Coronavirus Stimulus Aid Package

[iluv2travel]

So how Pakistan get more?

Lol. Not specifically to Pakistan, but there's a whole lot more than $166B in total pork in that bill.

I get why this was all packaged together and I could care less about this or any other pork (because it wouldn't go to the layperson anyway), but a lot of people don't understand and therefore do care.

Deceased (in 2020) are eligible this round!

I do think there’s a chance. It looks like Mitch McConnell is pretty serious about preventing a vote but perhaps if they see it hurting them in GA they’ll reverse course

If the Democrats don't vote on it tomorrow, it will go away and not be such an issue.

Ain’t going away so fast

Everyone in Washington has their priorities, and we all pay the price.

"Tax Relief Act of 2020, is amended by striking ‘‘$600’’ each place it appears and inserting ‘‘$2,000’’, and by striking ‘‘$1,200’’ each place it appears and inserting ‘‘$4,000’’.

Seems like the current bill gives 2k per child

Hard to believe they'd make such a foolish mistake. If true, some frum families will make some serious bank.

I've seen this, but for some reason all news sites still say that it's unclear. Not sure what they're reading that I'm not, but apparently there's room for doubt.

Another biggie that they stuck in: by striking ‘‘qualifying child’’ and inserting ‘‘dependent’’.
Removes that pesky "under 17" rule...

It's intentional.
