$600? What's that going to do?

[AntonToo]

$600 × 328 million = $196.8 billion

This bill is for $900 billion.

Guess who's getting that other $700+ billion.

$700M to Sudan
$500M to Israel
$453M to Ukraine
$135M to Burma
$85.5M to Cambodia
$130M to Nepal
$10M to Pakistani "Gender Programs"
$1.4B for "Asia Reassurance Initiative Act"
$1,000,000,000 to Smithsonian
$40,000,000 to Kennedy Center
$154,000,000 to Natnl Art Gallery
$167,000,000 to Natnl Foundation of Arts and Humanities
$14,000,000 to W. Wilson Center

Veto the bill.

Wtf? What you just listed doesn't even add up to 5, nevermind 700 billion

 

[hjmick]

Thanks to the democrats $600 check will be going out it appears. President trump wanted alot more....he was correct here. It should have been alot bigger. If you want to stimulate the economy and help people $600 doesn't do much. Might pay 1/2 the rent. When it comes time to help people we sure put the brakes on.

Thanks to Mitch McConnell you’re only going to get $600

FTFY

He is lucky there is money in it at all. Pelosi and schumer didnt care about stimulus this time.

Don't you love they way Pelosi described the $600.00 as "significant" but derided the $1,000.00 bonuses some employees received from their employer as a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act passed in 2018 as "crumbs?"


$600 × 328 million = $196.8 billion.

This bill is for $900 billion.

Who's getting that other $700+ billion?

$700 million to Sudan

$10 million for "gender programs" in Pakistan

$300 million for fisheries

$75 million each to the National Endowment for the Arts and The National Endowment for the Humanities

$7 billion for broadband, including funding for those struggling to afford internet access and for service providers to remove and replace telecommunications equipment manufactured by Chinese companies labeled national security threats.

$3.2 billion for the Federal Communications Commission to provide a new emergency broadband benefit of $50 per month to low-income families and recently laid-off or furloughed workers.

$975 million for a Latino Museum and a Women’s Museum (not that those aren't noble endeavors...)

This list just barely scratches the surface...


And yes, I realize that this was, in the end, an omnibus bill and not a pandemic stimulus specific bill, but should it have been? Should they have been slapping in their pet projects and other pork just because they knew the pandemic package was attached and the bill would pass?

Truth is, I don't need the money as I have not stopped working. Whatever I get will go to charity (none of you qualify as a charity, so don't even try... LOL), but how much of this bill will stimulate anything other than message board arguments and finger pointing?

Trump has been AWOL from the negotiations for weeks. Your post is fantasy.

This is the same bill the gop offered back in July that pelosi turned down cuz she didn't wanna give trump a victory
Be nice if you go your facts straight

Wasn't that after Pelosi's house passed a bill 3 months before that the Senate never even considered?

It would be nice if you got your facts straight.

Full disclosure, I don't get any money because I make more in a week than most of these marxist shitstains make in a year. But you can always count on Nanzi to **** over the American people. Looks like she's enamored with African cock at this time and by God why shouldn't she be.... hmm?

Here's to hoping that filthy animal gets the kung flu and takes an agonizing week to be slowly recalled back up satan's asshole.

Absolutely no money going to restaurants and bars but millions to comedy clubs and the Kennedy Center.

Also family members of illegals not only get $600, but also the retroactive $1200 we got before.

Trump should veto the goddamned thing.

Trump should veto the bill and then sign an executive order sending relief to United States citizens only and cutting out all the pork. Then he should send the pork to the middle east.
