Senate Democrats rejected efforts on Saturday to keep the forthcoming pandemic-related economic stimulus out of the hands of imprisoned criminals and immigrants who are living in the United Stated illegally.
Prior to approving a whopping $1.9 trillion stimulus package — which is stuffed with items completely unrelated to COVID-19 relief — Republicans proposed numerous amendments that would have more responsibly directed aid at those Americans who need it most.
Republicans, however, were unsuccessful in leaning down the bill, which was ultimately approved without support from a single Republican senator.
Republicans Sens. Bill Cassidy (La.), Ted Cruz (Texas), and Tom Cotton (Ark.) introduced an amendment that would have prevented “any individual who is incarcerated in a Federal or State prison” from receiving stimulus checks.
Democrats rejected the effort, 50-49, which would have saved taxpayers nearly $2 billion.
I sympathize. We’re all gonna get screwed when the inflation tiger the commieDems release runs rampant. So will the innocents lodged in jail. Cost of smokes and drugs will skyrocket, and there are only so many jobs available.
As for the illegal aliens, by the time they buy their ‘Biden, Let Me In’ shirts for their extended gamily they are near broke, too.
