:doh on Pelosi.

You know the provision the Republicans found in the bill that would pay, say, an unemployed worker in South Carolina $24 not to work vs $17 at their job? The one that is obviously a bad idea to incentivize unemployment?

I saw an MSNBC report on the non-passing of the bill yesterday. They framed it as "The Republicans would rather deny hurting workers a tiny raise than pass this relief bill."

True story. Unbelievable.
They are hoping to use this as bait to keep people on welfare. The more people on welfare and reliant on the government, the better for them.

Good gawd, I hope ours doesn't last that long. I mean, it's nice being home and all but my family may all murder each other if we are home that long.

We haven't had that yet. They are meeting tonight so I expect some skeleton crew type situation here. My work requires at least 1 person here everyday or spend several hundred thousand dollars outfitting computers. Too late to do that now, though.

Yep, probably also don't want the unemployment numbers improving any more than necessary. There is an election coming up.

Pathetic as it is, that's how they think.
