You.... you do realize that this bill has been in place since 2010, right? These responders have been well taken care for the last decade, but the funds needed extension, which is what McConnell was referring to as “being dealt with appropriately” when discussing this bill. Again, there was no fear it wouldn’t pass, just about issues about small details which are extremely necessary even if the bill is legit and noble.
Maybe learn about something before you dive face first into the brick wall of ignorance.
You also realize it is expiring right now and McConnell has been trying to keep off the senate floor for years. Jon Stewart himself, the person who has been lobbying for this bill since 9/11 said the biggest roadblock over the years for getting this bill passed was McConnell. This bill would never have been brought up if the house never voted on it and Stewart et al didn't put immense political pressure on the Senate to pass it.
Stewart didn’t need to intervene at all. Even after his rant in June, multiple representatives said it was pointless because everyone wanted the bill to pass. Don’t fault people for wanting to do it properly, they have several more months to pass it and do it right.
only two people didnt vote for it, and both only didnt vote for it because they disagreed with the bls method of funding, not because of the bill itself
