McConnell says Congress will take up stimulus package at start of 2021

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) says he expects Congress to move another coronavirus relief package “right at the beginning” of 2021 ...

“We probably need to do another package, certainly more modest than the $3 trillion Nancy Pelosi package. I think that’ll be something we’ll need to do right at the beginning of the year,” McConnell told conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt on Friday.

We could target it particularly at small businesses that are struggling, and hospitals that are now dealing with the second wave of the coronavirus, and of course the challenges for education, both K-12 and college,” the GOP leader said.

“If you’re still alive and need help after New Year’s Day, we may do something.”

easy to change the day after the election. If Mc supports a stimulus plan, it will be a big-business bailout and let the money trickle down. It as if we haven't been trickled on enough already.

corrupt stimulus package that McConnell and his band of corrupt creeps bring, and will immediately pass a righteous and effective stimulus package that helps all Americans to the max, within a week after Joe is inaugurated and Schumer becomes Senate Majority Leader.

8. Hopefully he and his fellow obstruction bots will be reduced to filibustering.

And I am guessing there will be 60 votes in the new Senate for progress after the 2020 drubbing the Republicans are going to get.
