Trump halts stimulus package negotiations, crushing Chicago restaurants’ hopes for federal aid – ABC7 (Chicago)

The restaurant industry is the largest private sector employer in the state of Illinois, employing more than 594,000 people before the pandemic. "I've personally guaranteed every single thing, me and my husband. I have three kids. This is our future, this is our present," said Beverly Kim, whose Michelin-starred dining room hasn't seated a customer in nearly seven months. "We are very proud people and we don't like to ask for help. And we're asking for help."

Nancy Pelosi and Schumer and of course the nationwide Dems have to not put it towards pensions of states that do not know how to run a state–ILLINOIS is one. Nancy Pelosi put quite a bit of money in the first stimulus package towards useless not related to Covid at all. They just think free money!!.

So the Governor decides to cut off the restaurants’ lifeline by not allowing them to open. Next we see the article spin to Federal help is needed. Why not instead put the blame where the blame is due and that is right on Pritzker and Lightfoot. They caused the problem, not Trump yet ABC has to spin it into another orange man bad attack.
Seriously!

Nothing tosee here. Democrats normal way of operation. Screw everything up, blame someone else. Right now if it’s a rainy or cloudy day it’s Trump’s fault. Pritzger is the spawn of Satan who is causing economical pain and suffering in the restaurant biz. Lightfoot destroying Chicago block by block. Thank you to voters who voted for The Pig and Lightloafers.
