Much of America is quarantined at home, the public is so panicked there's a run on toilet paper, the country desperately wants reassurance, and Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer decide to take a bipartisan rescue bill as a political hostage.
That's the display of Democratic leadership in a crisis the nation received on Monday as Senate Democrats blocked a $1.8 trillion bill that has urgent money for workers, hospitals, small business and, yes, even larger companies threatened by the forcible shutdown of the U.S. economy.
Mrs. Pelosi returned from recess to say the House will write its own bill, and Mr. Schumer then blocked the Senate from even debating the bill that his fellow Democrats co-wrote.
Mr. Schumer suddenly claims there isn't enough "Transparency" in the bill's replenishment for the Exchange Stabilization Fund, but the rules are essentially the same as they've been during previous Democratic and Republican administrations.
Democratic cynicism was further exposed when Mrs. Pelosi released her 1,100-page bill Monday.
The Pelosi bill follows through by including an ideological wish list that has nothing to do with the coronavirus.
The Pelosi bill would require any loan recipient to provide permanent paid leave and a $15 minimum wage.
