During a speech on the Senate floor on Tuesday, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) panned the Senate Republican coronavirus relief proposal for not meeting needs on “safe elections,” among other things and criticized the “poison pills” that will “never” get the support of Democrats like the bill’s school choice program and corporate immunity.
Schumer said the GOP’s proposal “is completely inadequate, and by every measure, fails to meet the needs of the American people, with no money for rental assistance, nutrition assistance, the Census, safe elections, and so many other things. The bill, amazingly, will do almost nothing to help state and local governments that have already been forced to cut a million jobs since the pandemic began. This bill actually goes backwards from the last Republican proposal. It does not even allow states to use existing relief funds to cover lost revenues.”

Well SchumerIdiot, let’s all be honest here, shall we....I mean geez, anything that the Repubs or Trump puts forward that is not a Leftist DEM pushed bill is and will be considered and deemed a ‘poison pill.’ Go figure, huh?!
As it should - because those terrified jokers were preparing to give away the store.
“let them eat cake”.
Guess letting minority children escape failing government schools and becoming successful productive adults who are less likely to buy into the Democrat lie that Republicans are keeping them down is a poison pill from Schumer’s perspective.
Them, and they must continue the indoctrination.
Mr President,
Another reason you should have Ordered AG Barr to Prosecute Schumer for making Criminal Terrorist Threats against a Sitting Supreme Court Justice.
Evidence, that every now and then, the Republican’s are in possession of a spine.
If we had an honest press the rats would never win another election
We don’t even have a functioning public school system here. Options for children to get schooled include private schools (fewer than normal, full, and usually quite pricey), home education, inter-district transfers (rarely granted, few functional targets, parents must provide transportation), home education (always legal, unrestricted, and unregulated), and relocating to a functional school district. Without a lucky scholarship, parents without significant economic resources get few options beyond home education, a daunting prospect for those with difficult or exhausting work schedules, limited English proficiency, or clashing personalities.
Given the reality of a lack of functioning schools, whatever school-choice provisions exist in this bill sound essential even if surely inadequate. Nevertheless, the Republicans should prepare to pass nothing whatsoever rather than cave to Democrat demands. We have an enormous budget deficit and a staggering debt. Congress should balance the budget even now immediately.
If Congress passes no further spending bills, then the federal bureaucracy shutters at the beginning of October. The Republicans should use this situation as leverage. “The President will keep the federal government closed for the remainder of his Administration, including the entirety of his second term, unless we save money and do good for the American people. So therefore, let us slash some pot of mandatory spending, pass the school-choice law, and pay for some fraction of previous discretionary spending. Otherwise, the bureaucracy stays shuttered.” And hold it so until the debt vanishes.
The kosher prophet of the government god does not want you, the child’s parents, to decide which school to attend!
No, no! You MUST attend government-run public schools, where your child is a dollar sign of profit for the local school administration, and a dollar sign of earnings for the teacher unions, whether they are qualified or not!
Rotate the teachers between schools.
Year 1 middle class
Year 2 lower middle class
Year 3 low income
Year 4 high income
It is silly to hold up the Senate relief bill over school choice.
Is this supposed to be a bad thing?
In another relief bill, federal aid to states might be made repayable to Uncle Sam unless parents can get full credit for real property school taxation paid by themselves or their landlord for private schooling under state law.
I filled out the census on April 1.
corporate immunity”
This one is just as big. The rats don’t want litigation protection. The slip and fall lawyers are among their biggest contributors. The covid lawsuits could make the Tobacco settlements look like a Kool Aid stand.
Denying poor minorities a better education is not something Schumer should be hanging his hat on.
Let’s see, Schumer saying, “completely inadequate, and by every measure, fails to meet the needs of the American people..”
Sound exactly like your impeachment effort there, Chuck?

You want to help people. Let them work Chucky boy. Tell your mayor and gov friends to open things back up. This is a self inflicted issue.
