Republican asks for $10,000 stimulus checks for Americans

[havoc00]

In a last ditch effort to counter the $1.9 trillion coronavirus package passed by the U.S. House of Representatives in the early hours Saturday morning, frustrated Arizona Republican Rep. Paul Gosar submitted an amendment that slashed non relief spending and offered $10,000 stimulus checks instead.

“I offered an amendment to prioritize $10,000 stimulus checks to Americans most affected by COVID-19 and lockdowns,” Gosar said in a statement to Fox News Saturday. “Instead, Democrats chose foreign aid, Big Tech transit, and Pelosi’s political priorities over direct relief to American citizens.”

Gosar’s amendment called for the removal of 10 agenda items out of the American Rescue Plan’s more than 200 sections, including funding for the arts, federal and corporate transit projects, “vaccine confidence activities” and foreign aid.

The proposal was an attempt to show that by removing non COVID-related funding, Congress would be able to provide substantially more cash in-hand for the U.S.’s most financially vulnerable.

One thing is clear.

COVID relief bills aren't really about COVID.

They are about pushing partisan agendas.

True what they say.. never let a good crisis go to waste..

Well done

[wickedman]

Sounds good to me, only kind of large, rushed, bills that should be getting passed IMO.

Typical socialist Republicans

This bill is a democrat sponsored one.

Correct, it is disgusting.

[bluebeltATT]

No shame either

Shame is the opposite of pride, which they have no pride so have no idea what shame is.

How can anybody have a problem with this?

How can anybody have a problem with this?

Because it cuts money out for tranny studies in Indonesia

[Dave22reborn]

Why would any of that money be going to a single foreign country?

Political posturing. Gosar voted against the stand-alone bill to increase the $600 checks to $2000 but suddenly wants to give everyone $10000? Yeah fukking right.

1.9 trillion = 8.6k for every adult in Murrica, but that's not what Biden voters want. Better that corporations and government slush funds get more of the money than people

Sick. I could pay off the rest of my 4Runner.

In reality I need to check my privilege seeing as how there are kids in third world countries who need money for gender reassignment surgery.

Fukc, we have a real life genius posting here boys. Put on your thinking caps.

[markkillerings]

Might as well. Why send that money anywhere else if this is really about Americans being affected by Covid.

[IPoopStandingUp]

Sometimes I think the lefties don't know how to address any problem without ramming through huge lists of all their childish fantasies.

I don't know what we can do about it. Republican resistance seems fake. They could have won 2020 by offering bigger checks to the american people at a much lower price tag with all the pork removed, but instead let the issue ride on no checks vs some checks so that people voted democrat. Either the republicans are incompetent at marketing, or they are in on this.

[JayJ350]

Republicans are the party of the people. Democrats are the party of "phuck you, the money is going to our elite partners"

[Darkius]

A big chunk is money to gender reassignment surgeries in third world countries. I doubt that is where it is really going though. It is just a cover for fraud, paying off our foreign overlords.

Why are republicans cucks?
