They'll agree on anything, including not helping Americans first.

The next bill congress will pass is to raise taxes to pay for the aid they didn't give to the people....

politicians forgetting that they are supposed to represent those that got them there, time to walk up and fire them all. For the people, by the people.

$600 is a slap in the face. Most of the money in the bill will be going to special interest groups and other countries. Our government is weak.

They only did it cause he's leaving. It's that last stick in the side just to taunt him. They can veto a defense, but can't unify to pass the $2, 000 checks. Wow! We should fire the entire Congress

[thisistheaccountname]

But not to give the people an actual stimulus check.

[josefinamagallanes]

Money for political salaries but none for the American people.

[johnnyhellfire]

Ah the priorities of the Senate, go the extra mile to pass a bill that HURTS vets benefits, but not give Americans financial help...

[firetopman]

Why can't we vote on these issues directly? Why are we letting crooks vote?

[mrh]

We the people demand the recall of all the congress.

[jmoore]

Get rid of these politicians, defund the politicians movement has to start. They are backstabbing our country.

[brandonharper]

If only Americans realized there is 330 million of you and under 1000 of them

[bswrblimitedsti]

Quick on the veto but take a year and a half to agree on a stimulus

"Money for wars but can't feed the poor"

[ghostgamingxd]

American people I’m talking to all you as one of your own, we must get rid of these corrupt politicians! We must stand together and get rid of them and replace them with people who are for American people! I got my stimulus today and it was gone bc of bills that that barely covered . We must unite people and get them OUT !

McConnell looks like he's having a stroke with every word he says.

[jerrellallen]

[nathanielstephenbaue]

Imagine if all of that money stayed in our country.
