You should be writing or calling to the Dems in the house about this. It is heart breaking and if Nancy Pelosi was just a tad bit more concerned about the American people instead of getting a blow out, this may not be happening.
This is not one you can blame on Trump. The GOP has gone to table many times willing to negotiate and Nancy was probably to busy making blow out appointments.

Nancy prioritized bailing out the public pensions instead.
However … in the long run, they’re going to find out that while they can print money, they can’t print the economy. Production comes before consumption, not the other way around. Now the Fed has said they’re going to be okay with higher inflation. Going to be a real fun ride. Hang on.

You should be writing and calling the Republicans in the Senate about this. The House passed extensions months ago, but the Senate has been unable to pass anything. A Senate package would get the two sides (3 if you include President) to negotiations, but the Senate does not want that.

Did someone miss this news?
I don’t know. Let’s not forget that with some COVID-19 assistance, the Democrats would not vote for it unless abortion was a part of it. Yet, I did not hear any of this, “I have no words” bit.
They may have amended the legislation but even Joy Reid noted this. I’m glad it was, my heart ached.

That bill was never going to pass and the Dems knew it. The only reason they sent it on was to release statements about the Senate not taking it up so liberals like you can once again blame Trump & the GOP for something. But right now, today, the help is needed and Nancy Pelosi is on a break.
She thought trying to blast Trump over the USPS was important enough to interrupt their break but the fate of the American is not. Certainly getting her hair washed and a blow out was more important than the American people. Look what happened to the salon owner, she is getting death threats. Nancy’s behavior this week shows exactly how she feels about working (non working) Americans.

This is disgusting and sad. Does anyone know anybody affected in such a way that is looking for help? I could find something to give I think. I wish there wasn’t so much mudslinging in Washington right now. Trump has apparently been trying to get a deal across but it seems that everyone’s more worried about what little extra they can slide into bills rather than the meat and potatoes.

Our Federal Government in Australia has banned all evictions during this Covid Crisis. Is it a state thing or a federal thing there in USA?

This really isn’t a Republican vs. Democrat thing. Both parties (minus the few genuine leftists who used the Democratic party to get into office) are invested in turning the United States into a neo-feudal society. Evictions are great for that since real estate companies can hoover up foreclosed properties, redevelop them or just raise rents, and turn the speed of the neverending debt treadmill up another notch. It’s a bipartisan effort.

I know saving isn’t easy for many, yet l can see frugality and saving possibly having a resurgence as common values.
One would hope, but I have my doubts.I know saving isn’t easy for many, yet l can see frugality and saving possibly having a resurgence as common values.

It’s lucky really that the Third Reich and Soviet Union existed, because it means that millions of Americans no longer have to be critical of the system they live under.As compared to government ownership or control of property in a fascistic socialist state.
I’m sorry you feel that it was lucky those two systems existed.It’s lucky really that the Third Reich and Soviet Union existed, because it means that millions of Americans no longer have to be critical of the system they live under.
I think it is quite possible to be critical of the American system. I do it all the time. The problem is I’m typically debating with people who wish to take the US in a leftward direction toward those two you mentioned.

You reply it to me all the time, and I certainly don’t want the US (or anywhere else) to be like the Soviet Union or the Third Reich. I don’t think it would even be possible for it to become like either of those places.The problem is I’m typically debating with people who wish to take the US in a leftward direction toward those two you mentioned.

I’ve got a few friends that set their sites on buying foreclosure properties earlier during the pandemic. They have cash in hand and are waiting to see if a high foreclosure rate will make the properties inexpensive.Evictions are great for that since real estate companies can hoover up foreclosed properties, redevelop them or just raise rents, and turn the speed of the neverending debt treadmill up another notch.

Are you not the one who opposes free markets? Or have I misunderstood all this time?You reply it to me all the time, and I certainly don’t want the US (or anywhere else) to be like the Soviet Union or the Third Reich.
Difficult, but not impossible. The key is to oppose the steps that lead toward it.I don’t think it would even be possible for it to become like either of those places.
Would this be in the states where the shut downs are the most draconian ?I’ve got a few friends that set their sites on buying foreclosure properties earlier during the pandemic. They have cash in hand and are waiting to see if a high foreclosure rate will make the properties inexpensive.

I oppose markets entirely, “free” or otherwise.Are you not the one who opposes free markets? Or have I misunderstood all this time?
Soviet-style enterprise systems are only really functional for countries with a backwards agriculture and no industrial base. It allows a country to build up industry rapidly and converts the country’s population into wage labourers. It’s hard to imagine it functioning in a post-industrial country like the USA. Maybe the developed world could shift to a system like that of modern day China, but the planned economies of the 20th century are dead and are not coming back. The historical basis on which they came about has passed.Difficult, but not impossible. The key is to oppose the steps that lead toward it.

This is in Georgia, where attempts of local shutdowns were nullified by the govornor of GA. Through executive order he removed the ability of any local leader to enforce shutdowns or mask mandates. The govornor shut down bars and a few other businesses. But beyond that closings were largely voluntaryWould this be in the states where the shut downs are the most draconian ?
