I have to admit that I'm baffled by the Trump/McConnell strategy of stonewalling on aid to hospitals and state governments. I get that they have bad intentions, but what's the political logic? 1/ https://t.co/AG18DolgOk — PolitiTweet.org

Another way to think about this. US consumers around 7.5 b barrels of oil per year. So a (say) $20 price rise would be a tax on Americans of $150 billion a year. How many workers might this benefit? ~ 150 K. Hospitals employ 5 million; s&l govt 16 million 6/ https://t.co/PJC1mdS2V4 — PolitiTweet.org

First of all, Dems are obviously right to demand that aid. State budgets are in desperate straits, as are hospitals. No reason to wait, especially since they can't trust McConnell to act later 2/ https://t.co/lJgLG2uAy7 — PolitiTweet.org
