Biden Caves to Coons/Manchin on Watered Down Stimulus

Knee-jerk moderation and the need to make everything worse in the name of compromise.

Disgusting.

Coons: PRESIDENT BIDEN IS SOMEONE WHO WILL WORK ACROSS THE AISLE. I WAS ENCOURAGED TO HEAR SENATOR CASSIDY SAY REGARDLESS OF THE OUTCOME OF THIS STIMULUS BILL, THIS COVID RESPONSE BILL, HE IS GOING TO WORK ACROSS THE AISLE. I HAVE BEEN A GOOD FRIEND AND PARTNER WITH HIM WORKING ON NATIONAL SERVICE ISSUES, FOR EXAMPLE. I THINK PRESIDENT BIDEN CHALLENGED US TO DO TWO THINGS — DELIVER RELIEF TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE FOR THE ONGOING PANDEMIC AND RECESSION CAUSED BY IT, AND FIND WAYS TO WORK ACROSS THE AISLE. THE URGENCY OF THE ISSUE MEANS HE IS MOVING AHEAD AND WE ARE MOVING AHEAD WITH THIS $1.9 TRILLION BILL THAT HAS A BROAD SUPPORT AMONGST VOTERS OF ALL BACKGROUNDS AND PARTIES.
