Gov. Jim Justice (R-WV) calls for large-scale stimulus:

"Trying to be per se fiscally responsible at this point in time ... if we actually throw away some money right now, so what?"

2. right. Dems shouldn't let this be 'dems v gop' drama again. How about letting some gop governors

do some of the heavy lifting. They know what's needed and should be talking with their senators...in private and in public.

5. Absolutely! There's hardly another way to interpret this message.

“Get with the program, buddy. The people need the money.”

4. It's not his money

It's NJ's money, CA's, NY's, etc. etc.

I want a HUGE package - but not because of anything the Governor of West Virginia wants or says.

It's the only way for us to be able to get the vaccine in NJ - at the rate his state got it.
