[quote:Coastie Patriot:MV80NjM2OTI0XzlGNTVGNTQ=] President-elect Joe Biden greeted the passage Monday night of a massive, 6,000-page coronavirus relief and spending bill with calls for more spending on the pandemic in the new year. The House and the Senate both passed the bill by overwhelming, veto-proof majorities after having just a few hours to read the voluminous text of the legislation. The bill provided $900 in coronavirus relief funding, including $300 for expanded federal unemployment benefits and $600 checks for households — half of the amounts provided by initial relief legislation earlier this year. But it also included $1.4 trillion to fund the rest of the government — including massive pork projects and pet causes of politicians on either side of the aisle. Joe Biden @JoeBiden I applaud this relief package, but our work is far from over. Starting in the new year, Congress will need to immediately get to work on support for our COVID-19 plan. My message to everyone out there struggling right now: help is on the way. The Associated Press @AP BREAKING: Congress has passed a $900 billion COVID relief bill, authorizing new aid to individuals and businesses as the pandemic persists. http://apne.ws/wfLIJSI https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2020/12/22/joe-biden-greets-passage-of-6000-page-relief-bill-with-call-for-more-spending/ [/quote]

I applaud this relief package, but our work is far from over. Starting in the new year, Congress will need to immediately get to work on support for our COVID-19 plan.
My message to everyone out there struggling right now: help is on the way.
