the goverment both sides are sneaky

why in heaven name would you add so much unrealted crap to a bill. in reality why the heck are we passing a 2 trillion $$ bill

he bill offered by Pelosi had included measures to restrict airlines' carbon emissions, protect illegal immigrants, provide for same-day voter registration, pay off billions in student loan debt, encourage federal agencies to employ "minority banks," bail out the U.S. Postal Service and even fund the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.

daca  whas in there to mony for illegals why do democrats have such a hard time saying illegal imagrants 

a bill should be only 1 thing and 1 thing only how does a bill be 1400 pg  and yu read it and know whats in it. can i say obamacare

both sides are at fault too

the bar is open

There is alot of stimulating going on and none of it is truly in the best interest of America.  

So can someone bottom line it for me?   Like what was in it that is actually relevant to our crisis???

This is what they (the House) is looking at today.

Going to cost $8000 for every American over 18,  PBS got 75mil, Endowment for the arts got 75mil, JFK center got 25mil, not sure what that has to do with the pandemic but whatever.  Pelosi is also looking in to starting an investigation on Trumps handling of the Corona virus crisis, wonder how much that will cost? DC is so incredibly stupid, no wonder they hate Trump, he actually has a little common sense.

She had also thrown in a same day registration deal designed to allow illegals to vote.  She has a lot of things in this bill that should have been disallowed but are still there and there will be more bills to come where she finish off her wish list.  

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: I canceled the deal last night. I said I'm not going to sign the deal because Nancy Pelosi came in and put a lot of things in the deal that had nothing to do with the workers, that had to do with an agenda that they been trying to get past for 10 years. And I came in I told Mike, I told a lot of people there's no way I'm signing that deal. I was getting calls from John Kennedy, from Ben Sasse, from many, many people, Lindsay, I was getting calls from a lot of different people saying this deal--Tom Cotton, this deal is terrible what they've done.

I have a few questions about this. . . 

When this bill finally gets passes, will people have to apply for the stimulus money or will they go send the money to everyone who meets the criteria and filed taxes in 2018-2019?  Will a check be mailed, or the money direct deposited into the account you get your tax refund to? 

I haven't filed my taxes yet for 2019. So they would go off my 2018 taxes, right? 

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/final-vote-coronavirus-stimulus-bill-now-imminent-amid-tensions-over-provisions

The legislation passed by the Senate will use 2019 tax returns, if available, or 2018 tax returns to assess income for determining how much direct financial aid individuals receive. Those who did not file tax returns can use a Form SSA-1099, Social Security Benefit Statement or Form RRB-1099, a Social Security Equivalent Benefit Statement, per Page 149 of the bill.

another example of why every one of those SOB's needs to be looking for a new job by this time next year. 



NOTE: I'm well aware they are not all up for reelection thi s year, nothing says they can't be prosecuted and jailed. 

Or shot 

absolutely totally agree  they **** sneaky and why does the lanuage they use so full of bullc....

it neds to be plain english

And yet he signed the bill today.

we are so screwed this has just...... all of them  25million to congress  what the hell  why why did he sign this

this is  such a slap in the face to americans  to the ones that work and pay taxes  what the h is 1200.00 1 time gonna do

i see extending some thing but the rest is beyond pork belly its filet minon  we the yax payer got pork rinds

yeah, it mad me mad as heck he signed it. 

Just more proof that none of our elected officials have the best interests of our country or it's citizens at the top of their give a **** list.

Not the same version of it.  Please keep up.  Besides that the pork in the bill is a nothing burger.  There is an executive order that allows him to spend the money any way he wants because there is a national emergency.  Pelosi thought she was doing something and it turns out Trump won again.  He also removed and replaced the directors of the Kennedy Center with people of his choosing so there will be no laundering of the funds ear marked for them.  

My comment his every bit as timely as that useless info you posted.

One thing about it, this board can be counted on  for the status quo attitude even when the rest of the world shuts down

where does he have that i hope he does as this is total bs  and i feel so helpless that my grandson and his kids the dream is over we can not have a debt load like this

On Wednesday evening, members of the United States Senate voted unanimously to approve a $2 trillion relief bill aimed at relieving the American public and the economy in light of the fallout from the Chinese coronavirus.

American taxpayers, however, are rightly up in arms over the waste in the bill, which totals up to $340 billion in new government spending for items seemingly unrelated to the virus.

Let’s take a look at some of the spending approved in the bill:

$300 million to the Social Security Administration
This money, however, would not be going directly to senior citizens. Instead, the funds are directed “to help SSA keep up with key workloads, make up for lost productivity, and otherwise improve the ability of the agency to serve the public.”

In other words, more money for bureaucratic overhead.

$1.018 billion to Amtrak
Lawmakers claim the government railroad funds are needed “for operating assistance to cover revenue losses related to coronavirus. In addition, funding is provided to help states pay for their share of the cost of state-supported routes.”

But Amtrak has never turned a profit since its creation in 1971, chronically relying on billions of dollars in government subsidies to keep the trains moving. In essence, the federal government is doubling up on the sunk cost fallacy.

$353 million to the United States Agency for International Development
That’s right. In a bill aimed at helping the American people, hundreds of millions of dollars have been allocated to assist other countries. $258 million is specifically marked for “international disaster assistance” in order to “continue to address humanitarian and health needs in coronavirus-affected areas abroad.”

$350 million for Refugee Resettlement
You thought that during times of crisis, the federal government would be putting Americans first? Think again. Slipped into the stimulus bill is $350 million designated for noncitizen refugees, migrants, and immigrants, while millions of Americans file for unemployment.

$150 million in National Endowments for the Arts and Humanities
Unbelievably, the bill approved by the Senate includes money for the arts, including “funding to state arts agencies and other partners in an effort to help local, state, and regional communities provide continued access to cultural organizations and institutions of learning.”

And speaking of the arts…

$25 million for the Kennedy Center
The Kennedy Center, a performing arts center in Washington D.C., is slated to receive money for “deep cleaning, increased teleworking capabilities, and operating and administrative expenses to ensure the Center will resume normal operations immediately upon reopening.”

$75 million for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting
This is the organization that subsidies PBS and NPR stations across the country. The stimulus package includes funds “for stabilization grants to maintain programming services and to preserve small and rural public telecommunication stations.”

So, don’t worry. Big Bird and liberal radio talk shows will be taken care of.

These are just a few of the egregious earmarks contained within the coronavirus stimulus bill, which now heads to the U.S. House of Representatives. They are expected to pass the legislation on Friday.

The democrats slipped the pork into the bill. But never mind the facts.
