For John, BLUF: This links to the previous Blog Post, regarding the length of the COVID-19 Relief Bill. Nothing to see here; just move along.
Here is the sub-headline:
BY VICTORIA TAFT DEC 21, 2020.
Here is the lede plus one:
As feared, the so-called COVID relief bill is another behemoth Christmas tree offering by politicians spending your money on behalf of Uncle Sugar. This allegedly $900 billion bill ostensibly was written to help people wracked by the economic hit of COVID. It’s anything but. It’s another spendulous travesty and should be vetoed by President Trump – before Christmas. Opening the economy while encouraging best health practices is the appropriate response at this point. Congress has thrown $3.3 trillion at the problem during the coronavirus pandemic. It’s time to let the people run their own affairs.Read the whole thing to get a picture of the size of the trouble.The Washington Post calls it likely “one of the most costly bills” ever considered by any United States Congress.
Ever.
The only thing missing is money for a study of shrimps on a treadmill, a notoriously ridiculous program funded by the infamous Obama-era stimulus bill — a bill that threw money at anything and everything in hopes of jump-starting the U.S. economy after the housing crash of 2008-09.
I am not sure that President Trump should veto this bill. It has taken much too much time to get to this point. Let's take our lumps and then act to change Congress.
As we leave the 2020 Election behind us, almost, it is time to start thinking about 2022 and the nead to clean house on Capitol Hill. Some Republicans are saying focus local, and that is vitally important, but I am thinking we need to challenge the House of Representatives as well. It is not working for "We the People."
