expanding access to quality, affordable home- or community-based care

What does that mean? More wheelchair accessible ramps and wider doorways and hallways?

Gimme a break. We gave the cable companies regional monopolies decades ago to do this. They charge us a fortune, even though they have already made back their infrastructure costs, in order that they could cover the costs. They are in debt because they have been buying each other's regional monopolies out through leverage financing.

You want to cash in? Write a grant proposal saying you want to research biodegradable plastics as electric wire insulation.

Some of those sound like good ideas, though a TON will be wasted in the process

At least it’s being spend here instead of starting new wars blowing up foreign countries, if there’s any consolation

Corporate lobbyists are absolutely euphoric right now.

Democrats on the appropriation committees are going to see kickbacks and bribes the likes of which have never been seen before.

A lot of that just sounds misleading & deceptive; many ways towards a bigger slush fund. Probably best to pass none of it until it is expressly designed to indicate EXACTLY what the money is for. We need Mr. Trump back in charge.
