The longer they hide it, the worse the shock will be when data finally starts to flow again.

That's more or less what I was referring to, and Bernie seemed to think the same but now it appears the House will be back this week to vote. Also the agreement is weaker that it looked to me at first glance, I have reconsidered my support of it.

The House announced they are returning for votes this week. Looks like I was way off.

Maybe, but I wouldn't bet on it. This seems to have been negotiated in the Senate without Trump. The House is on recess during a national crisis, so I would not trust he will return promptly for this.

Then I will be wrong, but I will not regret not jumping on the bandwagon with everyone else before I understand it. We will know shortly

Maybe. maybe not. We do get SNAP for a year. I am not prepared to argue this to the last because I am not sure I am right, but there also might be a bigger plan. If Bernie is right, this would go a long way to getting the dems off the hook. I could be way off on this take

BERNIE ON THE *DEAL* with Centrist Dems: “That is a totally meaningless gesture. You can get 100 votes here and it won't mean anything because the House is not going to take it up.”

If Bernie is right and the House refuses to take it up, this is going to look a lot more like a win for the democrats.
