While the good people of, e.g., Georgia, struggle under the Covid Pandemic and find thousands of businesses closing down leaving hundreds of thousands of people unemployed and unable to meet their rent and other necessities of life, our swamp creatures in Congress pass a $ 2.3 trillion Covid Relief Bill with the majority of money going to foreign governments and unrelated domestic money laundering operations, innocuously referred to as “pork”, while Pelosi tosses a mere $600 crumb to struggling people who have had their lives and businesses wrecked by the pandemic.
Keep in mind our swamp creatures use these thousand-page plus “omnibus spending bills”, which no one intentionally has time to read, to funnel your tax dollars to their donors and powerful lobbyists. And you, the good people of Georgia, get the privilege of being taxed to finance these money laundering schemes and operations, in addition to being a victim of the pandemic.
I hope the good people of Georgia stand with President Trump in his threat to veto the Bill unless dramatic changes are made, including the removal of unrelated Covid “pork” which benefits foreigners and Congress’ donors, and adds meaningful financial relief to Georgia’s businesses and unemployed who have actually suffered during this pandemic.
Our government, once of the people, by the people and for the people, has been transformed into a government of politicians, by politicians and for politicians . . . witness the latest influence peddling fortune being made by the Biden criminal enterprise family.
"Americans have been suffering, so we need to let them eat cake," she said in front of Congress yesterday. "We closed down their businesses for the past nine months, so it's the least we can do. Really. I do mean that. The least."
Congress considered ice cream for every America, but Pelosi vetoed it as it was too expensive to give every American a $13 quart of the brand she eats. There was also talk of giving the option of vanilla cake, but that was shot down as being racist.
Too bad Trump would be vetoing the aid that was in HIS OWN budget proposal if he did. But you are 100% correct about it coming from the swamp that is Trumpworld
The Covid bill was tacked into the Omnibus budget bill with all the foreign aide. For once Rand Paul got what he wanted and he still shoots it down. No use trying to explain logic to Trump supporters though...
It will end up costing much more than the appropriated $$$$. Sen Chuck Schumer (NY) calls the stimulus bill "the single biggest victory in the fight against climate change to pass this body (Senate) in a decade." Not a chance Trump will sign it into Law.
I remember with the last stimulus. One law firm got 10 million with the paycheck protection program.
So they could still give their lawyers a paycheck.
But people still support career politicians. Who could not run a business if they tried.

It would help if you posted things remotely close to reality. There were two bills, a Covid relief bill and an omnibus budget bill. They were combined into one since neither one could have passed without the other. The money going to foreign aid is no different than similar bills in the past. If we are going to have conversations, let's have them based on reality.
Will the 99% ever wake up and rise up? I doubt it. I try to be hopeful, but it's hard to do sometimes.
