What would that mean in practice? Six months? A year? Other metrics?
Meanwhile, we're almost at a year of every week unemployment claims being higher than the worst week of the Great Recession. 2/3 of the economy is fine, but the remaining third is suffering a catastrophe, a third that generally doesn't have much visibility in our system. I'd be fine with more targeted relief, but too much is far better than too little at this point.
edit: Albion is right, too, what does the GOP want? Get 10 GOPers together and offer a counter-proposal. Without that, they can stop bad faith process complaints.
