"d-d-don't judge american beer based on the beers that an overwhelming majority of americans drink, judge it based on a list of flavour of the month fruit punches." LOL
As usual, you don't have any idea what you are talking about.

only problem with that narrative is that it's complete bs. the trump spending had only little to do with covid, was overwhelmingly 'pork', and dems only agreed to it to get the desperately needed little help to people, and republicans wouldn't agree to anything more focused on the little guy. the biden package is focused on covid related issues, contains significantly more help to the average american, but republicans oppose it because it's not what their donors want.
if you're not just being a right wing hack in your post, uncritically regurgitating fox news narratives, if you genuinely believe that to be true, you should seriously take the time and read the details of both proposals - because your claim that the recent one is "non-covid spending" while suggesting trump's largely was, is nothing short of absurd...
The United States passed a historic response to the virus, including necessary funds for hospitals and vaccine distribution, a moratorium on evictions, unemployment checks, and direct cash transfers.
What the United States needs now is more targeted relief bill that takes aims at those who continue to struggle during this later half of the pandemic. Not indiscriminate funding for state / local governments and every Democratic wish list for the next decade.
