Republicans had their say.
“Instead of working with Republicans and Democrats, President Biden tried this go-it-alone approach to allow Speaker [Nancy] Pelosi to write a bill behind closed doors, bring the bill forward, not allowing a single Democrat to file an amendment on a $1.9 trillion spending bill in the House,” said House Republican Whip Steve Scalise in the aftermath, striking out against plans to get relief checks to inmates in federal prison.
“The Boston Marathon bomber gets a $1,400 check in this bill and we’re borrowing that money from our children,” Mr. Scalise declared.
Relief bill or not, the coronavirus still looms large in the lives of Americans, despite promising news that the health crisis is improving. Old habits are not going away.
