"We're not budging," Pelosi told Capitol Hill reporters. "They have to move. They have to move."
(Or, they don't and President Trump will authorize stimulus extensions until the election)
"Why should there be a bill that has far less [of] what the public needs?" Pelosi added. "We have that responsibility, and they're just going to have to come up with more money."
The comments came just hours before Pelosi was scheduled to speak by phone with White House chief of staff Mark Meadows — the first conversation between the sides since the talks broke down on Aug. 7.
That day, Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) had offered to reduce their initial $3.4 trillion demand by $1 trillion, but only if Republicans were willing to hike their opening bid of $1.1 trillion by the same $1 trillion — a proposal the GOP leaders quickly rejected.
Pelosi warned Thursday that if the Republicans' position remains unchanged her phone call with Meadows won't last long. -The Hill
Only an idiot or someone attempting to shift responsibility from failure announces their non negotiable position.
I think she's an idiot.
The Democrats are so stupid. If they wanted 3.4 trillion, they should have started their demands at 12 and then talked about how much they compromised to get it down to 4.
Personally, I think tomorrow's call will go far differently after Trump has had his say tonight. All he has to do is say: The checks are ready to go but Nancy won't approve them for issue.
