Off Base!?!

The bill he calls "off base" contains:
- free testing for everyone
- paid emergency medical leave
- extended unemployment insurance for those who will lose their jobs
- food assistance
- help for health care workers

It does lack $ for big business, hotel magnates & shale oil.

Nothing prevents the senate from changing every line in the house bill, passing that and then head to conference where the compromise bill would be worked out and then passed.

You know, like it used to be done for over 200 years until mcconnel became leader.

The truth is mcconnel couldn’t get a bill passed in the senate. He is purely incompetent when he isn’t being evil.

I wish the media would point out that the senate needs to pass their own version of the bill and doesn’t need anything more from the house until then.
