Have you figured out how much 1.9 Trillion actually is? It is almost $6,000 each, for every man, woman and child in the United States. Shaking my head.

Norm it is insane how much money they are giving away and over 90% doesn't have anything to do with covid relief for the citizens of the US. Lots of things in it won't even take place or be spent till 2024-2028.

Oh and BTW, our sounthern border is not undera crisis even though there are over 300 kids coming in every day... oh yeah and being put in cages.

Here's where "our" money is going - it will certainly "stimulate" a lot of non-virus related people - business's, countries.

Politicians are the scum of the earth! Especially on the federal side!

House Bill 748
Now you will know why Republicans are blocking this 2.2 trillion-dollar congressional bill. Hard to believe but look it up on the Congressional website for HR 748 from 116th Congress. Here’s the direct link:
https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/house-bill/748

American population: 330,483,530
Stimulus bill: $2,000,000,000,000 ($2 Trillion)
Dividing the cost by every American is $6,051.74 The government could have given every person over $6,000, but instead will give $1,200 to each adult under a certain income. Want to know where the missing 96% of your tax dollars went? Here you go:

1. $300,000,000 for Migrant and Refugee Assistance pg.. 147.
2. $10,000 per person for student loan bailout.
3. $100,000,000 to NASA, because, who knows why.
4. $20,000,000,000 to the USPS, because why the hell not.
5. $300,000,000 to the Endowment for the Arts - because of it.
6. $300,000,000 for the Endowment for the Humanities/ because no one even knew that was a thing.
7. $15,000,000 for Veterans Employment Training / for when the GI Bill isn't enough.
8. $435,000,000 for mental health support.
9. $30,000,000,000 for the Department of Education stabilization fund/ because that will keep people employed (all those zeros can be confusing, that’s $30 BILLION).
10. $200,000,000 to Safe Schools Emergency Response to Violence Program.
11. $300,000,000 to Public Broadcasting / NPR has to be bought by someone.
12. $500,000,000 to Museums and Libraries.
13. $720,000,000 to Social Security Admin / but get this only 200,000,000 is to help people. The rest is for admin costs.
14. $25,000,000 for Cleaning supplies for the Capitol Building on page 136.
15. $7,500,000 to the Smithsonian for additional salaries.

24. $9,000,000 Misc. Senate Expenses pg. 134.
25. $100,000,000 to Essential Air carriers pg. 162. This of note because the Airlines are going to need billions in loans to keep them afloat ($100,000,000 is chump change.)
26. $40,000,000,000 goes to the Take Responsibility to Workers and Families Act This sounds like it's direct payments for workers pg. 164.

30. $526,000,000 Grants to Amtrak to remain available if needed through 2021 pg. 168 (what are the odds that doesn't go unused). Hidden on page 174 the Secretary has 7 days to allocate the funds & notify Congress.
