The CARES Act, the $2 trillion coronavirus emergency relief bill that serves as Phase Three of Congress's coronavirus relief efforts, has passed the House of Representatives. It is the largest stimulus package in U.S. history and aims to provide funding for hospitals, and targeted relief for small businesses. The successful vote comes after hours of cantankerous debate, in which one unhinged Democratic representative was ruled " out of order " on the House floor.
Once the measure finally passed, the entire House erupted - in a positive way.
WOW and just like that, the motion is adopted.
Entire House on its feet.
Have not seen unity like this on a major,tough bill in a long long time.
The monumental vote was emphasized by the following photo. It's not often we see scenes like this.

Don’t you mean ‘let the vultures loose’?
There’s a whole lot of carrion and road kill to feast on.
Bring your own napkins!
Was it a Roll Call vote?
Or, do these schmucks get to hide behind another voice vote?
Wiped you out financially?
How can that be?
Of the US deaths NYC accounts for 36%.
Once again we pay a steep price for that one city.
Was that vote-by-mail in this bill or in OBummer’s?

Or was it 2?
Just a voice vote.
Thanks.
Not surprised.
DC crooks strike, again.
Watch their pocketbooks.....they’re soon to be spilling over. :-(
According to my calculations, I get nothing and will probably be asked to give more. I’m blessed in any event. :)
It was a voice vote. Representative Massie of Kentucky tried to get a recorded vote but he was voted down. On a voice vote. He then tried to get a quorum count. He was voted down. On a voice vote. No other Republicans backed him up.
Supposedly Pelosi had made sure that there were 216 members ( a quorum) in the chamber but we will never know for certain.
I want to see what’s in the Bill and what ‘Pork’ and poison pills the Democrats inserted...
Small business loan forgiveness: If I’m reading this correctly my business can get a loan through June 30 to pay for compensation, rent, and utilities or about $1.1 million per month for April, May and June. Doesn’t matter if we need it or not.
Take out a loan for $3 million, pay interest of about $35k and with loan principal forgiven make almost $3 million over the next three months...even if we don’t need it.
Is this a great country or what????
AOL headline—under a picture of Nancy Pelosi: “House passes largest economic relief package in modern U.S. history”

Well, let’s see:
Lost job and can’t get unemployment.
Bills still keep coming in.
Still have to eat.
All attempts to find other jobs are stymied by this quarantine.
My savings were already slim because of turmoil in the job area, and there’s nothing left now.
It’s funny how many of the Freepers here have the attitude of “Screw you, Jack. I got mine.”
Thanks j.
Yes....I had posted, earlier, about the efforts Rep Massie was trying to make, to force a Roll Call/recorded vote.
At least someone tried to offer transparency on this Porkulus bill. :-(
The House just passed a bill making it possible for the dims to really steal the election this fall.
And we fell for it.
Where have you been. We have been controlled by the communist Democrats, communist MSM, communists DOJ, FBI and most other government agencies for years. Only Trump has seen it squarely in the eyeball before he became President and he as President is trying to save America.
This is how banana republics are run.
