Right Wing Radical Repugnican Vote Buying With Federal Money

While it still has to be approved by the House of Representatives and signed by the TRAITOR Trump, the US Senate approved a $2trillion dollar Corona Virus assistance bill last night, March 24, 2020, and sent it to the House. TRAITOR Trump and his Right Wing Radical Repugnican co-conspirators must be held responsible for their disastrous handling of the entire response to the Corona Virus pandemic.  It is now being reported that most of the Repugnican governors in the nation are also speaking out against the asinine and ignorant idea being espoused by TRAITOR Trump that we can send the work force back to work by Easter which is less than three weeks away.  Also, Governor Andrew Cuomo of New York has stated that the payment in the bill of $3.8billion to his state cannot begin to cover the anticipated cost of at least $15billion which the virus eradication and treatment effort will cost. 
House Speaker Pelosi has stated to the press that the House will consider the bill.  Her official statement said: “House Democrats will now review the final provisions and legislative text of the agreement to determine a course of action.”  Based on what I have seen in the news media, the bill appears to be in many ways both a giveaway to several segments of business and a blatant attempt by #MoscowMitch McConnell, TRAITOR Trump, and the Repugnican party to buy votes with federal money.  It also includes a provision for most lower and middle class citizens to receive a payment of $1,200 for each adult and an additional $500 for each child in a household. But the publicized economic thresholds for eligibility to receive this cash subsidy actually extend all the way to $99,000 per individual and $198,000 per couple with an additional $500 per child per household thrown into the deal.  Those numbers are far too high to be realistic.  Any single person making $99,000 per year or any couple making $198,000 per year who are in financial trouble now are simply in that condition based on prior bad management of their money and not primarily due to the Corona Virus. It would have been far more rational and effective if the income limits had bene lowered to something near $50,000 per individual and $100,000 per couple and then added the money saved to the payments to those lower income families up to about $4,000 or $5,000 per family and $700 per child in each household.  This issuance of federal financial assistance to suffering famiies is a good thing on the face of it; but, it is still an attempt to mitigate anger toward TRAITOR Trump, #MoscowMitch McConnell, and the Repugnican party due to their having so horribly screwed up the response to the Corona Virus pandemic.  It is simply an attempt to apply a Bandaid to family suffering which is greater and to buy votes with federal money from those recipients who are gullible enough to fall for the lie and the bribe. Ever since this issue of possible federal financial assistance has been discussed, I have suggested that all of us who are financially stable and receive a check immediately donate the amount of that check to one of the following entities: the campaign office of the Democratic presidential nominee, the Senate Democratic Campaign Committee, the House Democratic Campaign Committee, or the national Democratic party in order to help regain control of all three branches of government.

As I understand what I have read so far about this bill, it does contain one key provision which I am certain the Democratic senators and congress people probably had to fight tooth and nail in order to win. That provision states that TRAITOR Trump, his businesses, and his family members and their businesses, along with members of the house and senate cannot receive any of the loans which it makes available to both large and small businesses.  This provision is also an aspect of the bill which I sure the Democratic senators and congress members had to fight tooth and nail to get. If this bill had been passed by both houses of congress and signed into law without that provision, it would have served to further reward TRAITOR Trump for his TREASON and his disastrous responses to this pandemic.  Every American voter needs to make sure to drag themselves to the polls whenever the November 2020 presidential election takes place and vote to send a rational human being to the White House to protect this country for further disasters being perpetrated by TRAITOR Trump, his Russian Master Vladimir Putin, his family, and his Right Wing Radical Repugnican co-conspirators.
