Democrats formally unveiled their $1.9 trillion coronavirus rescue package in the House — and the big-spending measure was swiftly panned by GOPers as a bloated “liberal wish list.”

The 591 page bill unveiled Friday night includes $1,400 direct checks to eligible Americans making less than $75,000 a year, extensions for $400 in federal unemployment benefits and the long sought Democratic priority of a federal minimum wage increase to $15.00.

But what is more important is the fact that only 9% of the $1.9 Trillion Covid-19 bill will be used for Covid-19.

    What does raising the minimum wage have to do with Covid relief is another question that will go unanswered.

    Of the tens of billions that are ear marked for the schools none of that money will be spent in 2021. It has nothing to do with Covid. Rats are rewarding their supporters with taxpayer dollars. They even have another billion dollar reboot of the Pigford fraud.

    Anyone else think it's odd that Dazzler the more fiscally responsible alternative has no problems with this?

    Seriously, this is just the stimulus fraud under Obama all over again. Nearly all of the money that was supposedly allocated to create jobs went straight into the pockets of Rats party donors and constituency groups.

    With unemployment hovering near 10 percent nearly two years after President Obama signed his economic stimulus package, Mr. Obama is acknowledging that, despite his campaign promises, "there's no such thing as shovel-ready projects."


    The president gave that remark in an hour-long interview with the New York Times.

    Mr. Obama also told the Times that he should have "let the Republicans insist on the tax cuts" in the stimulus, rather than including them himself, so the package would have seemed more like a compromise. The stimulus package, which the Congressional Budget Office said this year will cost $862 billion, included $236 billion in tax cuts. Nevertheless, the president said in the interview that he comes across as "the same old tax-and-spend Democrat."

    When the president campaigned for the stimulus package at the start of his presidency, he and others in his administration repeatedly insisted the investments would go to "shovel-ready" projects -- projects that would put people to work right away. As recently as August, however, local governments were still facing delays spending the money they were allocated from the stimulus, CBS News Correspondent Nancy Cordes reported.

    This is a CBS report trying to make the lying ass look good. Note Obama whining about coming across as a tax and spend democrat. Who gives a shit that he lied about jobs? He's being framed poorly. Poor guy
