As the human flystrip recently said, Democrats just want to make poor people more comfortable... but Republicans not so much:
House
Republicans on Thursday blocked an effort by House Democrats to approve
$2,000 stimulus payments for millions of Americans. Democrats were
seeking to advance the measure after President Trump demanded it on
Tuesday night, breaking with many of his fellow Republicans.
House
Democratic leadership attempted to advance the measure by “unanimous
consent,” but the effort was blocked by Republican leadership.
The desire to screw people other than those in their donor base being so strong, they disobeyed the wishes of their Dear Leader. Never forget that "Afflicting the afflicted, and comforting the comfortable" is the most powerful gene in their DNA.
