While it may be little more than a media tactic in this election year, White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows last this week told reporters there’s been so little progress between Republicans and Democrats on a fourth COVID 19 economic stimulus bill, he’s just not sure if Congress can enact a compromise bill before the Senate recesses next week until September 8.
If Meadows’ “guess” turns out to be correct – that the GOP-controlled Senate heads home to campaign without a new stimulus sitting on the president’s desk — then the Republican party, in my book, officially qualifies as the party politically dumber than a box of rocks, as my mom used to say.
