Quote:The Senate left Washington, D.C., on Thursday until September — the latest sign that a deal on a fifth coronavirus relief package is, at least, weeks away.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) had kept the chamber in session this week, which was technically the first in its August recess, as a last-ditch attempt to create space for the administration and congressional Democrats to get an agreement. 

But with talks stalemated, senators argue there is little reason for them to keep holding daily, roughly 1 1/2-hour sessions. The House already left town and isn't expected to return until Sept. 14.

Democrats have failed to trick Republicans this time !!

They have been doing their best to sneak in all sorts of BS legislation into a new COVID19 Bill but it didn't work !!

COVID19 victims will have to wait !!

Guess Democrats don't see the Virus as all that important anymore eh

The goal is hyperinflation.

I've got gold.  It's too heavy to do anything with other than bury it.

Copper-covered lead will probably be in higher demand when it finally gets down to the jiggy.  Stockpiling that ... oh Hell yeah!!

well didn't the senate sneak in 30 billion in on their version for the pentagon. there should be nothing else in the bills except covid relief.  none of the 535 members of congress deserve to be there.
