I'm seeing various media reports that they are voting into the wee hours Saturday Morning and is expected to pass. It will then go back to the House (where it will be approved) and then to President* Biden's desk. I have to ask, how much of this 1.9 Trillion is actually going to Covid? And how much is going to the Democrat's pet projects?

Remember when we conservatives used to be pissed and appalled at “stimulus” bills for a couple hundred billion?

Here is a stat off Newsmax last night:

If you take the number of people who will receive the 1400 check and divide the 1.9 trillion amongst them....they would get 62,000 each, thats how fked up this "covid" bill is.

These are our duly elected leaders.

It’s exactly what we deserve.

Winning Georgia senate seats was kinda important. No stopping the dems gravy train now. They will spend like drunken sailors on whatever special interests they want...and there's not a damn thing we can do about it.

At least one wasn't duly elected and probably many others.

They did manage to reduce the unemployment from $400 to $300. I'm sure that cash will be redirected to more bs

Last I heard, it was about 9%.

Covid is over. The best relief would be to remove all restrictions. This is a pure money grab.

I would have at least liked to see an equal bump to social security benefits for those over age 65. How can you boost the minimum wage without an equal boost to those who have paid into the system all their lives?

How much of this goes to cities and states where the liberal retirement pension was about to go bust?
