From Frances Langum:
The REPUBLICAN Governor of West Virginia tells Joe Manchin that the Covid crisis is so dire, that it doesn’t make sense to be “fiscally responsible at this point in time.”
West Virginia’s Republican Governor made headlines on CNN this morning.
Jim Justice told Poppy Harlow that Washington needs to forget about “fiscal responsibility” when it comes to a Covid package. The need is too great to be counting pennies and squeezing nickels: “…trying to be, per se, fiscally responsible, at this point in time, with what we’ve got going on in this country, if we actually throw away some money right now, so what? We have really got to move and get people taken care of.”
Maybe “Democrat” Joe Manchin could take a hint from his state’s Republican Governor that the time for obstruction to the Biden Covid Package is over.
