According to this AP article, the Senate GOP is warning that the so-called “stimulus” bill may not pass the Senate. McConnell says that he “…can’t believe that the president isn’t embarrassed about the products that have been produced…”
As usual, the Dems are saying the situation is dire; “we cannot delay this”, says Durban. Yet they’re unwilling to fix what caused the problem: the Community Reinvestment Act and the associated regulations of the Clinton Era. No rush to take care of that!
I hope the Senate GOP will stick to its guns. I fear that they will accept a few cuts in the bill, and then they’ll try to play it as “we stood up to Obama!” They need to get the squishes on board and threaten, then carry out, a filibuster.
