Well, there's no harm in trying right? Better than . . . just letting it happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b_m_b_m_b_m Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Honestly there seems better items to turn up the heat on, as a lot of these issues he can be somewhat reasoned with. Save the real heat for the "For The People" act and various statehood issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think $15 minimum wage has to be in this bill specifically, but also further cutting of UI payments from what it sounds like? This is a Covid relief bill and it's not a good look that Dems can't get this "campaign promise" done on many levels that were originally promised. But I'd like to get $1,400 checks into peoples' hands because apparently that worked for Trump a lot so it should help Dems too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may seem pointless and frustrating because the Dems are in control, but it's still just dealmaking. Likely everything being reported right now is intentional leaks to psych the other side out over how super serious they are about tanking a 2 trillion dollar bill over 10 billion dollars here or there.
