The COVID Relief Bill Is Crap, and Other Things You Already Knew
[RightScoop] Well, Merry Effing Christmas! Congress has come to an agreement on the much ballyhooed COVID Relief Package!

My colleague Bonchie has already given the particulars, so I won’t belabor the finer points:
"Yesterday, Congress announced a deal had been reached on a new COVID relief bill, at least insofar as getting it to the floor for a vote. In reality, almost no one has actually read it. This all happened after months of stonewalling by Democrats as Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer sought to ensure maximum political damage occurred to President Trump. They played a cynical game with people’s lives and the media praised them for it.

"Well, now we are getting details about this newest "compromise." You’ll be less than shocked to learn that the bill is mostly trash, full of unrelated spending, and short on help for average Americans. In fact, only 1/5th of the bill goes to sending relief checks directly to the people."
As far as I’m concerned, instead of a lump of coal, it’s a turd in the stocking of Americans. Coal at least has a purpose, and doesn’t stink to high heaven of hypocrisy.

Now House and Senate leaders are blowing smoke up each other’s hind parts, and doing the cable shows as though they’ve done something monumental. We worked sooo hard for the American people. I think that’s supposed to be your job, right? Glad you finally got that.

Apparently, the incoming administration is also on record praising this "bipartisan" effort. They talk about this like they did 10 rounds with Mike Tyson instead of having dinners catered and lobbyists sending the copy. All they have to do is wipe flop sweat and floss for the cameras.
