This relief bill is becoming a disaster. The House bill has carbon emissions restrictions on airlines, same day voter registration, a raised minimum wage, $1 billion for low income cell phones, paying off some student loan debt and a $35 million grant for the Kennedy Center of Arts. Sheesh - can we just once get a quick bill passed to help people without overloading it with political crap?
It looks like the Senate bill was atleast changed to not allow the $500 billion to be spent on company stock or executive compensation. As much as I don't like McConnell, I think I have to side with him over Pelosi here. It's almost like she doesn't want anything passed at this point so she can blame Trump as people foreclose on their houses and can't make bills.
