Why do you tell lies and spread disinformation. Neither legal or illegal residents received payments. The amount of money for other countries in A SEPARATE BILL was not more than the relief bill. The amount was 3% of the direct payments (and it was part of TRUMP’s budget). You’re telling lies because you’re malignant or repeating lies because you’re lazy and ignorant. Which is it?

We won’t know until a bargain is struck, if a bargain even can be struck. In the meantime, look at the bill that the House of Representatives already passed to get a rough idea where the starting point is. Minimum wage will get stripped out by the Senate Dems (rightfully so because it’s a separate issue). The conservative faction of the Democratic Party is also pushing for focusing the direct payments to the most needy. This should satisfy Republican senators, but if they still refuse to act in a bipartisan manner, the Dems can push through the bill through reconciliation. Again, look at the House bill to understand the framework and basic components. The GOP Senators still have a say in the bill’s provisions, but if they don’t, it will get passed anyway. I’m a conservative. I’d rather see bipartisan problem solving by both parties acting IN GOOD FAITH. I’m not seeing many Republican politicians doing that.

This will indirectly profit the pizza industry. It’s how deregulation in one sector of the economy creates jobs in other sectors. Capitalism wins again!

It’s impossible to negotiate with someone who won’t commit to negotiations. We’ve seen how the GOP negotiates in bad faith over and over again.

@ErikDayne Yup. And this is why the minimum wage provision is being stripped from this COVID relief bill. Rightfully so, I might add. Manchin might be able to get the bill to focus on those most in need. There’s more than one way to target relief. For example, those with incomes under $50,000 get $1,800, those with incomes $51,000 - 75,000 get $1200, and $75,000 - $1000 get $800. The actual dollar amounts can vary, but this is a more sensible way to target relief payments.
