If he is going down he will want to take as many people as he can with him. Or, try to be the hero and send them back to add stimulus checks that would have his signature.

He's wanted that when Congress was bickering back and forth and wouldn't even send anything to his desk for the last 6 months. Now the Republicans and Dems know they HAVE to work together. I wouldn't doubt he vetos it out of spite. And in this case I can't say I blame him.

These packages are a huge fail anyway. Would have been much better (and cheaper) to send all w-2 filers checks every month instead of the programs and bureaucracy they added. Rent would get paid (no need for eviction moratorium), food could still be purchased, etc. I'm not for handing money out to people generally, but I'd much rather it be handed to the public tax-payers and put back into the economy than used as cheap capitol for large, or successful businesses, squandered or lost in the system, or otherwise wasted.

The only thing in the packages that might be useful is the money to the states for vaccinations and PPE expenditures. All the paycheck protection programs were garbage as was the additional unemployment. Just give that money directly to tax payers.
