(18,577 posts)I have read about their great "help" of some people in a country in Africa. What I remember is they had a great PR stunt where they gave infant formula to people who had lots of difficulty feeding their families. The supply of formula mix given out lasted long enough for the mother's milk to dry up which made nursing impossible, after that the formula was still available of course just no longer free.
It's great that the Senate now has a majority of Democrats. Mitch McDoNothing has proven himself to be nothing more than a pimple on the ass of progress. President Biden's American Rescue Plan needed to be passed before the approaching cliff of ending federal unemployment assistance. Republicans felt left out and all voted against it and it still passed. What kind of delay would have been involved to listen to their objections and bandy back and forth what should and should not be included? To that party line whine there is the clear answer of expeditious need. The majority of Americans will see that.
After assuring that people are fed and protected from being homeless, Democrats need to think about preserving control of the Senate, House and Presidency. Would anything be gained in giving back the Majority Leader spot to McConman just to pass some useless ban that would likely be tossed by the trump installed SCOTUS critters or simply undone by the next Republican controlled Congress?
Discontinuing aid that suffering people have come to depend on is worse than criminal, it's inhuman. Leaving folks anxious and worried about that aid till the last minute is far less than ideal.
We have a handful of seats in Congress that now give us a majority and we have the Presidency for another 46 months for sure. I'd like to see the REAL priorities handled first without pipe dreams being used as ammunition by the party of distractions and doing nothing.
We have 94 weeks for sure to handle two critical priorities:
1) End the further crippling of the country from the virus.
2) Not lose the House.
