The republicans won’t let it pass through in the form of a blank check to democrats friends and families. Simple math, this bill is 1.9 trillion. 2000 dollar checks to every man woman and child in the use adds up to under 700 billion. Where the heck is the other 1.2 trillion going?

*in the US*
Actually it’s only 1400 dollar checks and not everybody will get them so it will be closer to 400 billion going to actual individuals.

Yay 1.5 trillion going somewhere else!

I thought the 1.9 trillion was a COVID relief bill
