Been quoted by several sources.. have you read the bill?
Here you go Goosey.
I’ll wait.
Chuck Schumer explained what Democrats were opposed to. In his words: “A giant, giant corporate bailout fund with no accountability — you wouldn’t even know what loans were made until six months later.” Two other big points that Democrats want to see movement on are increased funding for hospitals and necessary equipment like ventilators and masks, and increased federal funding for state and local governments trying to grapple with the growing crisis.
Frisco, you do understand that is the House bill, which is not the same as the bill that the Senate has been negotiating, right?
Yes, both are full of pork with things that have nothing to do with helping Americans laid off work or small businesses struggling.
What pork is in the Senate bill?

17 days! Can't fight that.
I thought I saw increased emissions standards for the airline industry and some solar credits. On the other side, I read about some funding for some abstinence only program that was scheduled to expire this May.

While we were sleeping, businesses are closing, people are losing their jobs, Pelosi slipped a little pay raise in for the House members of $25 million. Page 134 of the Bill. This is garbage.. These people are EVIL...
Pelosi is scum. Like a mob boss.
But, you are wasting your time trying to convince Goosey, johnny, and a few other libs on this forum that the Dems ever do anything wrong.
The Dems say there still are around 20 poison pills in the Senate bill, down from around 100. Immigration enforcement being the big one.
Of course, enforcing the law is always a sticking point for you Dems. And of course, Trump's "immigration enforcement" on those traveling from China did nothing to help...
Now, that said, I agree such measures have no place in the "relief bill." While I certainly agree we need to tighten up on immigration, and STOP illegal immigration (y'all know that!) That needs to be set aside and dealt with separately. And, enforcing US immigration laws is not a "poison pill." It's the right thing to do.
And yet again, we see Goosey siding with the Dems. They can do no wrong...give themselves a raise, spend $35 million on the Kennedy Center of the Arts (yeah, art is so important right now), etc... all great things, er, right Goosey!
Don’t be distracted by what is going on in the House. Keep your eye on the prize - the Senate bill.
So the Senate bill is the end goal? Once it passes it'll go directly to the President for signature?
No, but the Senate bill has the president’s support, so it will put the House on the clock once the Senate passes their bill. The House will be under pressure to get in line with what the Senate passed.
