The U.S. Congress, particularly Democrats, are being slammed on social networking for failing to pass a bill to provide relief to Americans suffering under the current coronavirus outbreak (Covid-19). Many on social networking are slamming the head of Congress, Democrat from California, Nancy Pelosi. Reports indicate Pelosi took last week off, which delayed the vote, only for her party to tank it.

Many Americans are anxiously awaiting a $1,000 stimulus check for April and another in May, to help tie them over during quarantine/self-isolation. I have read complaints online from Americans who state they can't even afford to go to the supermarket, as they are not getting a paycheck during quarantine. Food stamps need to be issued on an emergency basis in the interim, to help people feed their families, while Congress squabbles over items that should not even be in the bill regarding Covid-19.

An item in the proposed coronavirus bill regarding elections, which has nothing to do with the virus and could have waited in order to quickly get the bill through to help Americans unemployed due to the outbreak.

Pelosi has tucked away items in the bill regarding elections and airplane emissions, which has absolutely nothing to do with the coronavirus. Meanwhile, Americans are suffering. I am of the belief this is highly irresponsible. Congress should debate said issues at a later date and focus on passing relief for people and businesses being impacted by the virus.

You've asked the public to quarantine, but are dragging your feet on giving them the means to feed their families and pay utilities at this difficult time. This behavior lacks compassion. Frankly, the lack of urgency in passing the bill is very alarming.
