DEMS hold America hostage by blocking small business funding.

FOX News (right-click on link and open in new window): Dems block McConnell bid to swiftly approve $250B more for small business fund.

A $250 billion urgent request to shore up a depleting small business fund failed to pass the Senate Thursday after Democrats objected to the measure pushed by the White House and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.

With lawmakers home and social distancing, McConnell sought to pass the cash infusion swiftly Thursday by unanimous consent with a skeleton group of senators, but Democrats blocked the effort because they want add-ons to help businesses in disadvantaged communities and an additional $250 billion in funds for other priorities.

The extra funding is being sought amid concerns that the original $350 billion program to help businesses stay afloat during the coronavirus pandemic could run dry in the near future in the face of an enormous demand.

McConnell pleaded with Democrats to pass a measure that would change the funding for the program from $350 billion to $600 billion total in a "clean" emergency measure.

"My colleagues must not treat working Americans as political hostages. This does not have to be, nor should it be, contentious." McConnell said, adding that lawmakers can pass other COVID-19 legislation in the future.

"Please do not block emergency aid you do not even oppose, just because you want something more," McConnell implored.

But Democrats say they’ve got a better plan[.]

McConnell accused Democrats of trying to hold paychecks "hostage" and blasted them for trying to push programs that have "zero" chance of passing the House and Senate.

 The actual viral threat.

Democrats have never had "a plan" for anything (other than their own self-enrichment and failed policies), let alone a "better plan."

Republicans are far from perfect - not by a long shot. But I do give them credit for understanding that politics must be set aside in these times in order to successfully preserve the stability of our country.

Cluck Schumer is doing the work in the Senate that Nancy Pelosi tells him to do. She says "jump" and Schumer says, "how high?" Schumer is Pelosi's puppet. Both are evil, America-hating Elitists who don't give a whit about providing assistance to the suffering, hard-working Americans and small businesses.

Not every business owner is a Wealthy Selfish Greedy Republican. There are many Liberals who own businesses. They are suffering economic hardships just like everyone else.

So I ask you, Liberal business owners - are you happy with your Democrat "leadership"? Your businesses are atrophying. Some will never reopen. Your house is burning and the DEMS are nitpicking which water source should be used to put out the flames. Are you happy about that?

Every single DEM needs to be booted out of office at the local, state and federal level this election. Voters need to make DEMS a muted minority party who have zero political power and influence.
