  1. Of course. It’s a no brainer to get our economy back. We can’t fail because he won’t…..”THE RISK IS NOT DOING TOO MUCH, IT’S NOT DOING ENOUGH” …Joe Biden.

  2. Americans would rather go back to work properly vaccinated or with the high quality half face and full face respirators always required for this type of airborne contagion posing imminent danger to life and health and it keeps mutating to more dangerous variants. These much better masks still need a P100 filter cartridge that screws onto the exhaust valve seat to prevent virus transmission from infected wearers. Joe, please put the cash and effort into getting us safe working conditions and we wouldn’t need “charity” that we’ll have to pay back with interest in future taxes.

    1. If it was that easy, EVERYONE would do it… No one WANTS this to keep going but until EVERYONE takes it seriously, nothing will change.

    2. @Noreb It could be that easy if the president would use the Defense Production Act to make the proper respirators available at their normal price but with another P100 filter designed to fit the exhaust valve. That extra filter might cost $7 above the $35 for a good half face respirator. Just add a pair of $6 anti-fog goggles and wash your hands before you take off the goggles and mask.

  3. It’s the Republican’s in Congress that don’t give a sh*t that American citizens are suffering!
    United State Citizens are desperate for help and Congress is turning away!

    1. “socialism” is what the republican cult has been taught to parrot whenever help is offered the american public and small companies but not a peep out of them when republicans gave corporations and the wealthy tax cuts till now they pay virtually nothing now!!!

  4. The last time the senate used reconciliation, you had a tax break, but still paid more than millionaires. He’ll have to use reconciliation.

    1. Agreed and what is it with mainstream media acting like he’s asking too much and how they should compromise with republicans and make a deal. As if Mitch McConnell EVER compromised with Obama or even PELOSI during the 6 years of Obama and last 4 with Trump. They have NO say in this bill. No way should it be broken. Trump did the same to pass the tax cut for the rich. Why aren’t they more supportive ? A lot of them are millionaires or married to them

  5. If Biden deserves to shine then so be it. That’s in response to the video title, and Alcindor could do it. So can he. The foxpigs are looking to do the “you did it to me, now I did it to you” game.

  6. This is what the American people need! The American people has not been thought of in the last 4 years.

  7. The question is: the United States too big to Fail??? Our leaders need to lead US. We put you ‘in power’ to head this ‘trainwreck’ safely into the station. Land this for working trump voters, working independent voters and working democratic voters.

  8. Democrat need to do this without the Republican Party and let it be knowing they don’t want to help American people who is in real need for a relieve.

    1. In 2022 Democrats should use this fact at every campaign rally! They should shout, “WHO ACTUALLY HELPED YOU AND WHO DIDN’T?” This isn’t partisan, we ALL need help on both sides yet Republicans don’t want to help us..

  9. I see americans in food lines like it’s the great depression now. Either do something or get out of politics! Your number one job in a democracy is to take care of your voter’s needs!

  10. A call to ACTION for every American to call their Reps/Sens to vote for the COVID Relief bill. The time is now for relief to those sufferings.
    Families need money for food/shelter/meds/rent/ mortgages. Let’s all Help each other. The time is now and WE are all of the same Party. The of People who Care about Each Other.

  11. “If you see a man on the edge of a cliff, don’t get close. You’ll turn a suicide into a homicide.” Intriguing.
