“$60 billion of which is reserved for community banks ...”

We know what this means, more payouts to Mad Maxine Waters and her filthy corrupt ghetto friends.

The Trump Administration gets to decide who gets the money.

They have left the decisions up to those good, loyal, conservative Americans known as The Bankers. /s

“ That will be up to the Trump Administration to make sure where the money goes.”.

Sounds good but that is simply not possible as the numbers are just too large. When you hand out a couple hundred million that’s one thing. When you hand out four hundred and eighty four thousand million, no accounting firm in the world could keep track of it. You are talking about figures so large a couple hundred million becomes an undetectable rounding error. Like it or not fraudsters are going to have a field day and many an evil deed will bankrolled.

No option to veto as House Democrats would have voted in lock-step to override.

Dems should start wearing gray Nehru collar jackets and pants with cloth shoes. They speak and vote in total uniformity as much as the Chinese Communists.

Did your son get a SBA disaster loan or PPP? Your son needs to be very careful if it’s PPP. You attest that you need the money and you will use it only to pay your employees, a small portion for rent and utilities.

So what you’re saying is that the Trump administration is incapable of good administrative oversight. That is Pelosi’s position and why she wants another layer of bureaucracy provided by congressional oversight.
The defense budget is $705 billion. Are there isolated incidents of waste and fraud? Yes. Is there massive waste and fraud? No.

You are absolutely correct. There are very strict stipulations.

No what Im saying is no administration is capable of oversight when you are talking about nearly a trillion dollars. It’s just not possible to fully vet that many avenues. The defense budget is a lot more controlled as you have far fewer hands in the cookie jar and those hands are known actors.

Pelosi wants more oversight so she can direct funds where she wants as well as hide where those funds are going when need be. Her demand has nothing to do with making sure the taxpayers money is used wisely.

It will do some good but the harm will outweigh it. The Congress knows this. There really is no accountability and actually is increasing unemployment numbers.

You don't know how veto overrides work, do you? If President Trump had wanted to veto the bill, and every Democrat in both houses voted to override, the veto would stand unless 14 Republican senators and 58 Republican representatives voted with them.

Nope. I’m bragging that he got some of the money back that the government stole from him. Not all, just some.

I love it when ANYBODY is able to do that.

Democrats successfully pushed for more funding for hospitals and testing

Translation: Big Cities get paid to pump up those Wuhan Virus numbers.
