They can point fingers at Republicans and Republicans can point them right back.

“They aren’t sending out enough money!”

“We want to send out money but they refuse, saying $600 or $0. Guess you’re fricked.”

What could they want other than crash the economy if they won't compromise here?

Maybe they can give the $1T and argue after about the other $2T. Wouldn’t that seem fair to the libs instead of giving zero?

Clown world continues.

Even if Pelosi got the $600. They won't act until their failed dem States are bailed out from rioting destruction & failed management. Oh and also billions for mail in ballots.

They want the economy to tank.

Pelosi wants 3trillion or nothing. The dems wouldn't even agree to just stimulus money and $400 UE booster.

They want to cause as much pain as possible before the election.

This should not work but the media will blame Trump.

The only thing Trump can't do is --it seems-- the Stimulus $1200.

I think he has a lot of power in the emergencies act.

the proper way to do this, and just about everything in dc is for stand alone bills.

in this case, they (dems and reps) agree on more than they let on. $1200 stimulus, $400/$600 UE, eviction protection, and a few more items.

So vote on what they somewhat agree upon. get everyone on record voting.

then go back and worry about all of the pork that they are presently arguing about. the country will ultimately save billions.

Guess they'd rather just not extend unemployment benefits.

Why aren’t we linking payments to the cost of living in different regions? I can understand needing $600 if you are living in the Bay Area, but for the near entirety of rural America, and extra $600 per week is WAY above the cost of living. Just begging people to stay on the government dole.
