fox parrot? i hate sean hannity. the only one i watch occasionally is tucker carlson, who like
me, regularly criticized republicans and praises liberals.

you’re the parrot here. not me. when do you criticize liberals or praise conservatives? when have you ever done
that? on what major
issues do you disagree with liberals? We’re all
ears wayne, go ahead and tell us which major issues you side with conservatives on?

Since you have so much experience in the private sector, you tell me how many Americans you think got furloughed in the last 72 hours?

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 must think i know. No one in the private sector 2 live with me ones working nurse 1 laid off dental office

This bill isnt going to prevent future layoffs lets hope it helps

35mil for the Kennedy might not have been need if Republicans didnt target planned parenthood or other non profits... who knows maybe both have been removed

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.

just in


Republicans right now are holding up COVID relief package because the unemployment insurance is TOO GENEROUS,

In a statement, Sens. Tim Scott, R-S.C., Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., and Ben Sasse, R-Neb., said that the bill could provide a "strong incentive for employees to be laid off instead of going to work" because some people could theoretically make more by being unemployed.

they continued. "If the federal government accidentally incentivizes layoffs, we risk life-threatening shortages in sectors where doctors, nurses, and pharmacists are trying to care for the sick, and where growers and grocers, truckers and cooks are trying to get food to families' tables."


really only big business who they want to give billions to.. would lay people off so the government can pay them .. the individual has no such power to lay themselves off
