The next round of stimulus (#4123)

     A 3 trillion dollar bill from the House was passed yesterday that addresses more immediate needs of the American people. There is also help for state governments that are overwhelmed by the 33,000,000 new unemployment claims made in the last 8 weeks. As well there is help for our national postal service that we have had since the inception of our nation and is written into our national constitution. There are other measures in the 3 trillion dollar bill that have real impacts for folks like the mail in ballot option that needs to be federally mandated nation wide to help combat contacting the Covid-19 virus unnecessarily.
     The Heroes Act bill passed the House and will now be sent to the Senate where it will get no action that is representative of republican care for the working middle poor class. But it is a statement made by democrats in the House that working families are the heart and soul of America and need to be helped while bearing the brunt of this disaster virus perpetuated by trump and republican ignorance. The real champions of our American citizenry are democrats and although you would think that the American citizenry would be overwhelmingly behind this the republican spin machines are humming along at break neck speeds to spoil this obvious temporary salve.
     What will happen in the end, how long it will take is up to the pressure we put on republicans to support many of this House bills immediate needs, is that republicans will stop playing with our lives long enough to whittle this bill down and then take credit for it. We democrats could care less who takes credit for it, like trump holding up the checks so that he could put his name on them, as long as the bill gets to become law. Because it is all about helping the working middle poor class right now. The large corporations already have their help and now it is past time for main street to get theirs. If trump had been on the ball about this virus we wouldn't need to be in this position to begin with and now trump is withholding aid to those who are most effected through his gross negligence!
