This bill should have come through clean, with absolutely no pork added in. It started as $800 Billion and ended up at $2 trillion.
Here's the real problem, that $2 trillion is misleading. It's actually much much higher because it's borrowed money.
What would have worked better, IMO, would have been to offer relief on unemployment (not at the level in the bill, which is going to come back to bite them), offer bridge loans to small business, bridge loans to big business. And then a tax holiday to everyone (under a determined income level) for the rest of 2020, IOW, no more fed tax taken from paychecks till Jan 1, 2021.
That would have supercharged the economy and franky been cheaper in the long run. Couple that with letting the executive start trimming major fat from gov agencies and shutting down programs that are already unnecessary, and a moratorium on ALL pork spending for 2020.

This bill should never have been voted on. Billions to Africa while people in our own country lost jobs? It's time for heads to roll.

This bill shows why we need to clean out congress and the senate, every single one gone, and start over.
We need term limits, and we need to end career politicians.
