It didn’t take the swamp long to come back in full force after former President Trump left office, and there’s no better example of that than the COVID-19 relief bill, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy said.
Speaking to Fox News’ Sean Hannity, McCarthy said that “only 9 percent of it goes to COVID.”
“What they are doing is telling you the swamp is back. Everything you have warned your viewers about before the election is coming true in this bill,” he said.
Fox News’s Greg Gutfeld called the bill the “political version of money laundering” and compared it to “Breaking Bad,” whose main character Walter White bought a car wash to launder money for his illicit meth business.
“I’m going to point out something that is either so obvious it is idiotic or so obvious it is brilliant,” Gutfeld said on “The Five.” “The stimulus is a device for the government to give itself more money, think about it, we are watching an entity writing a check to itself, sure, we are getting some money out of it, which was oh, by the way, our money to begin with, but this is now a political version of money laundering.”
He continued, pointing to the “Breaking Bad” reference: “Our government is laundering our money to indulge their constituencies and their causes, they see the pandemic as their car wash. They are pushing billions through it through programs, through pork and bailouts, using people’s suffering as their cover.”
According to The Wall Street Journal’s editorial board, a “generous definition of Covid-related provisions tallies some $825 billion,” in the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan, while the rest goes towards “bailouts for Democratic constituencies, expansions of progressive programs, pork, and unrelated policy changes.”
The editors conclude that it’s disingenuous to call it a COVID relief bill when in reality it’s a “progressive blowout for the ages that does little for the economy but will finance Democratic interest groups for years.”
What is he going to do about it?
I guess the only thing he can do is expose the bill.
“only 9 percent of it goes to COVID.”
Shocking, I say. Shocking.
Well, that’s probably fine for Mitt, Lisa and Susan and Sasse and Toomey.
Sayz one of many SwAmP CrEaTuRes
How much of it is going to Hunter and the big guy?
So, a swamp creature “complains”?
He doesn’t really care, it’s the kabuki. He’ll say: “I tried, I couldn’t do anything *sniff*” Nevermind the knife I stuck in Donald Trump’s back.
The Dems will do what Dems do, fill the pockets of their friends around the world, and leave the American economy a shambles. Then proclaim it’s the “new normal” because of the mess Donald Trump left.
The sheep will buy it.
Deconomy
Cuomo gets 50 billion “bailout” for years of irresponsible give a ways...and Andy says it’s not enough.
Nobody should support this theft and Blue state bailout. I would like to hear McCarty’s plan for targeting about two dozen Dem Congressmen in swing districts for supporting this theft.
The purpose of the Dem Stimulus Bill is to help Dem controlled States recover their from their Socialist practices of using other peoples money to stay in power.
Yep. The Swamp is going back the way it was before Trump.
They’re after us. And now Trump’s out of the way.
What are We the People going to do about it?
We have allowed all that has befallen us. It’s now quite clear that there are two peoples in the USA: those who value liberty and those who want to be taken care of. Secession would be the least painful solution, and it wouldn’t be painless.
They knew this, yet they fought tooth and nail against Trump and their own party.
“What they are doing is telling you the swamp is back. Everything you have warned your viewers about before the election is coming true in this bill,” he said.

It’s back?
Kevin, it never left.
And you are still there.
Our government is laundering our money
We noticed ever see a poor democrat hack
“only 9 percent of it goes to COVID.”
Reading the headline alone, I guessed 10%. Pretty close. I’m just not cynical enough. Yet.
In this country, at this time, there is absolutely no one who has, or will, do anything about it!
The communists who now, and for the foreseeable future, have done something about it brilliantly... They had a strategy developed just over 100 years ago and, like a rabid dog, bit down on the Nation and refused to let go until it belonged to them, lock, stock, and barrel...
In the 1960's, in particular, the rabid dogs were the Kennedy klan and LBJ...
A few simple actions:
The net result?
During the past 60-years the country has devolved into a communist Sodom & Gomorrah...
With little hope or chance of recovery...
“only 9 percent of it goes to COVID.”
Well, since only 9 percent (or fewer) of “COVID deaths” are actually from COVID, I guess that’s fair.
