Counting your tax dollars goodbye with Pelosi-approved "coronavirus relief bill" pet projects

Counting your tax dollars goodbye with Pelosi-approved "coronavirus relief bill" pet projects | Unlike the GOP-led Senate, Congressional Democrats care deeply about Americans suffering because of Coronavirus. So naturally we expect $300 million allocated for PBS funding in any relief bill we pass. I will help you count 300 million, children. One. One SCREW YOU AMERICA! Two. Two SCREW YOU AMERICA's! Three.

Not sure who stuck this one in there but it seemed relevant..

(It's not an actual check, it's via some kind of tax deduction I think... but still..)

43,000 people x $1.7 million =
$73.1 billion

Hey darko!
I have attempted to get onto the Congressional website to locate that information in the passed measure, but the server continues to go down on me. However, I did find a Forbes article that discusses the final and passed bill. According to their info, Pelosi's sought-after allocations were whittled down from $300 million to $75 million for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (PBS), and from $75 million to $25 million for the National Endowment for the Arts. So, she got what she wanted, just not so much of it.
