last detail i heard was DNC senators wanted Kamala to "use her powers" to keep the 15$ wage in, which basically sounded like sillyness akin to people calling on Pence to not certify the electoral college results.

end around rules committees to push through things on the basis of "wildly popular with the population". despite that hiccup it seems fairly ironed out.

The House passes the $1.9 trillion Covid aid package, a major step in easing some of the pain caused by the pandemic. It next goes to the Senate.




so checks might go out next week, unless senate somehow stops it

Gimme deh stimmy.

The stimulus is a vessel, it's over-popular and very important. Trying to loading it with harder-to-pass stuff is laws of physics.
But it should have been done much earlier already, in full winter ofc. Seems "moderated" democrats are not able to understand this.

Does anyone have a site or graph that breaks down the 1.9 tri stimulus by the numbers?

Thank you in advance.

Oh they put the $15 minimum wage in bill, it's just going to get sent back to house

hope it passes Ontario got fucked by Doug ford and stop it from raising for another 4+ years...

1.1T in pork barrell spending, 800B in covid-relief and stimulus-related spending

I'm seeing that it's 9-10% in covid-relief and stimulus related spending (I think it was foxnews), I guess that's not correct then?
