Congress waits

As congress fights over federal funding to states and protecting businesses from law suits and spends valuable time discussing minimum wage and money to help performing arts the checks for those unemployed fail to go out. If the goal was to help the unemployed they could send out the checks and argue about the rest later. But each side sees this pile of money as a way to finance their favorite pet projects so nothing gets done. That is our government at work. Of course while this is going these people come out on TV and express their concern for the unemployed.
