They shouldn’t be divided. More money to Americans, less to liberal “nonprofits” and big business and foreigners.

Yeah be we KNOW this will just be added to the bill.

There will be no scrapping of graft money.

Because they hate us peasants as much as the Democrat elites do; not because they mind destroying the future for a temporary easement of the pain they all spread to us.

Their phoney baloney jobs are safe for another two or four years, so why should they bother?

$2,000 stimulus for the little people is bad, bailouts for Congress’s pet projects is good, when it is all our tax dollars anyway.

Hell they could have thrown every American 80,000 bucks to get to 27 trillion debt instead of completely squandering the vast majority of it.

Yeah, I forgot that some just got re-elected, so they are there now, and will start a new term in a few days.

Many Republican Senators are disgusted at the idea of more money going to American citizens who are, in their view, lazy peasant scum.

Those Republican Senators would much rather send the money to foreign countries and to the big corporations that pretend to be American while hiring people from around the world.

If only I’d read GOP Senators divided on objecting the Electoral College. Cowards.

And they haven’t lost their (huge) salaries.

Their salaries are a pittance compared to what they get in graft and patronage.

Their salaries alone would sure help out a lot of my neighbors, whom those Senators would deny some actually ‘substantial’ help.

Do you think Hunter Biden is the only Bagman in DC?

Seriously, all that money gets spread around so the bag men can go around and vacuum it up and send cuts to their “big guys”.

Hunter was just dumb enough to expose it all

Anyone who supports this pork give away Bill should resign. Just the thought of giving the American taxpayer a measily $600 and giving muslim countries billions is an insult to taxpayer intelligence they should leave office immediately. They are living in the wrong country.

Ah, so they are fine with the near trillion dollars for stupid programs in foreign countries but don’t want to give Americans, that they have let be raped by their own states, a few measly bucks that still won’t cover their losses.

I hope they all die. I’m not kidding. I can’t wish that they waste another lung full of O2.
