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.

All that foreign aid is to get dollars out to the rest of the world so we have that one world currency. Of course politicians line their pockets with it as well.

It’s a Trump admin initiative.

$1.5bil per year for “security initiatives”.

And here's the real kicker in the rear on this....if we sent every US citizen, regardless of need, a check for $600 that'd cost $198,600,000,000.

And we know if you make below 75k those are the only ones getting a check.

If we look at households with incomes below 75K there are 175,430,000. IF each received $600 that'd be $105,258,000,000

This isn't helping the average American. No way.

Remember Ethiopia (”We Are the World”). I think back in 1984..

I wonder how much actually got there to the skeleton stricken, fly infested people we all saw and donated to save.

There is so much wrong with what these ‘people’ are pushing... but I am preaching to the choir.

HIDDEN in the 5,893 page bill that Trump is anticipated to VETO is a provision that says: “Nullifies the President’s use of the Insurrection Act.”

What a joke. I do believe the president will veto this bill.

And he administered a well deserved swift kick in the ass to Mitch McConnell.
