Guess ole Mitch did not read my emails I have been sending him. He did not get the message. This is what has leaked out about the "new" plan. It's sucks and they are not talking but one payment of a chump ass amount and they might take it down to only the people making under $40,000 because TBA means ole Mitch is talking under $40,000 a year will get a check. Over nada, zilch, nothing.

I'm not voting for him at this time. Where is my recurring check? No pay, no play.

Some highlights with some added comments of course. I got an attitude problem tonight. LOL

$20 billion direct payments to farmers. (why? because the restaurants are closed and not buying their food? the only reason I can think of anyway because I am seeing holes in my grocery stores.)

$5 billion for vaccine distribution overseas (why? Who are we vaccinating overseas beside the military and they should have their own money for meds and such. This is just another vaccine for them in a long line of many of them.)

Stimulus Payments These will be included,but the amount of the payment and eligibility criteria are TBA (LMFAO)

And don't worry, they got the businesses handled with a streamlined program coming online to "forgive" them their "loans". When you get a loan "forgiven", that money is considered income for tax purposes. It is for you as an individual anyway. So how's this going to work out? Loans up to $1 million dollar are to be "forgiven". FREE MONEY FOR BUSINESS. ALL FREE!!!! But not for thee, the American worker and taxpayer. You will be paying taxes on your unemployment for sure. It's the way it works. You are screwed again.

Of course, businesses will get liability protect in case you get sick at work. They will not have to do anything for you and you will not be able to sue them. They are "special" people now. And businesses get a tax break. Another tax break on top of all the tax breaks they get now. Yeah, I know they pay some taxes, but not at the percentage the average American citizens pays by a long shot. As usual, we are getting the short end of that stick.

No money for the states and local governments. That is to be negotiated. I'm not looking for it.

This bill is a crock of shit. Mitch still has not stepped up to the plate. I won't be voting for him if this is their bill. LMFAO Those idiots in DC need to go. Oh yeah, they threw seniors a bone. They will not be raising the price of your Medicare Part B premium. After all, why should they? Trump just took the price of dope way down so there's no profit in it anymore is there? And if they jack up the price for you, you will just go to Canada and drop that Medicare Part B drug plan because it's not worth the money as your drugs will be cheaper from Canada. LMFAO But they will jack up Medicare Part A premium to make up for it never fear. I am sure of it. They can not help themselves because Congress and the Senate voted themselves a raise with the very first covid bill. Sweet of them and so thoughtful to of them selfish bastards. Before the Senate and Congress got involved in it, a lot of people bought their dope from Canada. But as that was bypassing the drug companies in the USA, they made a law you couldn't do that anymore. Remember that? But Trump just reversed that law, no thanks to Congress and Senate snakes.

Original Message U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said Saturday that Republicans were set to roll out the next COVID-19 aid package Monday and assured there was backing from the White House after he and President Donald Trump’s top aide met to fine-tune the $1 trillion proposal that had floundered just days before.

Mnuchin told reporters at the Capitol that extending an expiring unemployment benefit — but reducing it substantially — was a top priority for Trump. The secretary called the $600 weekly aid “ridiculous” and a disincentive for people to go back to work. He also promised a fresh round of $1,200 stimulus checks would be coming in August.
