Toomey is trying to cut the ability of the feds to help in the financial crisis as part of letting the bill for covid relief pass.
We already went fron 3.3 trillions to 900 billions, agreed to drop aid to states, cut stimulus payments to $600.00, unemployement checks to $300.00 .
Republicans know we might yield on that too. They are ununcumbered by conscience, we are not and the gop has learned to take advantage of it.
Honestly, im not sure how we get out of this situation. If we yield, we enable them, if we dont people who desperately need help quick get hurt.

Just evil and cruel.
