Meanwhile, I'm long term unemployed, do I get a nickel?

Do they know I exist?

It's like they don't understand inflation and what things cost?

They want to keep the majority down, I don't get it, like they have to be above others in their minds disease?

The money grubbing at every turn is so gross and never ending loophole exploiting!

no way to pin this on the Dems. All the bs over the years about how Dems don’t stick together. Yeah, we squabble like brothers and sisters but we know when to knock that shit off. If the ship’s going down, we’re going to make sure everyone gets to safety. Repubs are so busy fighting to see who can be the biggest asshole they’re all going to drown.

That hasn't been much in evidence since their last tax cut got rammed through, emptying the Treasury into the bottomless pockets of their wealthy bankrollers. Kinda cute to see them all jacked up that someone might get $1,200 when they blew trillion dollar holes in the last two budgets.

happens when large pieces of legislation are written up quickly.

Pass the bill as is, and get to work on a technical corrections bill. That's the way these problems have been solved in the past.
