Why The Pelosi Wuhan Virus ‘Deal’ Is A Near-Total GOP Surrender For Blue-Collar Entrepreneurs

Friday night's deal includes every Democratic wish except taxpayer-funded abortion and not a single Republican proposal. Those will come later, we're told. We're always told that, and it almost never happens.

Held between a 'rock & a hard place' / 'bent over a barrel' etc. - Nonetheless, I'm pulling my hair out w/ this GOP trend of acquiescence... The sausage making process (Pork) seems to benefit the antagonists here, as the normal negotiational give & take would mean pandemic response inaction - of which we can't afford right now... Shame on the Dems for leveraging in such a manner; ostensibly, lives are in the balance here...

WASHINGTON, DC — Washington politicians appear poised to fail the country once again, agreeing Friday evening to a one-sided and partisan coronavirus bill disguised as compromise. It’s not a shock to any conservatives in Washington and probably isn’t surprising to Republican voters either. They’re used to betrayal. But the suffering men and women who run America’s small and mid-sized businesses might have hoped they wouldn’t be abandoned in a D.C. “negotiation.”

Which provisions in the bill do you think hurts small business?

 

The art of the deal lol

 

Yeah I'd like to know what all this pearl clutching is all about as well. I have a feeling it will somehow benefit the top percent disguised as something else. Another Trojan horse compliments of the GOP to funnel money to the top.

 

That is a good question.

I even had a hard time deciphering the opinions of the Extreme RW Blogger who wrote the piece in the OP.

Gotta love such an "impartial" take.

I am really not sure what the point is.

Are people actually surprised that "Washington Makes Deals"?

 

My guess is the employer portion of the payroll tax wasn’t rescinded and there is funding for all medical facilities capable of providing testing (which would include Planned Parenthood). Their wish list of action to drown the federal government.

These type of articles are cut and paste so the reality on the ground doesn’t matter. Same old garbage and the headline tips us off to that. Extremists are going to be extreme.

 

Very seldom do I find myself on the same side as you, but I'm puzzled myself about what the specific complaint is. The only thing I saw mentioned that might fit the bill as a specific policy is, "Small businesses, which would struggle to get those loans even if they were part of the package, aren’t getting the immediate relief a payroll tax-suspension would provide, despite the president demanding it."

Only a payroll tax cut hardly seems like a compelling issue for small businesses. How does this address a Wuhan recession?

This is only the House version of the bill, so of course it's a Democrat version and no doubt filled with Democratic nonsense, but it hasn't even been looked at by the Senate. This article is mostly incoherent or I'm missing some big point.

 

Actually the vile ghoul, Abortion Extremist Pelosi did sneak abortion back in which hung up the bill again.

No, The Coronavirus Emergency Spending Bill Still Hasn’t Made It to the Senate. Here’s Why.

Sneaky Abortion Extremist​

Gohmert released an in-depth statement on Saturday that helped clarify what had happened.

"There was a great deal more money in the original bill this week going to things that had nothing to do with our Coronavirus national emergency – including a provision that provided for federally funded abortions," he explained. "Our President stood firm on things that needed to be in there and to take out things that did not. As a good leader does, he left the specific language of the bill to the so-called experts in Congress."

Pelosi rushed the schedule and snuck in all sorts of lawmaking disconnected from the crisis and rushed the bill so that Republicans who might otherwise object were forced to vote for something they had not read. Sound familiar?

Some of Sneaky Pelosi's provisions that would actually hurt workers. Under the bill, workers would get "up to 10 weeks of wages at the bill's mandated 2/3’s rate as 'public health emergency leave' instead of receiving workers compensation because workers comp is non-taxable though employer paid leave is taxable. That provision hurts the worker.

Pelosi is trying to stuff leftist legislation into an emergency bill, and then blame Republicans for hesitating to support it.
