All these were increased by blocking the orginal bill. Not sure about you but sure seems worth it to me.

Small Businesses
More than $350 billion to aid small businesses.
Hospitals
A $150 billion boost for hospitals and other health-care providers for equipment and supplies.
Individuals
Direct payments to lower- and middle-income Americans of $1,200 for each adult, as well as $500 for each child. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said checks would be cut April 6.
Unemployed
Unemployment insurance extension to four months, bolstered by $600 weekly. Eligibility would be expanded to cover more workers.

Did they stuff in any unrelated spending, laws, and regulations in this bill in the end?

Sounds like good additions. Why did they take blocking a bill and why weren't they all in the original negotiated bill?

They tried. I think that thankfully both sides mostly lost on that one.

Phew. I hate when things get slipped in. Let every policy get its proper debate and not tacked on to a major bill. What were the things that did get through?

Not very clear to be honest. Immigrant stuff don't seem to be anything major. Only thing that concerns me is allowing to drop off other people's ballots without any identification. Hello??? Are we doing elections Middle Eastern style here?

Short time treasuries just went negative today. When home loans go negative please wake me up. I will be more than happy for them to pay me to take out a loan.  :)

It doesn't benefit me but yes. Workers are screwed every time. It is about time they get the benefit.
Are the R's going throw this deal out the window over a couple hundred bucks for each worker when big business is getting a 500B slush fund?
