I agree but it wouldn't matter as the Repugs would just demand negotiations be secret anyway. Voters didn't punish them for blocking stimulus yet, why would they now?

I think there should be permanent live cams in the senate and house chambers and in any committee rooms. We elect them and pay their salary.

I mean I don't require a mind reading machine to know that Senate Republicans don't want to send checks again and want liability protections for biz.

"The public should be able to see who is holding stimulus checks hostage & demanding immunity for big corporations exposing workers to COVID "
LOL
Yeah, it's not like we don't know. I'm looking at YOU, Mitch.

Yes, we know, but most of the ignorant Trump base has no idea.

This^^^^^
I say it a lot on these forums. We need to get accountability back to our elected officials. Holding them publicly adds accountability as in if you don’t agree go on record why you don’t agree.

Funny thing is I bet most of us are okay with reduced accountability for businesses regarding COVID, we just want something of equal value in return.
This shouldn’t be a sticking point.

I think even if they were somehow miraculously made aware of it, they'd hand-wave it away once they knew POC weren't getting stimulus checks either--give that money to Daddy Corporate, he knows how to spend it better than we do anyhow!
