The date mentioned in the title of the video is the 18th, but I think they meant 28th as this was streamed about four hours ago.
This is an update on the relief package and Sen. Schumer details the Xmas in July goodies the Rethugs want for their real constituents of wealth and ownership, or, the only Americans that matter to them at all. The lobbyists made a gift list and like true Fascists, they want to deliver the merging of big business and state, which is what I think we are seeing openly now. Remember, this is a time when many Americans are on the brink of being destitute and so, the contrast is most alarming.
What they want in and out of the bill is just amazingly a middle finger to the rest of us, not help. It is truly a huge insult in this crisis.
