[QUOTE="FreeinChrist, post: 75794489, member: 8879"] I have been watching the Senate debate. There was plenty of debate in House and Republicans had lots of opportunity to promote much of what you wrote. The $1400 is suppose to be relief for citizens and it could have been more in the last bill - but Republicans want that. Most of the bill is for Covid relief. It is also some stimulus. Besides the $1400 , the bill is extending the unemployment that ends this month (from the last covid bill in December) through September. There is $350 billion going to state and local government. It is suppose to be a stimulus and for covid relief to help them give the vaccine. Some Dems wanted the money earmarked for infrastructuce because they feared the local and state governements would cut taxes and use the aid rather than use it for pandemic relief and stimulus. There is also $510 mil for the FEMA Emergency and Shelter Program. FEMA has been setting up Covid vaccine sites around the country and there is going to be a lot of people evicted if judges decide it is illegal to defer evictions like one judge did. There is an Employee Retention Tax Credit - which is give a tax break to companies who use covid relief money to keep employees. There is also a provision for schools, for enrichment programs. After this last year, children are going to need more enrichment and help. There is also money for technology in schools which is needed. What pork in the bill do you dislike? [/QUOTE]
