1.9 TRILLION PACKAGE IS OBSCENE
From Member …John
This is obscene!!
Why isn’t this publicized so that the American People can see just outside the box our politicians really are? How is 90% of this remotely connected to Virus Relief? Look at #17! They included a nice raise for themselves!
Now we know why the Republicans didn’t like it………..

Now you will know why Republicans are blocking this 2.2 trillion-dollar congressional bill! Hard to believe but look it up on the Congressional website for HR 748 from 116th Congress. Here’s the direct link: https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/house-bill/748
American population: 330,483,530
Stimulus bill: $2,000,000,000,000 ($2 Trillion)
Dividing the cost by every American is $6,051.74 The government could have given every person over $6,000, but instead will give $1,200 to each adult under a certain income. Want to know where the missing 96% of your tax dollars went? Here you go. . .
1. $300,000,000 for Migrant and Refugee Assistance pg.. 147

8. $435,000,000 for mental health support
9. $30,000,000,000 for the Department of Education stabilization fund/ because that will keep people employed (all those zeros can be confusing, that’s $30 BILLION)
10. $200,000,000 to Safe Schools Emergency Response to Violence Program
11. $300,000,000 to Public Broadcasting / NPR has to be bought by the Democrats.

Gotta go for a walk in the woods now and scream. These people are truly the scum of the Earth.
Might be good time to call Dem representatives in Red states and remind them they are up for elections in under 2 years.
