    "I don't think it's going to survive," Biden said, adding that it is unlikely to pass "because of the rules of the United States Senate."...

    Did someone explain to this idiot that doing this Now would prevent small business from bringing back those jobs as we try to get over COVID Lockdowns?

    But but but, you just don't care about sick people do you? You want to see poor people dead in the street.

    Fie for shame.
