Democrats’ “Stimulus” Bill Gives $600 to Suffering Americans – But Sends More Than $2 Billion to Africa and Asia

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi doesn’t care about middle class Americans who are suffering because of authoritarian Covid lockdown orders.

After months of stonewalling and playing politics, Pelosi finally agreed to a Covid relief bill that is expected to pass today.

Congress FINALLY agreed to hand out a $600 dollar check to every American after they ruined the economy and millions of lives.

The Covid stimulus bill is so big that it had to be wheeled across the halls of Congress

Lawmakers aren’t even reading the bill before voting on nearly $1 trillion dollars of spending.

Americans are only getting $600 so where is the rest of the money going?

$135 million to Burma $85.5 million to Cambodia $1.4 billion for “Asia Reassurance Initiative Act” $130 million to Nepal $700 million to Sudan $250 million in Palestinian aid $25 million for “gender programs” in Pakistan.

Another $40 million was set aside for the Kennedy Center.

President Trump in October said he would sign a stand alone bill for $1200 stimulus checks but lawmakers refused to work with him and now we know why.

But the 2 billion sent overseas will come back to the US as kickbacks to corrupt politicians and stimulate the economy like that.

And you can bet those dollars going to foreign countries are in actuality going to NGOs connected back to our Ruling Class.

I hope the President vetoes this Bill. It is fiscally irresponsible! Withhold funding from States that unconstitutionally shut businesses down and send that money to the people. Tell the Democrats, “What? I thought you guys live the idea of redistribution!”

Holy heck! We’ve undergone such an economic downturn due to COVID and these maniac libtard subhuman savages want to GIVE OUR MONEY to ASIA. What has Asia done for us lately, except send us a devastating illness? And this tremendous payoff of Asia (must be another of Biden’s schemes) so our hardworking Americans can get a whole $600 apiece from it? I’m not going to ask if the Dimmocommies are insane, because we already know they are out of their minds nuts, completely amoral, and care NOTHING for the American people. Look at how that lousy Pelosi very deliberately held up COVID aid for Americans who needed it. Who said we should sign this? Trail them by a rope around their ankles behind a boat off the Great Barrier Reef.

That’s 600 each is going to cost $150 billion. I don’t agree to sending money overseas when we are broke either but it is a misleading article.

I don’t think they are getting one and two billion dollars each in Africa and asia.

God forbid anyone mentions the $750 billion more that will be stolen by congressman and their families and corporations that don’t need it and organized crime.

We are 28 trillion dollars and if this is someone’s biggest worry on this board, they are very out of touch.

There will be kickbacks from that 2 billion and that needs to be stopped. Most foreign giving needs to be stopped until we have a balanced budget.

But this board needs to become more than a bunch of middle-aged men complaining like old ladies and posting valiant war and victory speeches while very likely doing nothing about the situation in the future just like nothing was done about the flags coming down and nothing was done about the statues coming down that are still coming down.

Have a good night

Family members of ubauthorized immigrants will get retroactive $1200, too, and $600.

Back of the envelope calculation suggests that the $600 alone will cost $200b. And that’s not counting the extended unemployment bennies. If the GOP had a spine, it would condition the $300/week unemployment extension on a moratorium with respect to state-level economic shutdowns.

Congress and DC get kickbacks from all the foreign countries so they give us as little as possible to keep us shut up.

It’s not a Democrat bill. The Republicans own it just as much. They throw 600 bucks to Americans and then shoot a firehose of money to foreign countries and all their corporate masters.

They feel the 600 relieves them of any duty to take their foot off of America’s throat. And read the tea leaves, it’s about to get worse. They are claiming a new strain of covid, and they are about to stall Biden.
They are about to eff us more in 2021 than in 2020.

It’s time for us to start taking direct mass participation actions to shut down DC. That’s to start.

If there was some sort of magic pill where every American taxpayer realized how badly they’ve been screwed by the political class, this country would undergo a societal convulsion that would make the French Revolution look like a dress rehearsal for the real thing.

The Democrats and Rinos only what power. They do not care about the American people. They made that clear. Didn’t they.

You’re correct, but there shouldn’t be a penny for other countries when America is as broke as it is. And Congress should receive no pay, in solidarity with all the Americans they have thrown out of work.
