Bare minimum of what is needed

Should of been more businesses closed state lockdowns, people going to food banks. Where’s the help Trump 🤔vote him out👍

Anyone interested in working as a personal assistant paying $700 weekly. Send me direct message...

Where is the money coming from? High tax payers like Trump? Hell, no. Us little guys.

Stop trying to win the presidential election by giving out freebies! Disgraceful pos!!

Would it go back to all the miss months we got no federal unemployment

nprbusiness 'through january' lol

stop doling out “free” money. this is getting embarrassing. the US is grossly in debt. it really is a monetary travesty we are witnessing right now.

So the Ds are willing to compromise. That is admirable and should be applauded. It’s your turn Rs. As a conservative, I urge GOP to actually realize they’re not always right and compromise is what this country needs to help break the polarization that is ensnaring it!

So start flooding Moscow Mitchs inbox and PassTheHEROESActNow

They all better do something

2.2 Trillion is scaled back? Welcome to the Unites States of Debt

I dont understand why people are still out of work. There are no businesses closed in my town

BREAKING: President Trump Nominated for THIRD NOBEL PEACE PRIZE for the 'Trump Doctrine' via gatewaypundit plz share!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh look finally a damn bill that isn't automatically DOA. House original proposal partisan garbage, Senate proposal more of the same.

Who cares? If it won’t pass in the Senate, Dems should just say it’s $1200 a week for unemployment and payments of $3000. All they are doing is pissing into the wind.

You couldn't get a better picture of Nancy

Where are you senate republicans?

And if Senate passes it (very large if) Trump would take credit for it. Unfortunate, but not a reason for it not to pass. Trump and McConnellll probably don't want it because it might help people they hate. Not very strategic thinking. What does one expect from a broke Pres?

that sounds amazing - who pays for that?

0.2 trillion for me ✋🏻

Needs to be 3x that much to each person because of what they have done by shutting it down and taking almost a year to reopen

I hope so because my roof needs fixing. :(

It's not going to get passed in the Senate. As much as I would love to see the aid package passed, the House needs to focus on something that will get through the Senate. Otherwise, they are just wasting everyone's time while families go hungry and into debt.

Please. I don't need it but I know several who do.

Remember when we thought the 700 billion dollar Stimulus plan was a lot of money?

GOP r playing politics w your lives. Dems passed a stimulus bill in May. Mitch n his minions didn’t want to take it up bcos it’s too much free for u n ur families that are suffering. They don’t hesitate to give billions to their business buddies n now want to ram a scotus nominee

OPEN EVERYTHING BACK UP!!!!! THIS IS ALL B.S. The politics are killing small business.

2.2 trillion! Trivia.. how many years is 2.2 trillion SECONDS?

Too much

Not holding my breath for this bill to go through.

It doesn't make sense to legalize racial discrimination in California. RT if you agree and Vote NoOnProp16

Democrats and Republicans really talk to walls

Yes. We all need free stuff!! Free free free. Someone else needs to be responsible for my bills

Another $2.2 trillions, which will bring the national debt to $26 trillions or 100% of the GDP. We are doomed..

Should have been done about three months ago. Nothing's going to happen now until after the election.

Not the same Dems who blocked a recent attempt by the GOP?! I wonder what sort of garbage they lumped in to their proposal...

JacobDavison_ Does this include any retroactive pay for unemployment going back to August?

Lmao the Democrats aren't going to get anything else through this year.

We need to put Term Limits on Congress and cut their pay! Too much time off when there is unfinished business. We pay the price when life long members make deals, now we suffer Democrat's revenge when they should have done their job in'16 with Obamas judge. They only hurt us!

Suddenly they NEED TO DO SOMETHING?

👎🏻👎🏻

To mobs and riots pockets for not working on a decent job , but being free to go to streets and having healthy impression after elections and giving ordinary people headaches and stress. Enough is enough.

The ridiculous snort I just made upon reading this.

My rent is $2,300...why don't they just Google the average rent for each state and send people money that will pay their rent and bills? This is why I say take money out of politics because these rich elites are so out of touch with every day Americans it's astonishing

Nice! Make republicans choose a judge or helping the people!

Will the GOP ever remember the people that voted for them? They gave the people struggling the most $1200 then promptly forgot about them. There’s time to confirm judges in a pandemic but there seems to be no time for anything else.

Good evening, Monday evening

Republicans “aht aht....Are there any jet fighters and missiles in this bill?”

So they (Republicans) know there days are numbered. Why would they contribute to a populace that kicked them out of office?

All very helpful, as long as people like my mother (who has now been dead for two years) doesn’t get a check. I applaud congress on their continued efforts to drag us out of this mess, but please make sure Trump’s treasury has an accounting of who is alive and able to benefit.

The $600 is over the top. People shouldn’t get more than they did while working.

I want $2000 a month retroactive to March, and through 2021 until we have an actual fucking leader who can get a handle on this thing. Donald Trump did this to us. Add it to his tab.

Dems keep trying. Meanwhile, Senate Repubs can’t even agree among themselves about what they want. “Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., has proposed his own $300 billion bill, but that legislation failed in the Senate earlier this month.“

God the Dems just feel like Marge trying to keep us alive, and Trump is Homer drunk on power and making shit worse.

Only because MoscowMitch refuses to approve the HEROES Act. Meanwhile, we have six new radical extremist judges packing the courts.

Honestly, the government needs to send all of us between $3,000-$5,000 for mandatory mask, extra cleaning supplies, gloves, and the added expenses in interest rates many have occurred threw shutdown. Nancy acts like its her personal checkbook, not money to help people!!

At 2152 pages, it's pork for Pelosi's poodles.

POS Heroin Act drugged up Pelosi cooked up in her meth lab is completely ridiculous and loaded with BS pork that have NOTHING to do with COVID. Looks like the ignorant omnibus budget she snuck in last year. Not gonna happen Nancy. Go home Nancy you're infected

Is this the BILL that Bails out California? Just seems that the little people are only getting a Few Hundred Billion...where is the rest of the MONEY going? It has got to be GOING Somewhere Nancy! Why don't you TELL us?

That’s still less than $750!

Work = overrated

Still waiting for my FIRST $1200 check. I paid more than that in taxes this year (wow, almost 7 times what Donnie paid) and I still can't get my stimulus check.

what part of it’s not enough don’t these ghouls understand

If gov’t really wants to help the economy then they need to limit regulation of sm biz owners allowing them to decide how & when to open doors to consumers. Don’t be fooled gov’t is controlling you right now.

Holy shit. I just realized the end of Q3 is TWO DAYS AWAY. Man, trump is so, so screwed.

Let’s see if the GOP will help the American people.

House 2, Senate 0. Your tune SenateGOP senatemajldr

It’s not much but my family could use an extra $1200. Sad to say, savings is gone, job is gone, life is gone.

And senatemajldr better get his SenateGOP to pass it. Mfers.

NO GFYS

Paid to riot. i'm DOWN!

Bipartisan or bust!

Plenty of livelihoods on the line here. Honestly though, how many people out there have contemplated the suicide booth recently?

$600? realDonaldTrump doesn't pay that in a year in taxes! Brokeahontas BrokeAssTrump BrokeAssPresident

Omg ANOTHER round of $1200 payments? You guys shouldn’t, really. 🤡

It's just going to sit on Mitch McConnell's desk. The Republican party is not interested in helping the American people.

Do you agree Joe Biden is hiding in his basement from the American People?

open up the economy and let people go back to work

Republicans see this...

They LOVE SPENDING money, growing the debt under trump to blame him for all the spending they are doing. Democrat controlled congress is becoming the true enemy of the state

Too bad the Senate will kill it.
