CNN)Utah GOP Sen. Mitt Romney said Thursday that Republicans have struck an "agreement in principle" with Democrats on a $10 billion package to help US efforts to combat the Covid-19 pandemic, a breakthrough that could pave the way for new funds to help the United States' response efforts amid growing fears that critical resources are being depleted.

Romney, the lead GOP negotiator, told reporters the plan is "entirely balanced by offsets." He said the bill text still needs to be drafted and there needs to be a cost estimate from the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office before the Senate can vote on the matter.

I wish we could invoke the 25th amendment on this POS

Same bunch of Assistant Democrats that assisted with the infrastructure boondoggle bill, no doubt.

A city in NYS used CoupFlu money for snow removal.

Another is using it to pay local starving artists.

Bet some will end up paying for the Bills’ new stadium.

Just occurred to me that the trigger won’t release the hammer from half-cock.

WHAT COVID-19 pandemic?

If there ever was a COVID-19 pandemic it ended two or more months ago.

These crooks just want to keep spending non-existent money. Handing out public funds to cronies is what these people get elected to do.

Inflation is bad, what should we do? Oh I know let’s put another $10 billion in circulation!

[PghBaldy]

Unhelpful comment.

[BipolarBob]

What Covid 19 pandemic?

[marron]

Repubs must be getting a piece of the action.

Some patriots are questioning if unaccountable, unconstitutional (imo) federal funding for so-called CV19 aid is being used for things like Los Angeles County basic income experiment, also possibly Chicago pre-paid gas cards.

• LA County guaranteed income program begins accepting applications (3.31.22)

• Chicago to offer prepaid gas cards to residents amid skyrocketing gas prices (3.31.22)

In other words, election year stunts to help keep desperate Democrats in power imo.

The U.S. Senate seems to be completely disconnected from reality. Biden is bad, but I believe that many of this country's problems come from the Senate. Replacing all of the GOP senators should be a real goal, although they are only half of the problem.
