It was a stand alone bill https://twitter.com/SpeakerPelosi/st...26003892715522

Everything except the funding needed for the COVID relief checks.

Just a few examples.
First off you appear to be mixing the spending bill with the Covid relief bill.

Nope, that's the total budget. What you mention appears to be 3 million each I believe.

But that's not the question. These bills were already signed. Then House voted to change the checks to $2000. Did they change anything else?

Did they change anything else besides the checks?? Should I switch to another language or something?

It was a standalone book, you might want to fact check yourself, or just scroll up and read my post

You should probably learn to comprehend English, first.

Pelosi refused to ever pass a stand alone COVID relief check bill. Instead, she insisted on a completely unnecessary 6,000 page porkulous spending bill.

Well she should be able to get her chance again since Biden promised another $2k to everyone.

Nah, that should be you actually.

Irrelevant information. The bills were passed, signed, end of story. Then came the change to $2000. And considering how are you reacting, that was the only change, correct?

P.S. Lastly about the "article" - starts with a 900 billion dollar Covid relief bill, then talks about 1.4 trillion mixing the two. Needless to say I didn't need to read it.

P.S.2 Speaking of "porkulous", the 550 billion no-strings-attached corporate pork package of the March bill was just that. All absorbed, and of course layoffs still happened quickly after.
