Government Stimulus .. If this doesn't upset you then nothing will

I can't confirm all of this to be correct, but if this is even a fraction correct, then HOLY COW!!!
The waste is beyond belief!
Who has the authority to spend them?
No one is watching over this.

This is unbelievable! This is where our hard earned money is going!!!
Now you will know why Republicans are blocking this 2.2 trillion-dollar congressional bill.
Hard to believe but look it up on the Congressional website for HR 748 from 116th Congress. Here’s the direct link: https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-...house-bill/748

American population: 330,483,530

Stimulus bill: $2,000,000,000,000 ($2 Trillion)

Dividing the cost by every American is $6,051.74 The government could have given every person over $6,000, but instead will give $1,200 to each adult under a certain income. Want to know where the missing 96% of your tax dollars went? Here you go:

1. $300,000,000 for Migrant and Refugee Assistance pg.. 147.

10. $200,000,000 to Safe Schools Emergency Response to Violence Program.

11. $300,000,000 to Public Broadcasting / NPR has to be bought by the Democrats.

Most of these are slush funds that will turn right around and send most of that $$ right back the DNC and Clinton foundation.

In some circles, it's called money laundering.

That's how they are all rich. Every one of them.

Let us hope that McConnell is able to hold the line on more stimulus, sugar for campaign contributors and PPP. What will be needed is disaster loans for a good many Texans. I sincerely hope we have moved past playing politics with disaster declarations. I am ok, but I have a feeling a lot of my fellow Texans are going to need a little help after the ice clears.

“Here’s a bunch of stuff— no idea if it’s accurate at all, but it should really work you up regardless.”

It sounds like the goal is not to spread accurate information, but just get all torqued up. All of a sudden the PACE forum is making a lot more sense.
