Brutal: Pelosi's Terrible Answer About Why Democrats Keep Blocking Needed Rescue Funds for Small Businesses
Townhall ^ | April 17, 2020 | Guy Benson Guy Benson

Posted on 04/18/2020 11:32:23 AM PDT by yoe

[snip] Republicans are responsibly requesting a standalone replenishment of this pot of money, which is understood by virtually sentient observer as urgently needed, right now. At least (22 million Americans) have been laid off within the last month, due to the pandemic. Democratic leaders look at all of this and are choosing to play games, attempting to shoehorn other spending into this simple, clean, immediately-required action. When pressed on this harmful gambit by a journalist, Nancy Pelosi offered a (messy, barely-coherent) response:

everyone in congress should get ZERO paychecks until EVERY SINGLE STATE IS OPEN.

And the press.. should be declared non-essential and lose their jobs for the duration also.

THEN watch how fast this ends!

That has nothing to do with this article, but...

I read that SF city officials moved a bunch of homeless into a newly setup housing arrangement where all their needs are taken care of, in order to "protect" them from getting Covid-19. Unfortunately, there was a breakout of Covid-19 and many are now ill. They would have been better off staying in outside encampments! They now have 70 cases of Covid-19 there out of 340 homeless.

Predicting Nancy and Joe will not be interviewed by news outlets in 18 months. Exercise equipment failures.

Notice SHE says not opening Congress.

WHY haven’t the Rs ‘reported’ for duty so as to help the nation out of this terrible struggle?

Or are only ‘Ds’ ‘eligible’ to report for duty? Remember JF’nKerry......

This is of course anecdotal. A family friend is a technician at a dealership. The dealership laid off most of its staff and drastically cut hours for those who remained. I did not know, but when your hours are cut you qualify for partial unemployment. This guy admitted he was getting very little work when he went on unemployment. He said the past two weeks business has returned to near normal, and they have been extremely busy. He said he is “flagging” enough hours his pay is back to near normal, but his hours are still cut so he is still getting unemployment. Got to love the government.

Nice idea, but the only way for it to Constitutionally happen is for Congress to vote for it—and then it could only take effect after the next Congressional election according to the 27th Amendment.

Well, y’know, this might the only chance the Democrats get to grab a bite of the new (borrowed from our descendants) cash flow that has suddenly opened up. Democrats seem to want to put into action virtually every scheme they can imagine to burn up government doles, and they can imagine a lot.

Cloward-Piven on steroids and in overdrive approaching warp speed.

Truth be told, the two uber-wealthy poop stains known as Nancy and Chuck really don’t want small businesses to survive. They only want huge corporations that will play along and support their fascism.

I’ve never in my life seen elected reps so out of touch with America. We can make them all pay in November. Go out and vote like your lives depend on it. Because they do.

Nasty Pelousy accidentally revealed the secret to her sporadic appearances when she showed off one of the massive refrigeration units in her walled compound: the settings are just above freezing for the ones which she retreats to for rejuvenating her wax coating.
