Why are Republicans blocking a $2 Trillion congressional Virus Stimulus Bill?
(If the Dems get control in November, this is an example of what to expect. Same as giving criminals your checkbook)
Hard to believe but look it up on the Congressional website for HR 748 from 116th Congress.
American population: 330,483,530
Stimulus bill: $2,000,000,000,000 ($2 Trillion)
Dividing the cost by every in America is $6,051.74
The government could have given every person over $6,000, but instead will give $1,200 to each adult under a certain income.
