It's only a win-win from the political perspective of the house majority. From the perspective of the public good, legislation needs to pass. The people will not really benefit from another political missile being added to one side's arsenal, they need working legislation.

So tell your Senator to pass the bill, then.

Any negative aspect here is entirely on the heads of the Republican senate majority for being worse than useless about any kind of public relief. They could easily get ahead of this thing by passing a lesser bill that provides some or temporary benefits, but that would mean helping people instead of corporations.
