Gigantic waste of money, only 9% of the funds go to citizens and small businesses. Who is going to pay off this debt?

[tatianapetrov]

Remove everything else and pass the amount that's actually for covid relief $1400 is not even scratching what some of us have lost.

1.9 trillion going out to everyone except Americans

[astonmartin]

Most of the money isn’t even for our country.

[hammerbyte]

i am curious as to which country in the world our tax dollars will go this time. makes me sick to think about

[Dr.Westside]

Remove the pork . There is no need to spend 2 trillion . Take out anything that is not directly related to helping the people or helping small businesses . 2 trillion dollars could give 200 million people $10, 000 .

How much went to lobbyists and foreign countries?

A provision buried in the COVID-19 relief bill has been criticized as “a personal bailout for bureaucrats” for carving out enhanced paid time off for federal employees, a boost not offered to non-federal employees.

A provision in the “American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, ” which passed the House on Saturday, enables a new Treasury Department fund called the “Emergency Federal Employee Leave Fund” to pay federal employees up to $1, 400 a week for 15 weeks as paid time off if they have any kids who are not enrolled in full-time, in-classroom instruction as their school. Forbes reported: tell the people the truth.

What does the performing Arts have to do with the co-vid relief !!! Too many unnecessary items !! Get the checks to the people and the unemployed !!! The unemployed have to start looking for another job once they get the virus shot !!!

[bdahl]

This Bill is the worst thing that could happen to this country. Except the $1, 400.00 to the people that's only 9% of this bill.

[LAking-xxkq]

A Pelosi tunnel, a schumer bridge, a billion dollars for a foreign art gallery, $1, 400 for us

Trashiest news source I have ever seen

Watching Yahoo fawn over dementia Joe is hilarious🤣 It’s like propaganda from N.Korea💯🤮

[peterpiper]

$1.9 dollar relief plan? Maybe you should fix the title.

[curtisbroders]

1.9 Trillion, and only 9% for Covid Relief in the U.S.A. $2000 Went down to $1400 now months have gone by. How much will there be? Another $600. That will help with what? and they spend more than that on ice cream a month.

[sempereadem]

9% of 1.9 Trillion.
I wonder if we will have gluten free options in the breadline 🤔

[emeraldkaysgarden]

How's the Big Guy doing in his 1st 30 days 😂😬🥴

[MrEkzotic]

There should be no stimulus plan at all, open the damn country instead.

[austinhilton]
