Today's theatrics are shocking. Thirty-five million jobs are lost. Businesses and livelihoods are ruined. While American grocers, nurses, and workers kept America going, Democrats kept Congress in hiding for the past 3 weeks. Hiding is fear; it is not leadership. When we finally reconvened, we get this--Politico summed it up best: ``Neither this bill nor anything resembling it will ever become law--it is a Democratic wish list filled up with all the party's favored policies.'' Is this a joke? Because it certainly isn't based on reality. Reality would be working here for the last 3 weeks, examining each problem our Nation faces, and working together to find the best solutions. That shouldn't be all that difficult since, I would presume, we still have the same goal: mitigate the virus and save our economy and society. Right? That is still our goal, isn't it? If it is, then stop playing games. Mr. Speaker, $3 trillion of virtue signaling to your base is no way to govern in the midst of a crisis, and you know it.
