Ep. 53 - COVID Relief, House Bills, and Passing the Torch Dec 07, 2020

Show notes

On this episode of FiredUp, Steve discusses:

Update on Covid and Vaccines coming to market.
Two bills from the house passed - one to change House and Senate Rules to require that a bill passed out of one body MUST be voted on (either up or down) by the other body. This eliminated "tabling" a bill for political reasons by either body. The second bill would move to place legislation conference meetings on broadcast such as C-Span so the public can be aware of negotiations on proposed legislation.
Do Republicans fear reprisal from Trump after he has left office for failing his "loyalty test"?
Democrats continue to "play softball in a hardball game". They need to get aggressive and tougher in dealing with the Republicans.
The time is long overdue for the American People to rise up and demand action from Government on Covid relief. The 900 billion proposal from the Dems should be a start with more to come in the Biden administration. We need real action step information from our elected leaders.
