....because they expect to lose the next election.
They cannot afford to waste a good crisis. They played this game once before in 2008-09 and took the homes of millions of Americans as banks hoarded the bailout money.
So, why shouldn't it work again for them?
They are desperate. They want their trillion dollars and they want it now. They don't want any restrictions. They are blaming the Democrats of "playing politics".
Let us hope that the Democrats hold their feet to the fire.

(82,849 posts)Wouldn't it be nice if a teevee interviewer could get Mitch McConnell on the line and ask him why Senate Republicans shut the Democrats out entirely from crafting this latest kleptocratic legislation? Instead, we get talking chuckleheads blaming Democrats for not holding the door open while the crooks take it on the lam.
