I realize Biden wants to pass this with Republican support, but this deal they're proposing is nonsense. - Inigo Feb 1, 07:27 4
- I'm sure I'm missing something but if Dems have a majority in both houses, why is there negotiation? -- nm - oblique Feb 1, 07:35 3
  - Primarily, because Biden ran on 'bipartisanship' - ty97 Feb 1, 07:36 1
    - I can't imagine Manchin is going to publicly turn down aid to West Virginia, but we'll see. -- nm - Inigo Feb 1, 07:39
  - trying to show good will. Basically to say " we did TRY" -- nm - Pippy Feb 1, 07:36

$1000 checks instead of $1600. Much lower income phaseouts for checks. -- nm - ty97 Feb 1, 07:22 9
- And I see nothing for state/local which is a no-go -- nm - ty97 Feb 1, 07:23 8
  - Like I've said before, Biden should be able to send each state aid because they've all declared emergencies from COVID. - Inigo Feb 1, 07:29 1
    - That's the other card on the table. Biden still has outs to get States and People additional support. Forgiving Debts, Natl Emergency Relief -- nm - budice Feb 1, 07:33
  - That's a starting point. Anything additional GOP is willing to help with sooner should be a win. Somewhere inbetween $1.9B and $600B. -- nm - budice Feb 1, 07:25 3
    - Or, hear me out, get Manchin and Sinema on board and just pass the 1.9B -- nm - ty97 Feb 1, 07:26 2
      - Which is fine too. The Bi-Partisan Optics look better passing a Unified proposal. Can alway add the remainder with Manchin and Skinema -- nm* - budice Feb 1, 07:28 1
        
        Does anyone really care if this is passed in a bipartisan manner? Or do they care that they get a check? -- nm - ty97 Feb 1, 07:29
  - Eff that noise. -- nm - znufrii Feb 1, 07:25
  - I was just about to post this. -- nm - Krusty Feb 1, 07:24
Nope -- nm - Krusty Feb 1, 07:22
