Good on President Trump !

 What's happening is he is not allowing Nancy Pelosi to continue using the long-term unemployed and airlines workers facing furloughs as hostages for her plans to bail out the badly managed Blue states and cities that have faced economic woes for their own poor financial planning dating back to well before the CoVid crisis hit...

Nope, she's dragged it out this much.  The Republicans in the Senate offered a "skinny bill" that would have indeed helped put money into the pocketbooks and checking accounts of the affected workers and businesses, but Nancy continually said, No.  Seems she was holding out for more, more, more... not compromising.

Now President Trump has called her bluff.

If she won't pass a package that directly helps CoVid-affected workers and businesses -- and the economy overall -- by pumping in payments that would be seen when past-due bills are paid, and that money starts circulating again, her little negotiating in bad-faith plan will not be rewarded.  

By refusing to sever the ongoing fiscal woes of cities and states that continually spent more than they took in, with those innocents affected when the economy was artificially shut down by the pandemic in recent month, Nancy Pelosi is showing us just how little she -- and her Democratic pals -- really care about American workers.  We're just hostages in their game, playing chips not people.

I'd like to see this strategy -- and how the Trump administration is rebuffing it -- discussed in great detail at tomorrow's debate between VP Mike Pence and liberal California senator Kamala Harris.  She's not Nancy, but she's got some 'splaining to do to the American workers about Dem Senate strategy.

In the meantime, what is to stop President Trump from issuing another executive order like he did for the month of April, authorizing individual states to accept and pay a more modest amount of stimulus aid weekly -- it was $300 then, with the states unable or refusing to match the $100 he requested -- to help affected workers pay bills and put the money immediately back into play, circulating in the economy?  (Studies show, the stimulus funds get spent, not stored in bank accounts or 401(k)-style investments.)

Action, action, action ... and a refusal to play the games Congress has conditioned the country to over the years.  The cities and states that spent beyond their means are not in the same boat as those whose incomes were lost, or temporarily curtailed, not by the CoVid infections so much, but by the panic that saw their workplaces being closed up tight and their jobs lost.

Explain it so the American people understand it, Mike.

Who is really hurting American workers by refusing to negotiate a stimulus plan in good faith, and who is larding up these packages with debts that have nothing to do with CoVid.  We can wait.

Tell the majority of the American people too that the President and his economic advisors see the wisdom in sending out additional $1,200 checks to those not blessed enough to be amongst the country's top earners, and why they won't be seeing another round any time soon.  It's the Democratic party that allegedly values workers and families refusing to budge unless Queen Nancy gets her way.  Let Kamala and SloJoe defend that .
