What happened to Cal.Governers Newsome's proposal to provide a $300 stimulus check for each Californian making under $30,000? It would be a great help to so many under income state residents . California has collected a windfall in regards to state taxation issues.
Am I 9% goes to the people the rest of our taxes goes to the Democratic politicians pockets
If Republicans don’t like it don’t take it.
YangDailyCast Trump, the GOP, and MAGA only flourish in an environment of fear. We need to change this dynamic. Implementing safety nets is a good start. (Universalhealthcare, LivingWage and UBI would help, too.)
Thank you, to President Biden, his hard working team. The house getting this done. And hopefully the Senate moves as fast. To help start the healing process, here in America. Thanks again, for fighting so hard for the people. It is very much appreciated.
Did the new deal provide funding for big corporations and political pet projects for places like Silicon Valley? The Democrats are using “trickle down” economics as well as any Republican ever has...
$1400 isn’t lifting anyone out of poverty. You spending 2 trillion give each family under 50k income a check for 500k. It would be cheaper and solve the problem.
Please help by donating to the Memorial for Chris Gatson. If you can’t donate a simple RT also helps! He passed away from a heart attack behind the wheel of his car while driving. He leaves behind his 2 yr old daughter & mother w/ cancer gofundme

Yet nothing for a reasonable Church.
Take the PORK out that is set for FOREIGN countries - its OUR MONEY not theirs!!!!!!! Remember that!
Now is the only time we can do a raise to the minimum wage. Don't believe the lies. They aren't going to be able to do a couple months down the road or in a separate bill. We cannot allow Biden to bully us off of this. We have waited 15 years, no more. DontKillItBernie

DoBetterExpectBetter DonateStimulusCheck
Blah blah blah. When do I get money?
We wouldn't have to lift people out of poverty if they were paid a livable wage. Once again, we are subsidizing the rich so they don't have to pay a living wage. Where's that story, NPR? Also, where is the story that Dems could easily pass $15 minimum wage if they wanted to?
So what is the point of the gop ? It’s like they hate “government”
AndrewYang

This is not even close to being as transformative as the New Deal. Fuck off.
WHO is comparing it to FDR's New Deal. Harris bailed on the $15 wage hike. Biden campaigned on $2,000, now $1.400? Bombs Syria and sticks kids back in the same cage Trump did. WHAT SAFETY NET?
FDR New Deal was horseshit!😝 If feeonline is correct...
No one is calling it that in sincerity... that's an incredibly trump esque framing
...Uplift packages don't life people out of poverty, sorry...
If you want the FULL deal, demand it. Medicare for All, $25/hr min wage tied to the Cost of Living Raises that Congress gives itself every year, and publicly funded college.
FDR and then LBJ declared a war on poverty In the 60’s. Poverty must still be winning ...
A true new deal and economic recovery takes planning. I want it, but not now. Boost with stimulus and then jump into long term relief. Damn, what about emergency doesn't take with our lawmakers
AndrewYang Lifting “people” out of poverty? Or putting the entire nation down into mass amounts of poverty. People are liars and it’s not gonna end well.
AndrewYang If the wealthy/politicians are making money by taxing our dollar, then wouldnt raising the min wage (or giving us more money) make them more money? Are they stupid, or am I missing something about economics?
Smaller version? I'd hate to know what a larger version is!
$1400 checks and some tax adjustments doesn't make a New Deal
'FROM(ME)!, THE JERRY STARR FREELANCE RADIO SHOW!,'THANK,YOU!!!, JOE AND KAMALA!!!'🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
Way to paint the jackass like a unicorn, NPR...only 9% is going to actual covid relief...how does that lift *anyone* out of poverty? This bill is an egregious abuse of power.
$15 minimum wage? Fire the... like Trent did!
Republicans During Trump: Covid is a hoax. Can’t blow up the economy because of the flu Republicans Under Biden: Biden isn’t doing enough to stop the pandemic
AndrewYang At least half of that money is going to the corporations again
AndrewYang so, is it democrats who advocate for printing more money?
In in j
Yay! Pittance for the peasants (who’s livelihoods were destroyed with impunity) and Pork for the parasites who never missed a paycheck.
Democrats are truly disconnected from reality if they thing this is in any way shape or form relatable to The New Deal. The new deal from a president that wants to cut social security and drop bombs in the middle east. Rightttttttttt
AndrewYang Money printer goes brrrrrrr
$15 min. wage,money for bridges &rails in Silicon Valley💰 Only 9% goes to the actual stimulus bill for Americans. stimuluspackage Billions will come right back into the stock market. I’m in the stock market and I live in SV & I can honestly say this is not right.
AndrewYang Lift people out of poverty? With $1400 or $15/hr Not sure what kind of accounting you do... THAT DOESN'T CUT IT!!
AndrewYang $2,000 stimulus checks? ❌ $15 minimum wage? ❌ Get kids out of cages? ❌ Bomb Syria? ✅ It's okay to criticize Biden/Harris when Biden makes promises he doesn't keep.
Who’s paying the bill for this?
AndrewYang LOL
Utter NONSENSE!!! NPR can't be relied upon. This statement should be enshrined as 'notorious'...for its misleading comparison.
Democrats love the welfare state.
AndrewYang So it’s the same as Trump’s first stimmy bill except includes talk of a $15 minimum wage that will get taken out? NPR has fallen so far in 5 years. Journalism has never been worse.
We need a bigger version of FDR’s New Deal.
This is gross propaganda. A program similar to the New Deal would be a revival of programs aimed to help those in need survive EVERY month. This is a package designed to aid those hurt during an emergency - a pandemic. NPR - you are a shell of your former self.
Lifting people out of poverty Are you brain damaged?
Yet every republican is against it? The GOP hate the very Americans they claim to represent. Why do they only want the wealthy to be wealthy? It's disgusting, degrading, and continuously drags our country into the worst light, shaming us in front of the world.
AndrewYang 'lifting people out of poverty' $1400 or $2000 should be sent to people monthly SpeakerPelosi SenSchumer JoeBiden KamalaHarris Senate stimulus UBI
AndrewYang 'Democratic priorities' have nothing to do with this slow in coming bill. Too little, too late. Why the media keeps adding poor Biden's name to it, it beyond me.
AndrewYang Laughable. If anyone is comparing this package to FDR's New Deal, it should be a poor showing.
Democrats are humanitarians.
AndrewYang lmfao okay sure. where’s M4A?
AndrewYang SenSanders ChrisCoons SenSchumer If you bypass the Parliamentarian & submit a revised Minimum Wage with employers getting tax beaks or incentives, do you think you could get Manchin & Cinema's votes?
What’s wrong with this concept? This hope? This dream, RepSchrader RepGolden ? ForThePeople BuildBackBetter AmericanRescuePlan
AndrewYang
Congratulations SpeakerPelosi . Let's get this passed asap..One year into this nightmare, and many Americans & Small Business are still struggling. SenateGOP SenateDems LeaderMcConnell SenSchumer
AndrewYang Tell me how bridge from New York State to Canada create a social safety net and/or saves us from the plague?
AndrewYang None of it is permanent, except the minimum wage hike. I don't agree with the lie that it's unrelated to Covid-19, but also don't buy the lie that it's transformative, permanent, or terribly progressive.
No one - literally no one — is, has, or will compare this bloated turd of a spending package to the New Deal.
AndrewYang Until that stuff gets cut out on the Senate floor
Rossputin Wow great headline! Next time go with 'Dems walk on water, make God jealous'.
Gdad1 Democrats are working hard to fulfill their promises to the American people. The Republicans are throwing hissy fits about it. It is very obvious which party is 'For the people and by the people' and that it isn't the GOP!
Maybe they should pass something instead of naming it first.
Sad day for America. 😪
New Deal comparison is completely delusional. It’s scraps for the working class while war profiteers stuff their faces.
So JoeBiden, Tony Blinken, and handlers held hostage $2000 and COVID Relief Bill just to give Democrat sheep something to celebrate to distract away from another illegal deadly US bombing of Syria, war crime, and atrocity?
May this money help those that desperately need it. To those that don’t need it but will still get it, pay it forward and give it to those in need. We will donate our family’s $5600 immediately upon receipt.
My fat ass it is
Amazing the comments by “Americans” here that have no idea how the system works or the facts of what happens in reality during these floor proceedings! Ignorance
And this quote from 'Shameless Mitch' McConnell accusing Dems of 'taking advantage of their new power' is priceless hypocrisy.
Why is it 'costly overkill' when it comes to working and poor people, and 'good for the economy' when it's huge tax cuts for the rich, as in 2017?
For support of the Senate's southern Democrats, FDR's 'New Deal' excluded the Black working class. This decision furthered the racial wealth gap seen today, and 1 ripple effect is the disproportionate number of CO-VID deaths in the Black community. Safe to say, it better not be.
I haven't received a stimulus check yet and doubt if I will ever receive one.. I could care less about a 66-78%? Vaccine effectiveness when surviving covid is 99.%. Seems like alot of money for the grand and great grand kids to pay back.
Lifting people out of poverty Wow!! Some Americans are paying 2k for a 1 bedroom in Brooklyn NY. They are behind months in rent and utilities. Please tell me how this helps them out of poverty?
So basically it has nothing to do with 🦠😷
'Republicans say many of the programs included in this bill have nothing to do with addressing the specific demands of the pandemic, like reopening schools and speeding up vaccine distribution.' Vaccine distribution has nothing to do with the pandemic? SaturdayThoughts
RepFredKeller You shouldn’t lie about it Freddy. There’s much more than Just9% in this bill and you know it.
By increasing the cost of nearly everything wouldn't that raise the 'poverty level' accordingly? Or, is this another gov't case of we'll deal with that later if & when people figure it out 🤔
New deal did more
Pandemic Aid Package? $140 million for an underground rail line connecting the San Francisco area. $40 billion to California’s government, despite the state reporting a $10 billion budget surplus. 9% of the bill will be used to fund public health. No Complaints?
Anyone comparing this to the New Deal is either a dumbass or a lying asshole
Keep the 15 and hour. It's 2021, corporations have too much power if they can cherry pick out whatever they want.
the lies arent working the same anymore your time slips away
This isn't going to lift anyone out of poverty. This is going to reinforce people's dependency on the government. I'm curious what punishments they will come up with for people that prefer to live their lives independent of government interference. People like our forefathers.
'which some are comparing to a smaller version of FDR's New Deal' lol. no.
Grateful.
Here’s what’s in the bill.
So what was the last two packages
Once this is over they will want more. You will just make millions more dependent on government money to survive instead of getting a job.
WhiteHouse 💁🏼♀️ “Fend for yourselves” in relative terms🤔 Congressional Republicans HouseGOP VOTED a ”Big fat Fuck U” to all their constituents! Let that sink in No Covid19 relief. No help for struggling businesses, or out of work Parents. No State or School funding!🥺
Lame. If you’re going to give out tax money to families for having a kid, give the same to those who don’t have a kid. Fair is fair.
Long time priorities? It’s the blue states that have created record breaking poverty and homeless.
RepMariaSalazar AGAIN on the wrong side of history, FAILING FL27. WE need this HELP. Se hace historia y MaElviraSalazar se OPONE a ayudar al distrito 27. ¿A quien se parece? Prosperidad pa’ella; basura pa’la gente. Dime con quién andas y diré qué eres. GOPtrash GOPHypocrisy
Meanwhile in Washington , all the politicians have and wil continue to receive paychecks and health benefits
If this isn't a clean bill on only a relief package, then it's just more dirty politics, why I don't trust any politicians and simply the wrong way to do things.
some are saying i am a smaller version of voltron
'some'
What I want to know is how is $1400 supposed to 'bring people out of poverty' when this 'pandemic' has forced people to lose their jobs, homes, and sanity? Suicide rate is higher that it's been, anxiety and depression is higher than its ever been but $1400 solves all?! GTFOH
The schools are closed and small business has been completely raped and shut down, relief for who?
'New deal'? Wtf? $1,400? Is the 'new deal'? Getting screwed again by both dems and repubs is still the 'deal', nothing 'new' about it.
So when Biden passes a $1.9 trillion stimulus (which he himself weakened and gutted), it's the second coming of FDR, but when Trump passes a $2.2 trillion stimulus, it's crickets.
imagine voting against $15 minimum wage hike then taking a nap. jim crow still exists CovidReliefBill
You want to pull people out of poverty. Give them jobs and economic opportunity and get government get out of the way.
We need something bigger than FDR, not smaller. Some American 'exceptionalism' this is.
Want to get people out of poverty. Create jobs. We can't leave our children with massive amounts of debt.
Talk about word salad....OMFG....tax $ STILL pay for this propaganda?
Still think Universal Healthcare was more critical than anything offered in this bill, but still appreciative for any breadcrumbs that might come my way
Haha it's nothing close to what the new deal was and even that was mired in opportunity for deregulation and handouts to private enterprise
The wealthiest would deny approval of raising the minimu. Wage for the working poor. But would still tax their dollar. Shameless! Lets raise taxes on the wealthiest and give credit breaks to the working class.
Reading the words “lifting people out of poverty” brought tears of joy. YES! LETS DO THAT AS ONE OF THE RICHEST COUNTRIES IN THE WORLD!!!
Now let's bring back the WPA for infrastructure, broadband, clean energy, fix schools, and other much loved WPA programs like public art, & oral histories.
Imagine comparing this to the New Deal. NPR has reached self parody.
Not even close to a New Deal without student debt relief, M4A, and min wage increase.
Yeah right. It's just a step forward into massive inflation. Are people really this uneducated about economics?
1400$ lifts out of proverty wtf kind of headline is that.
How dare anyone compare this trash to a smaller version of FDR’s New Deal. Took Biden a month and half to pass this crap. Not good enough.
COVID-19 is not real. The whole globe should’ve been put out of business if it’s that serious and we all should be wearing outbreak suits and disinfecting sprays every time we walk in our houses or in and out of employment; This is all about population control and money pandemc.
Oh please. We've already been lied to enough that the stimulus was going to be $2000. Creating a new social safety net? Lifting people out of poverty? I see no UBI, and we can't even get the one-time payment of $2000 we were promised. There's no M4A. There's no GND.
Where's all the other money going?
Smaller new deal? Pie crust crumbs are a smaller Cherry Pie
You guys will print anything won't you?

What is this 'On Motion to Recommitt'? Someone explain?
Since SenTedCruz announced tonight that Republicans are the 'party of hard-working blue collar men and women', one would think they, too, wish to lift people out of poverty. Sadly, the features they're objecting to are exactly the ones most helpful to the working class.
Please.
We need a FDR New Deal but bigger! Millions of people are needlessly suffering in the wealthiest country. SenSchumer TeamPelosi Do something! Unfortunately I and other working class people can’t afford to continue to do the job you should have done 1 yr ago, real COVID relief!
Don’t insult the New Deal like that.
What amount is allotted to America's 'friends'
Not 👏 good 👏 enough👏
And Republicans are PISSED because they LOVE Americans living in poverty. It’s where their trickle down goes.
Just like FDRs New Deal? Will we need another world war for it to succeed? FDRs new deal was an abject failure until wwii started.
Democrats are at the Capitol working to help Americans who need it. Republicans are in Orlando in a weekend-long tent revival of their Messiah of Malice.
Still less than half the $4.3 trillion the banks and hedge funds got last year. Don’t remember republicans opposing those.
Oink, oink.
Please get it done, for the people.
Let’s call it the Democrats 90% pork bill
Cue all the idiots who sold their vote for a measly 2k complaining about not getting their payout yet.
Pass it.
'Of the entire $1.9 trillion proposed, about $825 billion – or less than half – is directly related to COVID-19 relief. The majority of funds is dedicated to “expansions of progressive programs, pork, and unrelated policy changes.”
Did Nancy get the light rail for her district in the Covid bill ?
We needed a new deal in 2008. Obama mistakenly thought GOP would be reasonable. They were not. Hopefully, Dems won’t get fooled again. Mitch’s scales are clearly that of a cobra. He will dance for you, To get a better position to bite you. All he cares about is his power.
Here comes your savior after brutal abuse, am I surprised? No, but it would be kinda kool if you threw in a few pieces of cake for people.
npr now the new Pravda. State owned and controlled “media”
This is comical 😂 fakenews
'Could' doing some heavy lifting in this headline
wow
Should of called it the democratic priorities bill then
When they get the minimum wage through, we'll talk about a new deal.
