    Democrats have a $1.9T covid relief package. Republicans are filibustering it.

    Therefore, we should take the politics out of it, and push Democrats harder to get action.

    What do you consider extras?

    Not that it matters, since your party lost bigly. Elections have consequences, and all that.

    Anything extra. Is that really that hard to figure out? Dems are in control now. Get it done.

    One man's extra is another man's essential. I was asking for your view, but you don't have to provide it.

    But another answer to your question - they need to do as much via reconciliation as possible, since Republicans will block everything else. Therefore one big bill is much better than any other number of smaller bills.

    They are.

    By the power vested in me by S2, I hereby grant you a full and unconditional pardon for your ignorance.
    This pardon was supported by many people, including Sean Hannity and Mike Lindell.

    Agreed. Lack of action by our government since this pandemic hit is without a question inexcusable. It's been a year. Biden has been in office for 12 whole days.

    Well, pardon me, but I doubt they support you in any way.

    Americans are getting kicked out of their homes and are living in their car or a tent under a bridge.

    How about those that wish they would get a meal, escape a homeless life or those not qualified because they make more than the $ cutoff? Two opposite sides of economic disparity.

    First, I would like to see a bill completely devoted to American people rather than foreigner programs attached into the package.
    Second, The public should view the scope of the bill and the politicians who sponsored their bullshit agenda.
    Third, The American people should have a forum so they will be directly involved in denouncing the politicians that sponsored inane and ridiculous programs.
    The American public may not have control on the final Congressional vote but would be able to observe if their representatives deserve to stay or be booted out the next time they vote.

    No US President degrades their intelligence as far down as Trump had demonstrated on this platform..

    Cruz would approve. However, everyone views him as an idiotic asshole, because he let Trump insult his wife, step on him in the primaries and then supported Trump by being a phone bank solicitor. The fact he stands with Trump, shows he is a dog who wants scraps from his master. Just my honest opinion.....
