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. . . .

Another thing that was revealed today is the fact that the Covid relief “bill” contains a trillion-dollar Pelosi and Schumer spending wish list. . . .

What we know so far is that the bill contains billions of dollars for other Democratic priorities including $350 billion to state and local government — of which New York can expect to see at least $50 billion — $130 billion in school funding, $19.1 billion to state and local governments as housing aid.

On Monday, the Committee for a Balanced Federal Budget’s latest report reported that the COVID-19 bill by the Democrats includes at least $312 billion in measures that have little or nothing to do with the virus. . . .

The statement also read that “at least $312 billion of policies that have little to do with the present crisis” was included in the Democratic legislation.

“Among the unrelated provisions are a pension bailout; expansions of the Child Tax Credit (CTC), the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), and the Child Care Tax Credit; an increase in the minimum wage to $15 an hour; and expansions of the Affordable Care Act (ACA),” the non-profit and non-partisan Committee stated. . . .

House Democrats established a rule that removed PAYGO limits on spending on COVID-19 and climate-related spending as well. . . .

The Democrats’ bill, according to the Committee, “would spend too much and would poorly target most of its expenditure relative to actual needs.”. . .

Thankfully, Not ONE Republican voted for it. (check legislator voting record).
Those that voted for it know full well what is in it and the Democrats basically told millions of Americans who actively opposed this pork filled junk bill to “go to h*** – we’re in charge and we don’t care what you say”. Irresponsible, non-accountable and arrogant people who NO LONGER serve our nation must be given over into God’s hand when they repeatedly refuse to listen across our nation.
> Lord, when elected leaders no longer adhere to restraint, moral responsibility or serving the nation, then we know we as your people have a mandate to work to remove them from office and any position of authority that was given to them. We do so through the election and legal process. We ask for godly leaders to rise up and replace them. We also ask you Lord to help remove them from office in whatever ways You Lord deem appropriate or necessary. We pray for their salvation and a change of heart and we commit them into Your hands Lord to do as you must. In Jesus name amen.<

This sickens me. Covid help is ok because I know there are some people out there who lost their jobs. But all the rest? This is not good stewardship of our taxpayer’s money. America does not have this money! We have to get loans for it which puts us more in debt. I don’t think we need the other “wish list” items, but even if we do they should be in a separate bill so it would be transparent for what people are voting for. It would get passed anyway since Congress can apparently do whatever they want now. I know God has a plan and I’m praying!

Stick to specific Covid relief. Many Americans don’t need the $1400 bail out. I disagree with the unrelated provisions: a pension bailout; expansions of the Child Tax Credit (CTC), the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), and the Child Care Tax Credit; an increase in the minimum wage to $15 an hour; and expansions of the Affordable Care Act (ACA).

Democrats are trying to run the United States in the ground making us desperate that we would except anything from anybody (foreign countries) like China. I think that is what Biden’s son was doing making deals with the Russians and China about energy so we will have to buy our energy from them. We have to keep our eyes open and be in continual prayer and not be quite. I still believe Trump will be our President again, God Bless all..

The ventriloquist puppet [sitting on George Soros’ lap] that is Biden, is signing Executive Orders without really knowing what he is signing. He struggles with the teleprompter that dictates what he must say [or else]. He is illegitimate and KNOWS full well that the election was stolen in multiple ways [see ‘Absolute Proof’ on michaeljlindell.com & find Peter Navarro’s comprehensive evidence docs].

Trump will be reinstated soon when ALL the evidence is brought out. Obviously we can’t trust the Supreme Court [thank you for your dissent Thomas, Gorsuch & Alito]. Military justice will be exercised in coordination with Divine Justice as the Holy Warrior Angels of YHVH GOD win the spiritual warfare that is raging heavy in the 2nd Heaven realm! Can we war on our knees in agreement? This IS ‘The Call’: https://zionsgate.wordpress.com/2015/01/12/prayer-the-church-and-the-next-great-awakening/

This is obviously a misuse of tax payer money. If this passes, we will be sending our tax money to pay for political power and control to the Democrats and their buddies. This is an agenda to fill their pockets.

Lord, This bill is way too big for way too much that should not be included. So much money has already been spent and has not solved any problems but put us in debt for generations so bind the evil that wants to help their friends who were poor leaders. I know cities, museums, etc need money but leaders should have been leading and we are not responsible. Bless the leaders in Congress who are standing up for Your will in America.

I’m not at all shocked that THIS BILL is just as lame as the last! Shoving $$ in the faces of Americans to get them to comply. I will NEVER stand on ANYTHING the Democrats propose. The are disgusting and EVIL. Lying hypocrites who claim to be the party of Women but do NOTHING when public officials commit crimes as sexual harassment and assault. Kill babies ESPECIALLY full term babies. What are we? Barbarians? The relief bill is COVID RELIEF and should help ONLY TAX PAYING “AMERICANS” not be useful to pay for ILLEGALS!!! They didn’t even pay in and aren’t supposed to be here!!!

They speak of billions as if it was very ordinary instead of a reflection of taxes paid by millions of people.
I sill recall the 10 million Mrs. Pelosi requested and received for new curtains at the Kennedy Performing Arts Center when I’m home under lockdown not going any where but the grocery store.
I have to wonder about their ability to relate to reality instead of this constant deception.
Now I pray for good stewardship in the eccelesia as we cope with political deception all over again.
