In reply to the discussion: Bipartisan group of senators prepares $908 billion stimulus plan, aiming to break partisan logjam [View all]davsand

By ALL means, put the priority on keeping business afloat. Whatever you do, don't sweat hungry families and people dealing with utility shut offs. Sitting in the dark hungry and cold is not the American dream--in fact it's inhumane. I'd really like to know how any of them can say they are public servants and not get struck by lightening.
What really pisses me off is the reality is that this kind of bullshit is probably gonna persist no matter how hard Biden and his team work to fix the nation. NO matter how well intentioned Biden is, these f***nuts will still be in Congress.
I can't express the outrage I feel right now.
