I thought money bills had to originate in the House.
Never mind, who pays attention to the Constitution anymore.
The Senate will take a House bill that’s already been passed — probably having nothing to do with any kind of COVID-19 relief — and amend it as they see fit. Once it passes the Senate it usually goes to a conference committee where the competing versions of the bill are amended into one bill. That’s unlikely to happen, though. Pelosi will tell her trolls in the House to simply vote for whatever the Senate passes.
Nobody pays attention to the Constitution any more.
Nobody cares about spending money we don’t have, just print up another few Trillion. Long live the Wehrmacht Republic. Inflate our way out of debt.
Our neighbor has been on permanent vacation since March and his wife is a school teacher. The road goes on forever and the party never ends for them. The party lights are on at their pool twice a week and they bought a huge ski boat. He “works from home”. All of his clients are on lock down, medical facilities. Somehow someone has to go to work.
The local GP clinic is withering on the vine. Only people that are really sick or hurt are going to the doctor. I wonder if that trend will stick. I cut my finger badly and needed stitches, called and got right in to see the doc and they acted like I was a long lost friend. That is how slow it has gotten. Most docs are taking it as a vacation opportunity, some are concerned about layoffs. Yup, layoffs of doctors and nurses and clinic staff. I’m not shedding any tears but we need a viable medical system.
It did. They passed their bill two months ago.
