Reason McConnell won't bring up vote on the $2,000 stimulus check

I just saw a short video clip of Sen McConnell on the CBS Evening news where he says:
"We're not borrowing to give more money to the Democrats' rich friends who don't need help."

Silly me. I thought it was to help those in lines at food banks, those getting evicted, etc.

I'm looking forward to seeing him as minority leader. His ego will have a hard time with that.

He doesn't care if people starve or live in the street.
Not his problem.

4. Aren't there restrictions on who gets the $2000 based on your previous years earnings?

So rich people do not get the $2,000.

Mitch is a liar!

6. To McConnell's way of thinking, people in line at the food bank or getting evicted ARE rich

McConnell wants everyone to be at the same poverty level as the nitwits who keep re-electing him. Why, some of those Democrat richy-riches even have all (or most) of their teeth!

Why would we stop? Our supporters like jingoism. We have the best ad men.(Darn those Lincoln jingoists.) He's using what they did, to slap altruism. These guys are at war. Great minds take time. Manage those without thinking time and you have lollipops in the kids sights in the store. The psych guys have a limited audience. Need a psyche guy with mottos. How do you shrink the Gettysburg? Put an appropriate quote here. Herding viruses is hard. We have to think like sheep dogs, as a start.
