Covid has caused a number of crises in our economy that can’t only be fixed with checks to individuals. Without more specifics I disagree that other portions of the package amount to “pork barrel spending.”
The fact the GOP (mostly) supported Covid relief back when Trump was President is kind of the point. Now they are 100% against and the only thing that has changed is a Democrat is President.
The crisis hasn’t abated, we’re still in the middle of it and it will take literally years to undo this catastrophic damage which goes way beyond the ‘08 financial crisis. Another pile of crap a Republican prez left his Democratic successor.
New administration, new Senate, more relief, just as the Democrats promised to do if elected. It’s simple.
