Former Presidents receive $4,400,000 under the new stimulus bill...why?

[BlackFemaleArmyColonel]

Interesting.

[brownsfan]

Cuz Barky and Mike need mo’ money.

[Red Badger]

Obama needs a new stash......................

[Irenic]

WTF!

[PGR88]

This isn’t a “stimulus bill,” its America’s political class imitating an ANTIFA riot - a smash-and-grab and looting on a Federal scale.

[rktman]

It looks like it’s so they can pay their staff. Then again, why do they need a “staff”? And, if they have one, they should pay for it out of their own pockets. Which by now are pretty dang deep. Not soros deep, but deep.

With the Covid restrictions on travel and gatherings, how is Slick Willie expected to pull down those six figure speaking fees? C’mon, man!

[Colo9250]

Hillary needs a face lift and implants.

[cuz1961]

Apparently they all have a Hunter sized “ need” .

[MinorityRepublican]

A President and a First Lady should get Secret Service for 8 years. After that, they can pay for their own security.

[circlecity]

And remember, every living former President is already a multi-multi millionaire.

[MHGinTN]

BArky Soetoro needs the cash for his ‘community organizing’, aka his sedition work.

[nascarnation]

Workers and operating expenses at the Presidential libraries are paid by the fed gov. I know those aren’t cheap.
When I visited the BJ Clinton Double Wide Presidential Library in Little Rock, there was more security than getting on a airplane.
However the food in the cafeteria was excellent.

Hillary needs a whole lot more than that....

[dforest]

Nope, this is disgusting.

[JBW1949]

The annual salary of a Congressman is $174,000 per year...

Few enter office as millionaires.....

How do most all leave office as multi-millionaires????

Hmmmmmmmmm?????????

[JohnBrowdie]

because there is about to be six of them.

[HotHunt]

The president needs to veto this pork-laden bill and Congress need to start over from scratch.

[glimmerman70]

Is this for real.

House Voting Today on 5,600 Page Pork-Filled COVID Package No-One Has Read, McConnell Wants Unanimous Consent…

Posted on December 21, 2020 by Sundance

Good grief the UniParty is in full swing and they don’t even care what our opinion is about this massive $2.5 TRILLION (approximated because it hasn’t been scored) COVID/Omnibus spending bill that totals over 5,600 pages.  [LINK TO BILL]

The actual 5,600 page bill wasn’t populated for public review until shortly after noon this afternoon and staff had an issue putting it on-line.  Incredibly, and in keeping with the previous approach preferred by congress, the House plans on voting on this bill today; and Mitch McConnell wants the Senate to pass it by unanimous consent (no recorded votes).

My rough review shows an approximately 70/30 split on the $900+ billion COVID package.  Approximately 30 percent +/- of the bill will actually help working class families and businesses on Main Street.  Approximately 70 percent of the bill will go to political donors, special interests, environmental lobbyists, K-Street groups who wrote the bill, foreign interests, Wall Street and corporate beneficiaries.  [Scour the Bill Here]

(Via AP) The total price tag of the bill clocks in at at least $2 trillion, but the no one yet knows the bill’s final cost. That’s because the legislation was introduced just hours before the expected votes, Congress’s nonpartisan scorekeeper, the Joint Committee on Taxation, won’t have time to publish an estimate of the total of all the credits, deductions, and special preferences before the bill likely becomes law, according to Bloomberg News.

In addition to the many provisions on COVID-19 relief, the behemoth bill packages a wide variety of measures big and small, including a human rights bill focused on Tibet, the establishment of two new Smithsonian museums, a provision on “doping” in horse racing, and a measure that seeks to protect patients from surprise medical bills. The bill also funds the federal government through Sept. 30 of next year.

The House is expected to vote on the legislation later Monday before it heads to the Senate, where Senate leaders hope to pass it by unanimous consent. President Trump has indicated he’ll sign the bill. (LINK)
