the people of the district of columbia send the i.r.s. more tax revenues than the people of 22 other states. and yet when it came time to write the formula for distributing emergency funds under the coronavirus, they weren't part of the kind of funding formulas they normally are. now, i asked about this because i thought maybe this would be a simple fix. i mean, surely in a bill of $2 trillion in emergency relief, we can do right by the people of the district of columbia and not shortchange them $700 million. and the answer i got back was no. no, no, this was not a mistake. this was not an oversight. that republican negotiators insisted on shortchanging the people of the district of columbia. and if i'm wrong about that, it would be a very easy fix in an amendment that could be offered by the majority leader, and i'm sure accepted unanimously, accepted unanimously, except for the fact that this actually was a point that was negotiated. now, madam president, i'm not going to hold up a $2 trillion emergency rescue package that is urgently n
