The 591-page bill, stitched together by the House Budget Committee, would carry out Biden’s proposals to provide additional money for COVID-19 vaccines and other medical equipment.

...House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has said she was aiming for a vote in the Democratic-controller chamber on passing the bill — a top priority of the new Democratic Biden administration — by the end of next [this] week.

Caution folks. Pandemics are the new “Universal Basic Income” concept libtards have been pushing for years. Only this pandemic income includes government spending, so it’s politically uni-party accepted.

$1.9T...not nearly enough. Why are they being so cheap?

They need to send every man, woman and child a check for $50,000. Anything less than that is BS.

This means the illegal vermin will be getting a full check plus other aid and rights...

Most of the middle class Americans will not be getting a check or family aid...

About hundred million will be going to the Palestinians...

Millions going to climate change advocates...

Also, about 3 dozen additional pork projects benefiting only blue states & cities...

Nothing to old people like my wife & I...

Why does it take 591 pages to send out “free money” to everyone? I smell... pork. Lots and lots of pork.
