| #12 Given that everyone that is non-essential is home, spending anything will take a while. A lot can stay for long while before they're missed and probably cheaper for all of us if they do. Incrementally bring back the bureaucracy ("its for the |

| #11 Since we are presently keeping out or should be keeping out refugees and immigrants, what do they need the $350 mil for? If they are already here, they probably ought to get medical care just to halt the spread of the virus. |

| #8 Once the vote passes the GOP should put forth another law that says money appropriated for x and y should be used instead for Z (a readiness package for the next pandemic, foreign aid geared to fight Corona, something like that). Make Z something nobody could possibly say no to and at least the money goes to a good place, Dems look bad, and the recovery money is out there circulating in the meantime. |

Then again, it helps a lot to have Trump and a 'Pub Senate. I still maintain no bill would've been better, definitely better in the long run, but next to nobody seems to gives a rat's ass about continuing to print money and spend it like Keith Richards buying blow in the 1970's. |

| #2 Voted funds do not always get spent, assuming the House actually passes the exact same thing —House Speaker Pelosi only promised to put the thing before the membership for a vote today, she did not promise it would be passed. |
