This must be one of the biggest wastes of time I’ve ever seen in Congress. Why take the time and effort to do all of this?

They want it on record and maybe get some highlights out of the fact that only a very low percentage of 1.9 trillion dollars of the bill is going to actually help the American people with covid 19. The democreats are filling it up with pork to bail out blue states and cities that helped get ChIna Joe elected. Also reading out loud so American people will know that 335million for Arts and Library, 90 billion to infastruture, 12billion to airlines, 40billion to colleges, 50million to family planning aka planned parenthood, paid covid leave for federal workers ONLY, 16billion affordable Care act, 50million for “environmental Justice act” and hundreds more. Already taken off the bill. 100million for Nancy Pelosi pet project subway, 1.5million Chuck Schumet pet project bridge to Canada, 15 an hour minimum wage. Not everyone is going to read the bill and by someone reading it will highlight all the overspending these idiots are doing. If anyone thinks this bill is a good idea you better remember that little measly 1400 is going to cost in taxes 10,000 times over so Nancy Pelosi can bailout California and New York. Pretty sleazy trying to tack on all this pork, without the pork you would of already gotten your money.
