‘It’s unacceptable’: Six Republican senators vote ‘no’ on monstrosity COVID bill negotiated in secret
December 22, 2020 | Jon Dougherty

Sens. Mike Lee (R-Utah) and Ted Crux (R-Texas) ripped the process by which the just-passed $2.3 trillion spending and COVID relief measure was devised and written in justifying their opposition to it.

“Tonight, badly-needed #COVID19 relief was tied to a $1.4T end-of-year spending monstrosity because three times Democrats rejected good faith efforts to pass targeted legislation that would have helped Americans hurting as a result of the pandemic,” Cruz wrote Monday.

Quote
In addition to Lee and Cruz, Sens. Marsha Blackburn (Tenn.), Ron Johnson (Wis.), Rand Paul (Ky.), and Rick Scott (Fla.), all voted ‘no’ on the measure. Two other Republicans, Sens. Mike Enzi (Wyoming), and Mike Rounds (S.D.), did not vote.

The Stimulus Bill:

The gov't closes the economy. You lose your job. You face eviction.

$600 for all your troubles.

Meanwhile they send:

$135 million to Burma
$85.5 million to Cambodia
$1.4 billion for "Asia Reassurance Initiative Act"
$130 million to Nepal

They hate you.

Family members of illegal aliens are now able to get stimulus checks under this new bill.

It’s retroactive, so they can also get the previous $1,200 given out.

Unbelievable.

It's just the usual porkulus free-for-all-that-don't-need-it giveaway BS from the rabid, radical left.   Hell, why should they care about spending taxpayer's money?   It's not like they worked a day or broke a sweat earning those dollars.   And it's soooo much fun spending, squandering and wasting other people's money.  Why quit now?

Pretty sad that only six people had the intestinal fortitude to do the right thing.  I commend them for their responsibility.

And as usual, the anti-American DemocRats are more interested in helping other nations than they are in helping the American LEGAL citizens.   Typical.

Yes, it is. Only a handful of representatives, too, I suspect. Tulsi Gabbard was one of them; not sure who else.

Tulsi Gabbard
@TulsiGabbard

$600 is a slap in the face to every American struggling due to the pandemic. You deserve better.

I voted against the 5,593-page spending bill that gave billions to corporate interests, the military industrial complex & other countries, leaving crumbs for you who need help most.

Especially since, according to Rush.... even illegal aliens will be getting that $600... PLUS a retroactive $1200 per person reward for being illegal.   Don't know if that is accurate, but if it is....

it is definitely PITCHFORK TIME.

$600 × 328 million = $196.8 billion

This bill is for $900 billion.

Guess who's getting that other $700+ billion.

 HIDDEN in the 5,893 page bill that @realDonaldTrump
 is anticipated to VETO is a provision that says:

"Nullifies the President's use of the Insurrection Act."

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Only six?  I would expect both my Georgia Senators to vote 'no' if they wanted my Conservative vote.  But they are still under the delusion that if they appease Democrats, then Democrats won't try to unseat them.

Pelosi decided who was important enough to get money first and the most money.


foreigners get up to $1,800, rich American corporations/banks feed at this trough, world jihadist and socialist who mismanage their nations get generous amounts. 

So who got royally SCREWED?  Those Pelosi and fellow democrats despise;
Desperate American workers laid off for 6 months, $600 laughable bucks and misc others.  Small businesses get royally SCREWED TOO.  This is what you would expect from Madura, Venezuela, laughter included.  Corrupt election, corrupt spending, and no respect for the citizens, they rule over like oppressors.
