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.

Somebody should cobble-up Pelosi giving us the finger in PhotoShop because that’s exactly what this is.

Makes me want to retch. I guess Trump could refuse to sign it but they will override him.

Yep, forget tar and feathers, just big hot vats of boiling tar to drop their wretched butts into. They have no real idea how much we hate them.

Back to Obama only not lite, Obama heavy.

Let suffering Americans eat cake.

And its only for 11 weeks.

I’d laugh if Trump vetoed it on “America First” policy.

VETO IT MR. Oresident. (sarc.)( The Dems are daring him.)

I have never met a single person Republican or Democrat in my entire life that was in favor of sending US taxpayer dollars to foreign countries. And yet, we send billions every year.

Not defending it, but a lot of that money gets spent on US agricultural and defense products, promoted by the ag and defense lobbies.

Trump offered $1.8 trillion in September. Pelosi declined in order to inflict injury and elect Biden. She will now settle for HALF the original offer

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

$250 million in aid to the (fake) Palestinians: aka Arabs ???

Aid for WHAT?? So they can train jihadists, Hezbollah/Hamas suicide bombers and produce more fake Israeli aggression propaganda stories/films and staged attacks to broadcast around the the world for sympathy that Israel is hunting down Palestinians for sport.

The money will undoubtedly go to the PLO/Palestinian National Authority for the purpose of offensive campaigns against Israel.

Screw them! Let the Arab League nations support their own!
