While the democrats, led by Nancy Pelosi, hashed out a bi-partisan 3 trillion dollar citizens support bill, by looking at the data and targeting the money where it is needed, rents and business alike. The Republicans in the Senate, led by Mitch McConnell, are, as usual, guessing that workers are lazy and are refusing to go back to work because they're getting a few more dollars from unemployment insurance. Never mind that most workers go to work because they love their jobs, while others are ambitious and want to get ahead, neither of which unemployment insurance provides. It doesn't dawn on Republicans in the Senate, that people might be staying off the job because they don't want to risk bringing a deadly disease home to their families. No surprise that Republicans like Moscow Mitch see workers as slovenly and lazy, unwilling to work unless forced by dint of the economic whip. Not a whit of compassion for the suffering the pandemic has caused. President Trump never has a word of sorrow or a paragraph of compassion for anyone but himself.
