Emergency aid for small businesses was blocked by Senate Democrats Thursday amid demands that Republicans include broader funding measures and stipulations.
McConnell said Democrats' blocking the funding was equivalent to holding"Americans' paychecks hostage." Flanked by Sen. Jeanne Shaheen and Sen. Ben Cardin , Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer addresses reporters following a lunch with Senate Democrats on Capitol Hill, October 24, 2017, in Washington, D.C.The small business loan program, known as the Paycheck Protection Program, was created under a $2 trillion economic stimulus package passed last month.
Trying to pass it without knowing what was in the bill? Knowing McConnell he probably had a clause stuffed in there. We would pay for a new house for him and his family.
Jali_Cat How much of a raise do Dems want this time?
Can’t wait to hear Nevada’s Senators explain this vote!
More money for the Kennedy Center wanted? idiots

What is really going on?
Well, in fairness, if Mitch McConnell is mentioned then there is doubtless a political stunt…
FU Where are the headlines about senatemajldr letting lobbyists wrote the bailout where r the headlines realDonaldTrump firing all the IG this is y America is quickly fading into the sunset
Republicans just blocked a critical bill to aid small businesses, all because it also included help for communities on the front-lines, hospitals, and nutrition benefits for those going hungry. Shameful. Confronting this crisis requires helping ALL who need it.
good for them, gotta watch moscowmitch carefully, he is such a turd

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
