I don’t understand. Why are the democrats blocking the $250B for small businesses? I thought they were all for small business?

[quote]Democrats don’t want to sign off on the $250 billion increase without also adding hundreds of billions for hospitals, cities, states and food stamp recipients. They also want to ensure that half of the increase goes through community banks, emergency grants and other programs aimed at underserved communities.[/quote]

Trump has said he supports most of these items. This is essentially a McConnell ploy to blame Democrats for not passing his legislation.

@windinhishair You hit it on the money. McConnell and the Republicans are not for this, but are trying to blame the democrats.
