COVID Stimulus has passed......Thank a Democrat

[colfax_m]

Once again, Trump proposed a stimulus bill only. Democrats didn’t want to have anything to do with it. First because they don’t care about the people at all. Secondly they didn’t want to give Trump any momentum before the election and lastly, because they wanted to sneak in some pork into any “stimulus” bill to trick the masses. Ignorance is bliss I guess.

Trump didn’t do shit. The lazy asshole could have been heading negotiations with Pelosi and McConnell but the snowflake can’t even talk to Pelosi.

Now, want to keep avoiding your double standard on what is and isn’t pork?

The bill is 5500 pages long. Cut everything except stimulus checks and see how much pork there is.

You are simply making excuses for the idiot Democrats.

So when you say it’s mostly pork, that’s not actually intended to be a factual statement?

And you call us ignorant?

A long list of initiatives is clearly related to the pandemic, however.

About 22% of the total bill comes from the $422 billion set aside for $1,400-per-person stimulus checks. Another 13% ($246 billion) is for extending additional unemployment funding of $400 a week.

A combined 12% is going to:

• Subsidized COBRA for laid-off workers.
• Affordable Care Act subsidies for the next two years.
• Expanded nutrition assistance to replace school lunch programs during the pandemic.
• Funding for testing and contact tracing.
• Disaster Relief Fund increases and covering COVID-19-related funeral expenses.
• Grants to airlines and contractors to freeze layoffs through September.
• Defense Production Act funding for medical supplies.
• Grants for restaurants and bars that have lost revenue in the pandemic.
• Economic Injury Disaster Loan Advance grants of up to $10,000 per business.

Another $519 billion – 27% of the total – is going to state and local governments and schools, much of which will make up losses related to the pandemic and help schools reopen. Republicans note much of the school funding, however, won’t be spent immediately.

If the government and school aid is included in this category, about 85% of the American Rescue Plan is pandemic-related, according to a breakdown by the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget.

Um, yes, it is a factual statement. 422 billion of the 1.9 trillion is for stimulus checks. That means 78% of the bill is for other things. That qualifies as “most” by my standards.

When you get a $1400 Check.......Thank a Democrat, not a single Republican voted for it

When you get your COVID Vaccine.....Thank a Democrat, not a single Republican voted for funding to help communities run vaccine programs

When a local business stays open because of funding......Thank a Democrat, not a single Republican voted to provide struggling businesses with funding

Senate passes Biden's $1.9 trillion Covid relief plan after all-night votes

The Senate passed President Joe Biden's $1.9 trillion Covid relief plan on Saturday, after an all-night "vote-a-rama" and a 12-hour struggle to get one Democrat to support the party's plan on a critical issue.

When you get your COVID Vaccine.

Already got mine, as have my brothers and sister.

and children, and grandchildren.

and 'democrats' had nothing to do with it.

Selfish as ever, I see

I got my vaccine so fuk funding to help millions of others get theirs

If that were what its about everyone would cheer.

Its the rest of that Chinese virus bill that's the killer.

The Chinese virus bill is very small. The rest is big fat pork.

Helping struggling families and unemployed is pork?
Helping small business is pork?
Helping schools reopen is pork?
Helping local communities is pork?

It is a Democratic wishlist, most of which has NOTHING to do with COVID stimulus.

Bailing out imbecile liberal states from erroneous spending is pork.

270 million in Arts and Humanties Endowments is pork

200 million for museums and libraries is pork.

50 million in family planning funding is pork.

Expansion of Medicaid and Obamacare is pork.

Multiemployer pension plans bailouts is pork(payoffs)

Loan forgiveness for students is pork.

I continue to say it, but Democrats LOVE the ignorant masses. They could pass ANY bill that gave away other people’s money as one of the line items.

You really think most of it is pork when your examples amount yo less than one tenth of one percent of the bill?

You’re off by orders of magnitude. Don’t tell me about ignorant masses when you’re lead to believe that most of the bill is pork by pointing out programs that are minuscule compared to the entirety of the bill.

state funds are 350 BILLION. more billions to prop up retirement accounts,

LOL..good ole’ media spin to the rescue. I love the way they add in the government and school stuff to play on the sympathies of the ignorant. Teachers aren’t teaching. They won’t even be using the money now because they don’t need it . It has NOTHING to do with COVID nor educating students and eveyrhting to do with bolstering the teacher’s union.

State budgets have been hammered by COVID. It's entirely related to the pandemic.

Yer cute when you are in the middle of getting your ass handed to you.

You wouldn’t be so afraid of answering a simple question if I were “getting my ass handed to me”.

I'll answer your dumbass question as soon as you show me my quote saying the rich don't pay taxes, the poor do.
