Democrats' COVID relief by-the-numbers breakdown is jaw-dropping

[Counselor706]

The Senate narrowly passed its $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief bill and Republicans are blasting the package for its hundreds of billions that aren’t related to Covid relief.

The move comes as the U.S. has racked up a national debt of nearly $28 trillion, or nearly $85,000 per person, and 2020 saw a deficit of $3.3 trillion.

"This isn’t about COVID relief. It’s about using a health crisis as an excuse to ram through a left wing wishlist,” Sen. Pat Toomey, R-Pa., wrote on Twitter, along with a list of funds in the bill he deems unnecessary for coronavirus relief.

Let's not pretend the Republicans give a shit about the national debt, huh? They never worry about the cost of their tax cuts for the rich, which are what got us so deep in this hole in the first place.

The Democrats are doing what the Republicans will let them do on a comprehensive Covid response plan that has been impressive and effective from 21 January.

The Republicans have done nothing useful about it whatsoever--ever.

That's the publicly observable truth.

The Republicans are killers of Americans.

A sad deflection away from the fact that (D)'s are spending on "COVID relief" that ain't covid relief....they lied and are ripping everyone off.

Despite the fact that 1.9T should have gotten every tax payer out there about 11,000 bucks?

Households under 80k won't even get the 2k they were promised.

Democrats are total fucking scum.

If a $1,400 stimulus check changes your life, imagine what a job would do!

Biden asked for 1.9 trillion.
Biden got 1.9 trillion.


It would seem to be that getting what you initially asked for is the definition of success.
