I believe there was a agreement that the house would pass it as is.

The Bill originally came from the House. (as all legislation must originate from the House)

My understanding is that this is H.R. 748 - Middle Class Health Benefits Tax Repeal Act of 2019. This is not a new bill, it is new amendments to an already existing bill.

H.R.748 - Middle Class Health Benefits Tax Repeal Act of 2019

Correction: Origination of revenue raising legislation. Not sure what the original bill was (appropriations or revenue or a mix) but Amendment 2 creates a new agency under the department of the treasury "to be known as the 'Pension Rehabilitation Administration'."

There are 14 amendments to look through

350 Billion goes to small and medium size businesses.

What does the rest go to?

They are going to inflate our saved money away.

This is shameful!

I have heard but am unable to confirm that while Congress made sure Trump businesses could not benefit from this emergency, Congress has included a raise for itself in this bill.

It is very curious that we were given access to everything in Nancy Pelosi’s bill, but finding out what has received “bipartisan approval” is impossible.

If President Trump could refuse to sign Nancy’s version because it was not good for our nation, why can’t he refuse to sign this one? We deserve a clean bill, and another week is not going to make that much difference.

There is also the provision of a Communist-style board of approval for every corporate loan request.

Our Republic is either go into a violent revolution or and more likely vanish within decade or two to the U.N.

What is the point of saving your hard earned cash if they are going to inflate our money away?

These politicians are just disgusting. They don’t give a dam about our Republic to include anything outside of the Coronavirus.

This bill gives them cover.

I’m sorting through the 14 amendments on the bill. Very time consuming

In a nutshell, the Open Market Committee can sell Alaska back to Russia in exchange for 17 Polar Bears and a crate of Vodka. No I’m totally kidding!... maybe?

“That ($25M for the Kennedy Center) was not my request,” President Trump said. “But you’ve got to give them (Democrats) something, it’s something that they wanted ... you know it works that way.”

He promised he was going to drain the swamp.

They did the “gut the original bill” thing again....now called the “Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act” or “CARES Act”. New text finally leaked:

Pelosi decided she wants to Screw with the Bill some more and Delayed it till Friday. Why she wants to delay Aid to suffering Americans who already know this was supposed to have passed Monday is beyond me.

Soon Dems will not be able to be Dog Catcher any more!

Go Pelosi! Screw over the DemocRAT Party with GREED! America is Watching You!
