A year that hasn’t pulled any punches comes to an end with the dispersing of the $2,000 stimulus’s is withheld. Fear that the disperse of $2,000 would be sent to those who don’t need it.
“The Senate is not going to split apart the three issues that President Trump linked together just because Democrats are afraid to address two of them. The Senate is not going to be bullied into rushing out more borrowed money into the hands of Democrats’ rich friends who don’t need the help”. McConnell said on Wednesday at the U.S Senate floor.
The issue needs to be addressed by actually sending support to Americans. People are struggling to pay rent, provide for the family, and handling a job with a deadly virus doesn’t help. An argument for opposing the stimulus mentions why it was not considered during President Trump’s tax cuts.
“Senate Republicans added nearly 2 trillion to deficits to give corporations a massive tax cut,” Schumer, the Senate minority leader, said Tuesday. “So I don’t want to hear it that it costs too much to help working families getting a check when they’re struggling to keep their jobs and pay their family families and live a normal life.”
They reduce tax cuts on the wealthy and become so focused on making sure they keep their money but have a low income from getting support to inform where they stand. With the pushback of the stimulus, it to be approved or denied, we will not know until next year where the Senate will sway when it comes to helping its people or disregarding them.
