Thanks, Nancy!

Yes, Nancy Pelosi is the problem

Why couldn’t she just accept the ‘relief’ plan for at most a third of the needed money to distributed largely at Trump’s discretion and also create a liability shield so employers can be sued for exposing worker?

Democrats didn't want a deal before the election and now Republicans don't want a deal.

I feel the need to point out that 1) Republicans were demanding a liability shield for employers 2) Even as Pelosi and White House reps negotiated almost up to the election, Mitch was being pretty clear that nothing of substance would through the Senate

Good. That should be a part of any COVID relief package. I'm glad Republicans are demanding that.

Because you like the idea of being forced to choose between COVID and unemployment? Or you think having no effective mechanism to force businesses to follow public health guidelines is great for pandemic control?
