Wanna go another round of stimulus rope-a-dope? House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said on the Sunday talk shows that she thinks a Covid stimulus deal could be reached within 48 hours. So we’re about halfway through that deadline.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has signaled that they would come up in price to $1.8 trillion, much closer than they have ever been to a midpoint. But no one hold their breath, okay? Seriously don’t.
