The idea to start was exactly that.

Call it whatever you like. In this day and age when America is borrowing money from China is it not about as stupid as can be for our country, in the middle of a pandemic, to be sending money, any amount of money to other countries. Why do we continue to do that? Why can't those countries borrow money from China? Why is it the American Liberals feel the need to subsidize other countries, even some who hate Americans, when they seem to be doing well on their own.

Look at the list Idaho provided. What on that list is necessary that money should go toward those countries instead of American citizens?

Why are more millions going to The Kennedy Center? What a ridiculous waste of money. I can understand giving money, individual payments to Kennedy Center employees. But giving millions to the Center itself is just plain ridiculous. Doesn't the Kennedy Center have donors who give millions of dollars, don't the Center make money from performances?

As far as the Kennedy Center goes, on the last stimulus package they received several million dollars and the next day laid off at least most of their entertainers.

Any shortcomings on this bill are entirely due to Mitch McConnell.

It helps to understand what you are complaining about.


that's the rub, attaching it to a bill you wanted to pass. asking for more money for stimulus i agree with. the bill should have been introduced alone.

The stimulus bill passed by the house months ago has been sitting in McConnell’s lower right drawer just waiting a chance to pass his skinny bill s
That failed once.
This is all on McConnell

Exactly right my friend. It seems we just keep borrowing money from China to pay for others. When will Liberal politicians realize it is time these other countries take on their own responsibilities.

As I recall they received 25 Million dollars. I can’t help but think some of the Center big wigs will pocket some of that money. Other amounts will most likely be donated to Democratic politicians.

This not a stimulus bill for us.
It's just a rush-it-thru spending package.
IF that Chump wanted to be rembered as "presidential", he'd go thru the thing with his famous sharpie.
Take out ALL that crap, slim it down, and "executive order" just the good stuff.
Nope! Too busy jacking up the rates on DC properties as write offs for his rich donor buddies,

BTW, "foreign aid" is a misnomer.
We give Pakistan a million dollars.
They will be obligated to spend 90% on American products. Mostly military.
They still keep their 10%, get lots of new military equipment, and American Taxpayers make it so.
Wanna do it again?

Earth to Harry O. The POTUS does not have line item veto. No POTUS has ever sat down and gone through a 6000 page document and micro edited it including your God Obama. You people keep blaming this POTUS congress/Pelosi’s failing. It’s their job to come up with ethical legislation.

And, shall we discuss Clinton/Biden 501c3’s to nowhere but them.
Now blow smoke up someone else’s a$$ for a while.

F the virus open now while taking precaution like Home Depot and Walmart get to do. I'm glad Idaho is allowing our restaurants and bars to operate while taking precautions.

I just sent a scathing email to our representatives in Washington about voting in favor of Pelosi’s pork barrel covid package!! I asked them how ten million dollars to Pakistan for gender studies is going to help Americans pay rent, feed families and cover everyday costs! 600 to citizens is a joke after the money they just approved for pet projects!!

How many "representatives" do you have? Most of us only have one.
Home depo, and Walmart, require everyone wear masks. That really doesn't work in a restaurants.

2020 — Walmart (WMT), Home Depot (HD), Lowe's (LOW), Walgreens (WBA), CVS (CVS) and others say they still won't prohibit customers who refuse to wear a mask from shopping in stores.

Most that require multiple customers and require that people not wear masks, have been closed. Bars would seem to be even worse than restaurants, as their primary purpose (beyond making money) is mingling.

I don't know where you live, but when restaurant's in Oregon are allowed to open they have standing room only crowds. Heck we have had people sitting out in the snow just to get to eat out.

Today I went to the dentist. I was going to eat a take out fast food meal afterwards since the dentist is 40 miles from my house and it was time for lunch. But, I couldn't find a place to park to place my order. The parking lot shared by Chipotle, Five Guys and Jersey Mikes was so full of people eating take out that there was no place to park.

Then shame on them. Around here it isn't their call, and shouldn't be.
