I was thinking about why McConnell and the GOP would want to be seen as not supporting the millions of Americans who are unemployed due to the pandemic. Of course they don't care about them, but it seems like bad politics to appear not to care during this crisis.
Then I thought that perhaps they hope there will be an economic crash! If the GOP is resigned to losing this fall, why not saddle the Democrats with a horrible economy so they can spend their time out of power hammering those in power for the bad economy the GOP created. It’s not like I’m going out on a limb here! It’s the same playbook as 2008… and that worked well for them!
