Arkanas Gov. Asa Hutchinson (R), also head of the National Governor’s Association, said he was in favor of another federal aid package when asked about it on CNN Thursday.
“In terms of the vaccinations, yes, We want federal help in terms of vaccine administration,” Hutchinson said. “We’re in a good position, but we can do better and that assistance will be helpful.”
Hutchinson’s remarks signal support for another bill — a different position from many Senate Republicans, who have backed away from Biden’s $1.9 trillion COVID-19 stimulus package. Eight Republican senators have suggested that they may vote for the legislation, but that the size of the bill should be pared down to garner their support.
Some Senate Republicans have pushed to cut the amount of vaccine funding in the bill from $20 billion, saying that last month’s $8.75 billion allocated for the effort covered a chunk of what was needed.
Not necessarily repub, but definitely the middle states. They are the most liquid, they are the convergent point, they determine policy. It is right in the charts, but ask most economists and they all think the Swamp is where it happens.
So, we can tolerate the yapping economists who got this wrng, but right or wrong, this is where optimum policy lies, the middle states.
