2020-12-22
[Breibart] American taxpayers still reeling from coronavirus lockdowns will be shelling out billions to foreign countries if Congress passes a $2.3 trillion spending bill unveiled Monday.

The 5,593 page budget-busting bill was posted online Monday afternoon, only hours before House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said a vote would be held.

For some countries, Christmas came early:

#21  $600 doesn't even do ice cream


Multiply by 35 and you can do one of Pelosi's designer fridges.

Double it again and you can fill the corrupt old hag's fridge with her favorite ice cream

#20  $600 doesn't even do ice cream.

$2000, at half the cost?

Pass the bill to see what's in it? Been done.

#18  Trump intends to veto. He wants the billions and billions of trash taken out of the bill and the money for Americans increased from $600 to $2000.

#17  They don't have any intention of paying it back. They will leave that to your children and grandchildren.

#15  These politicians in DC are out of their f#&king minds. The national debt is $27.5 trillion. This is not sustainable.

#14  Money to illegals and their families and it's retroactive so they'll also get the $1200 given out earlier.

Of course.
Destroy 10 million citizens' small businesses.
Subsidize 20 million illegals.

They hate us, they do. They really, really hate this country.

#13   Not sure how far the ChiComs were willing to push their manipulation of their surrogates here before the election in the massive cheating to steal the election and put a friendly Biden administration in ace, but the chaos that has followed has made me think they are now going all in for every subversive tool in their toolbox.

#12  $450 Million to Ukraine, Rush just said so they can continue paying Hunter.
Money to illegals and their families and it's retroactive so they'll also get the $1200 given out earlier.

#11  Poor kids. Already getting a third world education; now tganjs to lockdowns they've fallen so far behind, and they'll be yoked to so much debt, that they will never ever have a shot at a decent life. No wonder they're going mad.

#6  Yeah, and the amount of "relief" for the average American family will be a whopping $600.

#5  Biden just said he is ready to piss away even more. Globalism means the Dims will allow the world to pick the bones of the American taxpayer like vultures on roadkill.

#2  The 5,593 page budget-busting bill

Five thousand-some pages of payoffs, bailouts, pet projects and grift. I do believe I am becoming
cynical.

While I have not read any of the bill, I'd bet a big pile of your money that there are some major allocations to help the Blue states deal with their unfunded pension obligations.
