Multi tasking and division of attention is not something modern day politics/politicians is/are adept at. Republicans will do everything they can to get a nomination vote ASAP and Democrats will do everything to try to drive the narrative of the double standard. If anyone thinks Senators, from either side, have October 1 circled on their calendar with an “last day to act” written in red marker, you’re being naive. I would love to be wrong but I don’t think the Dems would cut any deal at this point if it would be any help to Trump/Republicans and Nov 3.

Thats easy, the same way everything has been funded since ww2. The government sells bonds and then increases the money supply. The ensuing inflation turns todays major expenditures into tomorrows chump change. This can continue as long as the economy is expanding. Population growth is the key factor since machines haven't learned to want services and consume products.

The Air Carrier Worker Support Extension Act would:

You can track this bill at this link: https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/116/s4634

It is "a start" and kudos to the few Senators who decided to take action.

Also, is it too out of the box for the 11B to be the Feb-March PSP installments?

Correct. From B. Woodward’s new book, Rage: “We need three percent gross domestic product growth, or we are out of business” - Mick Mulvaney, director of the Office of Management and Budget.

It all hangs on the money tree.
