From WSJopinion: With Mnuchin’s help, Pelosi keeps outmaneuvering Republican senators on coronavirus bills, writes KimStrassel

The concerted Republican effort to fritter away both policy and principle in these pandemic times continued apace this week—indeed, it leapt forward. Who needs Nancy Pelosi demanding more spending, more unemployment benefits and more union payoffs when Steven Mnuchin and Mitch McConnell will do it for her?

Five months after the coronavirus’s arrival, Washington has settled into a predictable loop. Speaker Pelosi’s House unveils sweeping virus legislation with vast dollar figures and progressive policy demands. Republicans...

Seems reasonable. Dems will oppose it because they don't have money for AIDS patients and Trans Surgeries. 1. Keep giving welfare to corporations. 2. Make the working poor and small business suffer as much as possible 3. Use the Police State to suppress dissent. Capitalism Enjoy They should extend the $600 till at least September.

$600 in extra unemployment would fall to $200 or $300 a week, under Mnuchin planThe $600 weekly enhanced unemployment benefit would be replaced by a reduced amount of around $200 or $300 a week, according to an analysis of a plan outlined Thursday by Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin. I'm really sick of hearing the narrative of people making more on unemployment, when 1/3 are still making less.
