What we want and what we get are two separate things. I’ve heard no noise about Trump vetoing this.

No, we haven't heard from him about it yet. But given his past track record of bitching at Pelosi and her ilk over playing politics with relief money the past few months, I don't put it past him to light her up again and I hope he does along with some choice words for that scummy-ass RINO McConnell.

Right now anger is directed at the dnc/rnc for doing this nonsense, if he steps in and vetoes the TDS will start kicking in. Plus all a veto would do is delay it and allow them to add more stuff, biden will then happily sign anything put across his desk.

Trump should veto and say pass the $1,200 Trump Bux again, and that's it.
For the $900 billion they're wanting now, every American could get a check for over $2,500. I hate the gibs but that's a better thing than paying $5 million dollars to every living prior president (that's in this bill) and race horse tax deductions and going after illegal streaming.
There's probably universal mail-in voting in this thing and no one has found it yet, but they gotta rush it through because they're all swamp creatures.

Yes. Omnibus bills are always cancer and the fact they are still used is a testament to how corrupt Congress is.

Add in the more useless and harmful overall things included with this package, and I still won't be able to keep my doctor. And with the "Act Now!" time limit for this relief, might as well call it surprise bill- surprise giving.
If you think Trump is trying to prepare poison pills for Ol' Joe, the most petulant of Swamp creatures have prepared a whole pharmacy, much less a pill cabinet.

I meant that it's going to take away anything good from those sites. The sites themselves will live.
Also the bill has passed through both the house and senate with a strong majority. It waits to be signed by Orange Man.

Senate Republicans refused to provide more direct aid because "deficit". Yet, they fought tooth and nail to get in the "100% Business Meals" tax deduction.
They cut the unemployment benefits (significantly) to be able to offer the $600 direct payments, and yet they kept in $5 Billion for "Business Meal" deductions.
You can clearly see where their priorities are and, now that Trump's out the door, they've rediscovered the deficit.

If this were
If we have to have these stupid shutdowns, the vast majority of this should be going toward people affected by said shutdowns as well as businesses affected by said shutdowns. The more businesses that close, the more long-term unemployment and the less that people will be able to spend since there's few local businesses open and Amazon, Netflix, etc. can only supply so much. It's instant stagflation.
My guess is next you'll have extra money given to banks so they can in theory more easily loan that won't actually make it too much easier for entreprenuers to get started or business owners to rebuild, but will make the banks extra wealthy.
Horrifying. You know damn well most of this isn't going toward your bag handlers or whoever, it's going to airline big-wigs. And that's not even considering the state highway funding which has a curious habit of rarely going toward state highways in most places.

I'm not sure what the politicians are up to with this bill, but it's giving a lot of Americans yet another opportunity to show their ignorance and childishness.
I see stuff like
and other things that act like Egypt got $1,400,000,000 and all of America got $600 to split.
It feels like if little kids heard that money was to be given to their family and then got mad when Mom and Dad used the money to pay bills and fix the roof instead of using every penny to buy toys and candy. The $600 isn't enough to fix 2020 problems for a lot of folks but do they really think stamping their feet and crying because someone else got money that they wanted will help?
