How many trillions?

[Deadon]

I'm kind of pissed at Trump. They're talking about a couple more trillion for infrastructure and I would bet tons of BS stuffed in. How many trillions will this virus cost us?

It wouldn't be bad if they were sending straight to the people but whenever a bill passes it just includes more pork.

Enough is enough!

I hear of 3 installments totaling $5-6 billion.

Why pissed at President Trump? He is only responsible for signing, and would be skewered even more than he already is if he pushed back or refused.

The legislation comes from the House, is ratified by the Senate, and then sent on to the POTUS’ desk for signature. Blame the Congress critters, and those who saw fit to hand the majority back to the Demonrats.

I do wish POTUS would have line-item vetoed the pork out of the last bill, but understand the decision given the proximity to the 2020 election cycle.

As MANY as it takes, to get re-elected...

There were no "no" votes in the Senate

Trump

Trump has always been on board with and proponent of a massive infrastructure program - that's his thing really (construction). In fact the democrats have been his biggest ally on that endeavor because of the unions wanting it I'm sure. It sucks, I like seeing infrastructure as much as the next guy but not at what we pay for it in this country. Until there is a prevailing wage reckoning I'd always vote to hold it off. The stories of guys making 100's an hour on the bay bridge are daunting and it sucks that tax payers will get soaked by these union thugs for more of it.

Didn't read through the hundreds of pages...any mention of wall funding in all the 'pork'?? I'm thinking not.

It will cost all the trillions.

[DrjonesUSA]

Eleventeen trillion.

Mark my words.

In all seriousness; look at it through the lens of hopefully Trump is using this as an opportunity to end the fed, & look on the bright side.


Hopefully.....

This is what a trillion dollars looks like

Does it mean we will never have an economic freeze like this again?

Does it mean we will never have an economic freeze like this again?

Absolutely. Not until the next time.

A trillion here, a trillion there, pretty soon we're talking real money.

I wish Trump had vetoed that bill, but with 96-0 support in the Senate, and not even enough interest in the House for an actual vote, he would have been simply delaying the inevitable.

Senate Republicans should have put an end to the BS spending right at the start, but McConnell said to "Gag and vote on it." Very disappointed in the Senate Republicans. They hold the majority but get pushed around by the Democrats.
