Tentative Good News

It appears Nancy Pelosi and the House Democrats took considerable justified flak for their Green New Deal/pork-laden Covid-19 bailout bill. It is reported this morning at JustTheNews that Pelosi has backed down, they write:

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Tuesday that she will attempt to pass the Senate's coronavirus economic stimulus package – putting aside the alternative, projected $2.5 trillion measure that she proposed.

The California Democrat said she'll try to pass the Senate's projected $1.8 trillion measure by unanimous consent, meaning House members can say yes without having to come to Capitol Hill to vote.

What we don’t yet know is whether the Pelosi “attempt” will be successful. One supposes any single firebrand House member could object and kill the supposed “unanimity.” Let us hope her “attempt” is not mere alibi creation, a real possibility.
