WASHINGTON — Senate Democrats blocked a Republican proposal to add $250 billion to small-business coronavirus relief funds on Thursday after demanding the inclusion of additional resources for hospitals and state and local governments.
“I am afraid that this unanimous consent is basically a political stunt," Sen. Ben Cardin, D-Md., said following McConnell's request. “This unanimous consent was not negotiated, there was no effort made … so it won’t get done. It's not going to be enacted.” “The majority leader knew full well there was not agreement," Van Hollen said."This was designed to fail.”
The Paycheck Protection Program, the forgivable small-business loan program created by the $2 trillion stimulus package known as the CARES Act, has been overwhelmed by demand. Less than a week after it launched, many lawmakers expressed concern that the program would quickly run out of the $350 billion they provided for it.“Please, do not block emergency aid that you do not oppose just because you want something more," he said.
Yahoo Good, if nothing else the Democrats know that to deal with Trump, everything has to be spelled out word for word as to where the money is going or it will end up in the accounts of millionaires and billionaires.
Back to helping themselves to seconds? Disgusting.

Mnuchin seeks $250 billion more in small business aid, as Senate vote is planned for Thursday“I want to assure all small businesses out there: We will not run out of money,” Treasury Sec. Mnuchin says, after announcing yesterday he is seeking an additional $250 billion in small business aid. Yeah because they will print to infinity. They aren't even restricted by needing paper to print on since it's all digital printing and digital inflation. They are doing what they can under a tight timeline, and that’s a good thing. We need to keep the pressure on though, because there is much more to be done. And at the same time - it is very necessary to keep a watchful eye on how these big corporations allocate relief funds. Mnunchin by far has been President Trumps best and most reliable cabinet member
