I dream that Joe Biden will walk into the Senate chamber and have a bullet pointed sign listing all the items on his $1.9 trillion package.
And I hope he’ll ask for a show of hands on each item from the Senators, both Democrat and Republican, if they want to cut that item, and if so by how much.
Maybe, a Senator would like an increase? Speak up.
Maybe, a cut? Okay. “What’s your name?” “Let the record show that Senator such-and-such wants to cut X number of dollars from this and so.”
I think that the cuts should be unfairly proportioned. Any Senator who wants to have a cut should have his state’s allocation cut by double the allotted amount.
I’m betting that not a single Senator from the Republican side will raise a hand. Not one.
PS – Perseverance Landing.
Did I miss something? Do all Republicans have high paying jobs that were not affected by the Pandemic? Their stinginess only seems to affect the poor. Are Democrats only the poor people?
So the poor are supposed to suffer so the ultra rich can be tax free?
All I can say is that the Republicans have a lotta nerve.
