Mar 2020

The measure would have been dramatically worse had Republicans not been faced with the reality of a divided Congress and the interventions of Senate minority leader Charles Schumer and his caucus, which fought for more than $100 billion for hospitals, $150 billion dollars for state and local government, $30 billion in emergency education funding, $25 billion in emergency transit funding, vital initiatives for small businesses, and anti-corruption initiatives that Schumer said were toughened with the aid of Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren. The Democrats celebrated a plan providing direct payments averaging $1,200 for individuals and $2,400 for couples, as well as what Schumer dubbed “unemployment insurance on steroids.”

THANK you Senator Schumer, thank you Senator Warren, and thank you Schumer's negotiators who worked tirelessly for days to come up with this bill.

It irks me to no end now when someone who had nothing to do with drafting the bill attempts to take credit for all that hard work of our Senate Democrats.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
