Top U.S. House Republican says another coronavirus stimulus bill may not be needed

Source: Reuters

BONDS NEWS MARCH 29, 2020 / 10:32 AM / UPDATED 32 MINUTES AGO

WASHINGTON, March 29 (Reuters) - The top U.S. House of Representatives Republican said on Sunday that a fourth economic stimulus package to try to curb the economic fallout from the coronavirus pandemic would be premature and may not even be necessary.

“I’m not sure we need a fourth package,” House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy told the Fox News program “Sunday Morning Futures,” noting he wants to see the first three packages totaling more than $2 trillion take effect first.

Illustrating the continuing tensions between the two parties in Congress, he added that he fears House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a Democrat, would try to use a fourth package to insert a political wish-list of items.

I understand wanting to dole out the first 3 bills and see what happens before adding even more in a fourth bill. The problem is nobody really knows final details of the bills.

by simply paying all salaries until corona quiets down. Freezes everything as-is. We will have winners and losers and lobbying and noise, and the poor will be worse off than when it started.

None of that over in under 5 secs BS!

Burning at the stake is anticipation torture sure, but the actual, they pass out too quickly from that much pain to the entire system at once?



-Student of methods....



Some say mean, I say warranted/earned/fuck'em (you pick?).

PPV it to help pay off the national debt, offer other countries it, for a small fee, & let them pay off some debts too!



Bonfire the remains for marshmallows and whatever afterwards!

When everything is down on the table, no Republican means a damned thing in the House. No power, no leverage.
