According to the bill, everyfuckingbody except ordinary Americans is stimulated to the tune of billions.

So much pork they should give every person a side of bacon.

I’m asking Congress to amend this bill and increase the ridiculously low $600 to $2,000 or $4,000 for a couple,” Trump continued.

Full quote:

“I’m asking Congress to amend this bill and increase the ridiculously low $600 to $2,000 or $4,000 for a couple,” Trump continued. “I’m also asking Congress to immediately get rid of the wasteful and unnecessary items from this legislation and to send me a suitable bill or else the next administration will have to deliver a COVID relief package.”

As it should be.

Do any of you see any chance Trump will VETO this as an FU to the establishment on his way out?

That would be the best thing possible.

That would be the best thing possible.

Given the broad bipartisan support for this boondoggle, Congress would probably override.  The Senate vote was 92-6 and the House voted 359-53 to pass.

Both parties are to blame for this mess.  Words cannot express my disgust.

[Nick1911]

What a mess.  That's what, 10k per taxpayer worth of additional national debt?

The choices of our government are not sustainable.  Eventually this house of cards will fall in upon itself.

[Boomhauer]

So I’ve been hearing that this is an omnibus spending bill which means Trump can change a lot of it. True?

At last, the President has agreed to $2,000 — Democrats are ready to bring this to the Floor this week by unanimous consent. Let’s do it!

Look at that beautiful bipartisan agreement.

We can just tax the Rich and everything will be fine.

$600 * 328,000,000 people = $196,800,000,000.   $196.8 billion.  This bill is for $900 billion.   

Where is the other $700 billion going?

I have not seen confirmation of this.  Yet.

[HeroHog]

It's there. He can initiate it BUT Congress has to approve it.

Some of it is going toward the increased unemployment and expanded PPP.
