Senate negotiations failed for now.  I expect the market to have a hissy fit tomorrow morning, and for that to focus our legislators minds.  It doesn’t help that senators are testing positive and/or self quarantining.  And many of the senators there are of course in the high risk group.

Just great. How many will die because of their lack of action? Even a day makes a different at this point, right? It's no wonder congress's approval rating hovers in the teens.

Don’t think this will make a difference in response; it will make a difference on the economic aftermath and the death of the downturn.

Something will pass in the next couple days.  Remember, TARP initially failed in the House and then passed a few days later.

BC

Then again, there was the "pass the bill so we can find out what's in it" mentality. 

And frankly, people WILL die from the economic fallout.
