McConnell as small business loan funds run dry: 'This should be above politics'

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell slammed Democrats Thursday as they continue to hold out on a deal to extend an additional $251 billion for emergency small business loans.

Mr. McConnell, Kentucky Republican, lamented that there has been “no progress” toward a solution as the unemployment numbers continue to climb.

“Even now, Senate Democrats are still blocking funding. Every Senate Republican was ready to act today, but Democrats would not let us reopen the program,” Mr. McConnell said. “This should be above politics.”

Senate Republicans attempted to pass an additional $250 billion last Thursday, but they were blocked by Senate Democrats.

Joe, this is a little off topic but not much. Supposedly befpre this, the average household had less than $1,000 in the bank. Where has everyone come up with all this money? How are they sustaining, how did they purchase so many supplies at the store? It has to have broke so many people. The PPP is fine for larger businesses, but for the small 1/2 person family companies that doesn't work. They think the unemployment is high now? They haven't even allowed the small business to file yet. This has severely taken a toll on the small businesses, you can only save up so much money to be prepared for something like this! When they allow everyone to go back to work, the calls will not just flood in. People need to to get their finances in order as well as feeling safe with a stranger in the house. This is something I would love to see an article on! How with the unemployment department handle this massive surge?

Check out Michele Gregory's facebook post from today. She wants anyone who expresses their 1st amendment right(to protest draconian measures) to sign a waiver to forego any medical treatment for Covid-19. Gotta love those SJWs...

3:27PM—-Hear, Hear! It is comforting to know that there are other patriots out there, besides myself. In addition the Sheriffs in Michigan and Wisconsin are also vindicating my thoughts and views exactly. It appears these gentlemen have read and understand our Constitution and the Bill of Rights!

We are already. Zionist-Communist. Waiting for the hand out.
