and broken policies in places like New York, New Jersey, and California," he said.
"And so they've decided that no working family anywhere in America can get another cent, not one cent, unless they get to create a trillion-dollar slush fund for mismanaged states, completely out of proportion to pandemic needs," he added.
"It's not about COVID. It’s not about a real reopening. It's about far-left ideology. They preferred for the jobless benefits to go down to zero unless they could pay people more to stay home," McConnell said, referring to continuing the $600 benefit. "Nobody gets a penny unless Texas and Florida bail out New Jersey — so this is where we are."
The Senate GOP's stimulus proposal totaled $1 trillion, while the Democrats' HEROES Act would cost between $3.4 trillion and $3.7 trillion.

He should have added Kentucky to that statement.
Yep, they want Wisconsin and Indiana to bail out Illinois, They want Pennsylvania to bail out New Jersey, and Florida to bail out New York. And when the bail out works once, they will keep spending expecting that it will keep working. States will be like a kid with fathers credit card. Wisconsin will get tired of being good while Illinois spends like a lottery winner’s ex-wife.
The democrat cities and states are going to be in terrible hurt next year. Trump will have incredible amount of leverage over them.
*** PUCK FELOUSY ***
I am in Pennsylvania. We are likely to be on the begging end for a bailout, not a provider. The state budget here is a trainwreck and has been for some time.
i agree. no more fake “stimulus” handouts.
end the Lockdowns in the DemoNaziCommie-controlled states and let people get off the dole and back to work
I live in NJ and I hope he holds his ground!
This is Trumpian level politics.
I didn’t know Mitch had it in him.
Is he up for election this year?

Hello NJ from TEXAS!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
.
Just give another billion or so dollars to Mrs DeBlasio of NYC She still can’t and won’t account for the last billion her husband the Mayor gave her. But she did say something like “by any metric used the money was well spent “. She just won’t say what the metric is that she’s using or show any proof of how and where the money went. If her and Bill get on the federal gravy train there’s no telling how much they can pocket.
Pelosi didn't complain when Obama suspended 2% of the SSI tax.
I'm sure somebody has captured the video of Obama signing it, even though YT has disappeared it......
I think that sums up Texans' response and most likely Floridians' also......
Agreed, FRiend. Dem state Gov and Dem Louisville city mayor have sat on their thumbs and let protesters turn my beautiful hometown into a warzone. If he's said anything about it, I haven't seen it.
Atlas ping. (Part I: Non-Contradiction; Chapter X, Wyatt's Torch)
The idea was that Colorado should be penalized for its success in order to bail out the rest of the country.
So, run out Pelosi’s clock and then clean it
Pres Ford refused to bail out NYC when it went bankrupt.
Democrat’s HEROES Act LOL the Heroes are those of us getting through this IN SPITE of Democrats and all the extra crap they are piling on the new flu virus. I hope very soon God yanks the rug out from under Pelosi while she is wearing heels and the rest of them too! (trying to use nice words but maybe you understand my just anger at them making a bad situation much much worse for so many and involved with the killing and deaths of many unnecessarily of which I personally know at least 4 people.
