House Passes $2 Trillion Emergency Relief Bill by Voice Vote After Hostile Debate
Townhall.com ^ | March 27, 2020 | Cortney O'Brien

The CARES Act, the $2 trillion coronavirus emergency relief bill that serves as Phase Three of Congress's coronavirus relief efforts, has passed the House of Representatives. It is the largest stimulus package in U.S. history and aims to provide funding for hospitals, and targeted relief for small businesses. The successful vote comes after hours of cantankerous debate, in which one unhinged Democratic representative was ruled " out of order " on the House floor.

Once the measure finally passed, the entire House erupted - in a positive way.

WOW and just like that, the motion is adopted.

Entire House on its feet.

Have not seen unity like this on a major,tough bill in a long long time.


The monumental vote was emphasized by the following photo. It's not often we see scenes like this.

I think it was a Michigan rookie by the name of Hailee Stevens (D).

-- What was todays vote? --

On voice vote, zero NAY votes in the House.

The question is whether or not half of the House was present.

It was just a voice vote, no numbers tabulated.

My savings were already slim because of turmoil in the job area, and there’s nothing left now.

It’s funny how many of the Freepers here ...


Hope you find all the food, shelter, health, and wealth you and your family need, and speedily; really disappointed in a lot of posters' comments who don't realize or don't care how vulnerable millions of fellow Americans and people who love God are. Left wing nuts and right wing nuts are both nuts. The bill was a compromise; no group gets everything they desire but getting help quickly is necessary to calm markets, employers, and avert a Great Depression (which would probably give Democrats all branches of govt).

Sorry to hear about your situation. If I heard correctly, you might be able to get unemployment ins. My SIL owns a small business and I believe he’s going to collect, as are his 1099 independent contractors. That’s not been done before.

Your children, grandchildren and great grandchildren will despise you for allowing this fiscal irresponsibility to happen.

Thanks God the Rats didn’t try and jam amendments in there today that added back all the vote harvesting & pork they wanted.

If they did, they would have been eviscerated in November. They will be back to try and get that crap later.
