McConnell hits brakes on next economic stimulus package
The Hill ^ | 03 31 2020 | Alexander Bolton

Posted on 03/31/2020 8:40:05 AM PDT by yesthatjallen

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) hit the brakes Tuesday on Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-Calif.) plan to move ahead with a phase-four stimulus package that would include major infrastructure spending and other Democratic priorities.

“I think we need to wait a few days here, a few weeks, and see how things are working out,” McConnell said on “The Hugh Hewitt Show.”

“Let’s see how things are going and respond accordingly,” he added. “I’m not going to allow this to be an opportunity for the Democrats to achieve unrelated policy items that they would not otherwise be able to pass.”

McConnell's remarks came the same day that President Trump encouraged Congress to pass a $2 trillion infrastructure bill as the next piece of coronavirus legislation.

"With interest rates for the United States being at ZERO, this is the time to do our decades long awaited Infrastructure Bill," Trump tweeted.

Whatever ideas that bitch has for economic stimulus you can bet it won’t benefit Americans. Screw her.

She didn’t get her vote fraud measures to ensure that Democrats never lose another election.

THAT’S what she really wants.

And those words describing her and what she should do to herself are not

too harsh. She and many of her democrat trash are just plain anti-

american trash. The people that support her and her party are below

pond scum.

Wait her out Mitch. She’s 80 years old with a 150 year old liver. She can’t last much longer.

Very good call, Sen. McConnell.
Let’s get through this virus and end the forced-depression with its mass-scale unemployment...first.
First things first.

we can hear Nancy Pelousy out on her boondoggle tax and spend ideas, later. Who knows, she might accidentally include a good idea or two? But, now is no time to stop anything other than the virus and the forced-unemployment.

Halt all new spending projects. Go through all of the current spending and eliminate the fat, fraud, and waste.

Occasionally (not always) the camera captures EVIL...the psychopath’s coldness...the no compassion face. When that slips by go to the words (lies). When both slip by go to the deeds. Sometimes they all slip by and YOU’RE raped or dead.

Pelosi (many times)

Her joyful daughter, “She’ll cut your head off and you won’t even know you are bleeding.”

Good! GO Mitch!

All if this is just a Dem goody-basket. I read that the Kennedy Center, which got $25 mil, thanks to Nancy, had hired a lobbyist to work with her. And then the Kennedy Center president simply fired the musicians - so they could go on unemployment and the Center could keep the money.

Don’t agree to anything unless every damn inch of the wall is funded.

Good on Mitch - I stopped slamming him during the Kavanaugh debacle and haven't had cause to start slamming him again.....yet.

He's been doing good overall and great on the courts.
