Damn, Kevin Cirilli of Bloomberg is arguing the case like Blitzer was implying that Pelosi is being

unreasonable for not accepting the trump 1.8 trillion stimulus

It’s really unfortunate that Andrew Yang, who wasn’t elected to anything, helped push that narrative that has undercut the ability of Pelosi to get a full deal

Pelosi had a deal on the table for over 3 months, and the republican’s didn’t even want to talk to her, now with the help of the media it is all her fault

She has had a deal on the table since May. She said, long ago, “$2T or no deal.” They’re the ones being unreasonable. They can’t pressure her to do anything.

Cirilli may also be thinking about industries, like the airline industry.

... so then he can give the $2trillion to his crony friends and richest 1%.

No more money left over for anyone else such as the middle class or lower classes.

That is the trDump Team plan for extended Covid bailout funding.

Tax breaks and no strings bailout funding for the super rich,... fuck everyone else.

No wonder Pelosi is holding out for a better deal to be put on the table.

trDump's intent is to plunder the US Treasury under the guise of protecting us with Covid bailout funding. But is is just a grand scheme for the super rich to stuff more of our money into their wallets and fatten their already bloated secret off shore bank accounts with more US taxpayer funded welfare only and exclusively for the super super rich.
