Democrats have blocked a quick re-up of the funding.

They're using it as leverage for funding elsewhere and more restrictions on lenders.

IMO they should allow the funding now and give Republicans an olive branch like Republicans gave them with the last phase.

It's really not the time for politics and playing the leverage game looks bad.

I don't see why no one is mentioning this. It's wrong when both sides do things like this.
