During a pro forma session, Democratic lawmakers in the chamber sought universal consent to pass a standalone bill to increase the stimulus payment amount. House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy denied consent and blocked the attempt.

In response, Democrats blocked a counter-proposal from McCarthy that seeks revisions to language in the attached spending bill pertaining to spending earmarked for state and foreign operations, which Trump criticized as "wasteful."

So, McCarthy put a stop to the increase in payouts until the waste can be cut correct?


Question, how many bills are there?

Theres atleast a spending bill with the foreign welfare and pet projects referred to as the omnibus spending bill.

And the "COVID relief bill", which I'm sure also has plenty of waste:

On Dec. 21, lawmakers in both chambers of Congress passed a $2.3 trillion spending package: a roughly $1.4 trillion omnibus spending bill — consisting of 12 different bills to fund the government during fiscal year 2021 — and a separate, approximately $900 billion bill specifically for COVID-19 relief.

Lawmakers also passed several other smaller bills.It’s the $1.4 trillion part of the package that included funding for U.S. policies and priorities within the country and abroad.

The Facebook post conflates provisions of the COVID-19 relief bill with provisions in the omnibus spending bill.

Are these bills signed separately?

If so, which ones do you think Trump think will or wont veto?



Here is a link to the $2,000 increase that is being called a "stand alone" bill:

(b) EFFECTIVE DATE.—The amendments made by this section are contingent upon the enactment of the COVID-related Tax Relief Act of 2020 and shall apply (if at all) as if included in the enactment of section 272 of such Act.

Does this mean that the payout increase been tied to the passing of the entire bill?

I'm guessing that they are referring to the COVID bill not the omnibus bill, assuming they can be signed separately.

Typical Democrats. Always wanting to spend money we don't have.

Remember it was Trump himself who signed his name on Omnibus, “Emergency” spending bill, proudly started up Operation Warp Speed, and committed to Bill Gates more funding. GAVI being yet another.

If folks have not learned by now that both parties are responsible for the Globalist Agenda...

Republicans have a very bad and repeated habit of funding these initiatives, leaving Democrats to roll them out and then get blamed.

Youre correct in general.

But Trump doesnt know every item in that 5000+ page bill, no one person does.

And now that its been exposed, regardless of the fact that its SOP, the people are pissed.

This is a great opportunity to get that $#@! out of there.

You are looking past the problem and giving passes.

Trump is a businessman who deals with Contracts, executive boards and staffing most of his adult life. He knows exactly what is in those bills. Also, Trump himself discussed these things when he sat with Gates, at least a couple of times, and committed the dollars to him, amounting to Trillions.

Don’t count on GAVI being considered “pork”. Most of the republicans I speak with don’t care at all about that $4 Billion at all. All they care about are “foreign countries”, completely ignoring the NW agenda.
