I actually think - for ONCE - the Senate Republicans are doing a good job at holding the line on spending.

For almost four years, Republican leaders have rallied behind the president on issues

Really?

This stimulus is all politics. I'm okay with Trump calling for it and GOP members of Congress stopping it. It's a win-win.

The government does not spend money efficiently and any bill will be laden with pork. We are better off with nothing if they have given in enough to get sufficient Democrat votes to pass it.

For the first two years with both houses under GOP control, the only thing they aided Trump with was tax cuts.

This one time, they are right.
We’ve spent enough money we don’t have.

Correct.
We need another massive trillion dollar package like a hole in the head.

Every time they say “trillion” it means another $3,000 from every man, woman, and child in the country.

I agree but is this the new standard or are they only doing it to oppose Trump?

They want to pass a small targeted bill. I am for that, if it has to be done at all.

Americans are HURTING. This is the one time to accept the spending, for Americans. This isn’t a repeating cost.

Friggin’ lame excuse not to cooperate with the President.

I’m thinking it’s a smart move to offer it and let Nancy and the Dems trash it instead of the Repubs doing it.
Handle it right and it increases the chances of a second term and keeping Biden/Harris out, holding and maybe increasing seats in the senate and possibly taking the House back.

He who lives on pure principles, against an enemy that has no principles, dies by those principles....no matter what the movie may have said...
