Daily Mail: BREAKING NEWS: Coronavirus bailout stalls AGAIN in deadlocked Senate as Republicans and Democrats collapse into partisan bickering and Nancy Pelosi unveils her own rival House bill
* Democrats were able to block the GOP-backed phase three economic stimulus bill for the second time in two days
* Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Monday that after long negotiations, the two sides were able to agree on a coronavirus relief bill
* McConnell and Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, however, shared sharp words for the opposing Party during Senate-floor statements
* Nancy Pelosi revealed Monday that she is unveiling her own counter proposal
* McConnell charged Democrats with trying to get their 'wish list' of unrelated measures passed in the phase three economic stimulus bill
* He claims they blocked the bill Sunday night, and now Monday afternoon, because they wanted to get parts of the Green New Deal passed with the bill
* 'Every time we hear the Majority Leader come out it's a partisan screed,' Chuck Schumer shot back at McConnell
* Instead, he insisted that Democrats are 'trying to get things done'
* The bill failed for a second time as some Republican senators cannot show up for the vote as they self-isolate over fears of contracting or spreading coronavirus
Democrats blocked the phase three coronavirus economic stimulus package again on Monday, even though Republicans claimed ahead of the vote that they were proposing a bipartisan bill.
Senators voted 49-46 Monday afternoon on the nearly $2 trillion stimulus bill – with a few 'aye' votes missing as five Republican senators self-quarantine over coronavirus fears.
Although Democrats and Republicans have spent days negotiating this package, talks dissolved on the Senate floor Monday as Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer blamed each other for holding up the relief.
As the bipartisan effort in Congress continues to crumble, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is preparing to bring to the House floor her own phase three package.

Tucker Carlson did an excellent rundown of the House Democrat version of the coronovirus aid bill. Its a pure Leftist fantasy list. The bill uses the words diverse of diversity more than 60 times.
https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/house-bill/6201
Total race politics.
Sample:
"Every company that receives coronavirus aid is required to have officers and a budget dedicated to diversity inclusion initiatives for a minimum of 5 years after receiving the aid.
Every company that receives coronavirus aid would have to produce elaborate racial reports for the government listing the skin color and sex of their officers and boards of directors. Also prove that they give enough money to firms owned by women and non-whites and how much they spend on diversity initiatives
The bill allocates $300M for hiring experts to manage the coronavirus preparation and response. But requires that the people be chosen on their race and disability status not their qualifications.
The bill mandates that all 50 states have an "Early Voter Period" as well as same day voter registration. (so Dems will have an electoral advantage)
Its expands collective bargaining rights for federal employees (the least threatened and most Democrat group of workers in the country)
Mandates all airlines offset their carbon emissions within five years.
The bill even includes provisions to protect foreign nationals - over Americans - from layoffs. Automatically renews work visas and work permits.
The Senate version also includes a move to kill a requirement that companies receiving aid not move employees overseas."

Literally embarrassed to be an American today.
Additional regulations are exactly what we don't need!! In order to gdt the economy back up as fast as possible, steep regulatory and tax cuts will be needed.
B,
The US deepstate response to Chinese coronavirus is entirely based upon Democrat/progressive media-hyped fear and Democrat/progressive Governors and Mayors abusing their powers to shut down State and Local economies. US industries cease to function - thereby cratering US macroeconomics as a way to attack Trump's strongest political aspect ahead of the election.
Anyone see any GOP Governors or Mayors shutting things down yet?
WASTE,
NO
CRISIS,
R,
"Mandates all airlines offset their carbon emissions within five years."
Must be a real emergency if they can hold up the relief bill for unicorn magic.
Mandates all airlines offset their carbon emissions within five years?
Okay, I'll bite. Let's see Grifter Pelosi and others of the Party of Evil live net zero for 5 years. If they can do it without bogus accounting of buying or renting some tree plot in Costa Rica, we can move forward on the airline thing.
I am thinking the following. This hostage negotiation over the Stimulus Bill gets Nancy off more than shampeachment or sex ever did. Nancy never had so much fun. She loves this power. She has the executioner's axe in her hand.
Federal $15 minimum wage?
The hourly base pay of a Step 1 GS-5 employee is $14.43 per hour. A GS 5 job typically require a college degree. So if you have a $15 federal minimum, the GS5 will have to be paid more. In short you will get wage inflation.
www.federalpay.org/gs/2020/GS-5
Do you want a person at a fast food joint to make more money than you after you put your life on hold for 4 years to earn a degree?
It will be like a dog chasing its tail, a wage death (upward) spiral. You will never catch up (within society). In global society you will make you good s and service uncompetitive.
If a person has a low paying job, they need to get skills to move to a better paying job and/or that job needs to be automated or combined.
-Publication and reporting of greenhouse gas statistics for individual flights
Can we start with all flights by Democrat Congress Critters 1st. Let's do a pilot study of the huge carbon footprint or should I say carbon ass print.
Compare the Democracker Congressional carbon footprint to the typical American. Then form a gauntlet.
1st full weak of spring is here and still snowing in the mid belt of states and not in the mountains. I thought the Democrats and other warmunists promised us no snow. It has been a generation, since they made their prediction and their predictions have not panned out.
Of course these crackers gave themselves just under 4 generations for their prediction to pan out and are more than willing to generously cut themselves some slack and keep moving the goal posts.

Could not this one wait?
But it couldn't. It makes a nice cudgel to beat Republicans
