Politics. The Dems are asking for over $3 Trillion, most of it pork by accounts I’ve read. Meanwhile, 50 million Americans are held hostage to the negotiations. The GOP should hold firm, but, they are (as usual) fumbling the PR. All they need to do is stand tall for the American people.
This isn’t to say I am for unlimited UBI, but right now it is election season and a very difficult spot due to the way we’ve chosen to deal with the virus.
