House Democrats' latest coronavirus relief proposal unveiled Tuesday includes more than $3 trillion in new spending, amounting to the biggest and most expensive aid package yet to deal with the global pandemic, Fox News has learned.

Of the more than $3 trillion package, about $1 trillion would go to state, local and tribal governments, according to three sources briefed on the proposal.

Another round of $1,200 stimulus payments also would go out to most Americans under the plan, with a maximum of $6,000 per household.

I wish Trump would say:

The House voted today to ask the taxpayers Of the United States of America for $3trillion more for Covid financial help.......and they STILL don’t want us opening the economy! CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT??? The Government isn’t receiving what we usually get in taxes because so many are no longer working. WE CANNOT AFFORD ANYMORE ‘STIMULUS’ AS PEOPLE AREN’T SENDING IN ANY MONEY TO PAY FOR THIS!!

Sometimes you have to hit the citizenry right in the kisser, before they understand what is really going on.

The DNC probably asked for 4 and the GOP said 3 and deal. It's only a few TRILLIONS.

I am watching America die in front of me. My sadness is personal but the ultimate sadness is the children.

Personally don’t mind the extra unemployment. First time in over 50 years I took it.

When they fire, remove, ban and deport all the H1B, L1, H4EAD and OPT trash from this country and I can get a job in my field, then I will be strongly opposed to any such stimulus. As it is, after 35 years in the IT field, I’m looking at minimum wage subsistence jobs that will not even support me, let alone my family.

Nothing to worry about. The Republican Senate will clean out all the useless pork and the vote-by-mail scam. /s

No. This massive waste is an act of pure evil that will harm our children and our grandchildren. It’s time to stop tax-and-spend and start being responsible.

As much as I could use a stimulus bump...

I’d much rather see our entire country back up, open, and operating. I make a lot more that that paltry $1200 check. WE need to stop the deflationary spiral.

Let me work...let me have my pursuit of happiness back!

Oh...wait...that’s a God given thing ain’t it. Hmmm...seems there’s a miscommunication with them government folks.

A decade ago I was working as a consultant for one of the larger southwestern tribes. Sitting in a Tribal Council meeting I heard the Chairman vehemently proclaim that the Tribe was absolutely sovereign and didn’t have to do anything demanded of them by the Feds. Within the hour the same person was essentially demanding that the BIA fully fund the Tribes extensive wish list because of the feds “Trust Responsibilities”. Every Council member agreed with both statements,

Nancys’ ice cream stash is running low. How could you say no to the poor woman. Those twin 14k fridges are much more efficient when loaded up with ice cream. This could actually save the environment if we help her out.
