The Democratic-controlled House of Representatives passed the American Rescue Plan early Saturday morning. The vote came upon party lines with 219 Democrats supporting, two Democrats opposing it.
The Republicans did not support it.
The legislation which President Joe Biden wants passed quickly will now head to the Senate which will be a nail-biter. The two moderate senators, Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) and Joe Manchin (D-WV) will likely support the package.
The vote came early around 2am. The Republicans spent a majority of the time either traveling to Orlando to bitch about Biden or bitch in the House about the 9% of the bill having some earmark or whatever they never read in the bill.
Progressive members of the House are angry that the $15 minimum wage was left out of the bill. The Senate parliamentarian said that the minimum wage increase in the bill will not make it to reconciliation.
Sinema and Manchin are also opposed to the increase.
The Democrats managed to pass the American Rescue Plan with many of them on board. |
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said that the minimum wage will be passed in this Congress and she confirms the House will work on a bill that will make it to Biden's desk for him to sign.
Biden wants this legislation passed before March 14. The reason why he wants it now is because those affected by the COVID-19 pandemic will not have unemployment benefits after Congress doesn't pass it.
QAnon Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) fresh off his ass kissing tour with former president Donald J. Trump cried about the legislation passing through the House.
"This isn't a relief bill. It takes care of Democrats' political allies while it fails to deliver for American families," McCarthy said in his presser. "We already know what is the best stimulus plan out there: It is to fully reopen our economy. To do that, we need our economy to go back to work, back to school and back to health."
We are reminded that under Trump over 500,000 Americans died from the coronavirus. Over 40 million people lost their jobs. Large gatherings and embracing others is now out of the question.
Americans who believe the bullshit coming out of that jackass's mouth supports the insurrection last month which lead to five people being killed, over $30 million in damages and over 300 arrests.
McCarthy's party supports white nationalism. Since they failed at handling an international crisis, they now resort to the tired ankle biting they've done during the Obama years.
Thanks to Trump, the Republicans have no room to complain. They allowed a deadly disease come to our shores and changed the landscape of the country for a generation.
And for those who still support the Republican Party, you're doomed to failure.
The Senate will take up the matter on Monday and it will hopefully be passed before Biden gives his Joint Session of Congress.
Vice President Kamala Harris will be the deciding factor in an evenly split Senate. |
When the Joint Session of Congress is announced, we expect Republicans to not show up or interrupt the session with theatrics.
The American Rescue Plan is receiving strong support. Over 69% of Americans support the bill being passed through Congress and many Republican governors and mayors are quietly saying that the bill will help reboot the economy.
Majority of the bill will have funding for the vaccines. But of course, Republicans refuse to tell you that. They rather you get worked up over some trivial issue that they claim is a part of a "liberal wishlist."
Like you idiots didn't managed to ram through your wishlist of a Supreme Court nominee, a tax cut, and our tax dollars to fund a worthless border wall.
