Biden and Democrats try to lead while McConnell holds a hungry, sick, dying nation hostage

[634-5789]

"There needs to be emergency assistance and aid during the lame-duck session to help families, to help small business," Jen Psaki, a Biden transition aide, said Friday before the Biden meeting with the leaders. "There's no more room for delay, and we need to move forward as quickly as possible." The transition team issued a statement after the meeting saying that the leaders "agreed that Congress needed to pass a bipartisan emergency aid package in the lame-duck session" but didn't specify the size of that package. Thus far, McConnell remains the brick wall. "We want to reach agreement on all the areas where compromise is well within reach, send hundreds of billions of dollars to urgent and uncontroversial programs, and let Washington argue over the rest later," he said the Senate floor last week, trolling the Democrats. "By playing all-or-nothing hardball with a proposal this radical, our colleagues have thus far guaranteed that American workers and families get nothing at all." Which is, of course, bullshit.

1. McConnell has ZERO reason to do anything AND if democrats don't win both Senate races, this will

continue for 2 more years as GOP plya is to damage as much as possible and blame democrats for it as usual with the M$M doing all they can to help.

The idea of "helping" to GOP is always focused on their masters (business and the elite class). Unless business suffers, democrats have ZERO leverage
