On Monday, Democrats and Republicans came together on a COVID relief bill after months of negotiations.
The final product offered $600 stimulus payments to most Americans while setting aside billions of dollars for foreign countries and expensive provisions that had absolutely nothing to do with mitigating the threat of COVID-19 or the economic ramifications of it.
Hinting that he could veto the bill, President Donald Trump called for Congress to remove the unnecessary foreign spending and increase the stimulus payments to $2,000.
According to Sen. Mitt Romney, however, $2,000 stimulus payments for Americans struggling during the pandemic would be too expensive to add to the relief bill.
“If we went to $2,000 per person, the additional borrowing would be up to almost $500 billion,” the Utah Republican said Wednesday during a virtual meeting, according to KUTV.
“Someone’s got to pay for that. We can’t just have free money.”
I keep telling all there’s only one way out of this nightmare…smh..mho
Hack! That money rightfully belongs to American Citizens first. Tax dollars being misappropriated is the biggest problem with our economy. American Citizens can’t afford to pay for everyone else in the midst of this pandemic. It’s just not fiscally responsible.
The current estemated population of Sudan is ~43 Million per the UN. Simple math…. 700/43 = 16.27. 16.27 Million dollars per citizen of Sudan but 600 dollars per US Citizen is too expensive. The Dems Habits are too expensive. Maybe Romney should foot the 700 for Sudan and surrender his position to someone more responsible with OUR money.
You’re kidding, right?
Free money my a$$, I worked hard for that!! Someone needs to go beat his a$$! He deserves an old fashioned a$$ whopping!!
Why are we giving anyone a stimulus ? That crumb money is not going to change anyone’s life. I am tired of hearing about it.
If American Govt Stopped giving OUR $$$$ to the rest of the world it
would have Plenty , & Not even Tax us at All !!!!
No, Democrat PORK is too expensive !!! OUR Stimulus is Not enough !!!
Just cut out the PORK & give us OUR damn $$$$$$ !!!!!
