I agree three days isn't the end of the world. But the fact is, the senate democrats killed it on Monday, and the did so because they wanted funding for liberal projects, some (not all) of which have absolutely nothing to do with helping sick people - do you agree with this, yes or no? Requiring that companies have officers in charge of inclusion and diversity? $35 million for the Kennedy center for the arts?
You keep ignoring the Repubs. wanting $500B with no oversight. Why should the govern. spend $ w/o the people who are putting the $ into the system know where it is being spent.

Any bill being negotiated includes the wishes of both parties and some things get negotiated away. The diff. here is that you only focus on one side and blame the Ds. Pres. Trump even seemed to agree w/that by stating he didn't want a company to get $ and then buy back their stock.
