Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Tuesday announced that the House will remain in session until the parties have an agreement on another round of emergency coronavirus relief.

“We have to stay here until we have a bill,” Pelosi told lawmakers.
The surprise development reflects both the severity of the public health and economic crises caused by the coronavirus pandemic and the growing pressure Pelosi is facing from the moderate wing of her party, which is clamoring for leadership to vote on another aid package before Congress leaves town again for the elections.

Bla bla bla. Our government doesn’t represent us. I can’t stand ANY politician from any party. Just a bunch of priviliged elitist pigs who suck off the taxpayers hard work. They give us nothing. They do nothing for us. We gain no benefit whatsoever from these welfare cheats. Do we work for the government or does the government work for us? Ohh, the Speaker of the House threatened, they wont get any vacation until this issue is resolved. That’s so inhuman. They just came back from their long vacation and now they need another vacation to recoup from the first one. Do these reprobates ever work?! Why must we continue to pay their salary?
