Democratic leaders are cheering the imminent final passage of President Biden’s $1.9 trillion COVID-19 stimulus bill, with the White House calling it the “most progressive” bill in US history and Republicans using the same claim to bash it.

The partisan posturing over the bill and its legacy is shaping up ahead of anticipated final passage in the House of Representatives on Tuesday.

You keep using that word "progressive".

I don't think it means what you think it means.

If the democRATs really believe in rewarding stupidity then they will soon run out of “other people’s money”.

Progressive is communism by evolution, not revolution. Same destination.

Only 9% actually goes toward kung flu relief.

The rest is pork, to bail out democrat cities and states, and probably help bring in more illegals. I doubt if a penny will be used to help small businesses, democrats want them destroyed.

$1.9T that we don’t have. Spending money on things we should not be spending money on. Most of which, are not Art 1 Sec 8 things Congress has Constitutional authority to spend any money on at all...

And here we sit. On our asses. Rather than storming the wire and hanging every one of the traitors that voted for this crap.

So easy.......

Have the Republicans start airing commercials calling it out.

First show CornPop talking about his $2000

Then show him backpedaling on that and how he’s going to lower it to $1400.

From there a simple question, followed by a list......

COVID relief bill was supposed to help Americans effected by the pandemic, right? How does $100 million for gender studies in Pakistan hellp Americans? How does $100 million for a wall and roads in Afghanistan help Americans?

Oh yeah.....enjoy your $1400 while some guy in Afghanistan or some corporation gets rich.

Go down the whole list. Put it out there. Show that only 9% of the travesty is going to Americans. Let people see it.

More theater. The only reason the GOP is upset, save for a few with principles, is that they didn’t get their share of the pork.

Years ago.

When gas was .37 cents. Candy bar .5 cents.

And Congress had jobs at they’re own state.

Well it’s a love/hate relationship. They sure do luv them some Benjamins though. And they’re a lot happier now that there is a cup of jello in the WH that will give them what they want no questions.

What the hell is a GOP? Is it an excuse? An afterthought? Flatulence in an elevator?

The entire US receipts from 2019 Income tax was $1.7 Trillion. This bill is $200 million more, and it is just one bill. Where is the $1.9 Trillion coming from? Why do we even pay taxes?
