It's good that O’Leary is calling that shite out right now. Before today 99% of congress had no idea that this language was in the bill.

I hope more watchdogs are reading it.

The GOP hasn't wanted to be in charge since Newt was House Speaker. If you ever had any doubt that Republicans do not want to lead, simply review Trump's first term. They are among the most spineless, feckless, politicians in Washington. They are just as corrupt as the democrats, in that they are complicit in the corruption. Thats why they don't want to be in charge. Republicans share in the ill-gotten rewards while letting the dems take the blame. All while saying "we're the minority, what can we do?"

I don't think middle class Americans have a single elected official (DJT excepted) who is looking out for them.

GOP congressman are equally as shitty and corrupt as democrats.

The only benefit I see to having GOP controlled house is that some of the more radical bills don’t get passed.

But they LOVE to keep the grift going and keep handing bricks to the drowning American middle class.

100%.

They are useless, they prefer to be the “loyal opposition” to a Dem majority and while they often can talk a good game…it’s always only talk.

The sooner MAGA voters turn their full and undivided attention to establishment GOP Congress critters, the better off in the long run the party and this country would be.

Makes me wonder if some of O’Leary’s Companies got a bunch of ERC’s? I mean it helped a lot of small businesses but I’m sure there was fraud just like the PPP loans. No need to put language like that in this bill though. I’d like to know who snuck this in.

because other than the rich, which they cater to, we're the only ones left that think for themselves, so we can't be bought by federal presents.

The GOP want to lose so Trump gets impeached

Thankfully the DEMS are still so bad no one will vote for them.

And then dems still won’t learn the lesson and won’t capitalize on any of it.

Mr. Wonderful probably had several small businesses that benefited from this. I know of several people that set up LLCs just to collect COVID funds. The LLCs were never a real business just a money grab.
