Bernie is demanding a vote on $2k checks

1) Sen Sanders: The House has passed a $2,000 direct payment for working people. It is time for the Senate to act...I'm going to object until we get a vote on legislation to provide a $2,000 direct payment to the working class.

2) Sanders: Let me be clear: If Senator McConnell doesn't agree to an up or down vote to provide the working people of our country a $2,000 direct payment, Congress will not be going home for New Year's Eve. Let's do our job.

It'll need 60 votes to pass, I think?

“ If Senator McConnell doesn’t agree to an up or down ......”

Turtle promising a vote is why Trump signed.

So the Republicans blew out the budget every chance they got, but on this particular item they’re going to prevent it and lose the election?

Even I find it hard to believe they are that idiotic.

Come on, man!

Pakistan’s transgenders need it MUCH more than US workers.

That’s what the GOP is all about.

I really don’t know what they’re going to do at this point.

Bernie is drunk with success after beating Trump on the $600.

Does anybody really care about the federal budget and deficit spending anymore?

Even Rush was stymied and can’t understand why the economy percolates while money is being printed ad infinitum.

The old rules of the Economy and inflation and deflation have seemed to evaporate. What line exactly is McConnell holding?

So why stop at $2000 per ?

I’m Old School. I don’t get it either.

Actually, China. Chinese taxpayers pay for the bribes for US politicians.

Mexico taxes its citizens and sends them to the USA.

Mexicans in America pull billions out of this nations economy and sends it back to Mexico. Without it Mexico’s economy would collapse in about a year to a year and a half. Were that to happen there would be a flood of Mexicans pouring out of that sh!thole the likes of which the world would never have seen. Of some 145 nations on this planet 143 of them have their citizens working here pulling billions out of this nations economy every years. You might be surprised to know countries like Britain pulls about $4 billion a year. Germany pulls out about $3.5.

We’re the worlds ATM. And they hate us for it.
