As people are suffering from the government-imposed shutdowns across the United States, Congress finally came together to use your tax dollars to pay a whole list of foreign nations. The $900 Billion stimulus bill is tacked on to a $1.4 Trillion spending bill.
Yes, you might get $600 back from the $2,700 or so that Congress is taking from you. Perhaps you should be thankful, but many aren’t feeling that way.
The bill is said to be over 5,000 pages long and Congress members claimed they only had a couple of hours to read through it, obviously not enough time. But, they voted for it anyway.
As Pelosi famously states “You have to pass it to see what’s in it”.
When it comes to American taxpayer dollars, it pays to be a foreign country.
Let’s take a look at who actually benefits from our tax dollars.
Sudan is a winner. They are getting $700 million from Americans.
So is Burma, Cambodia, Vietnam...
The Stimulus Bill:
The gov't closes the economy. You lose your job. You face eviction.
$600 for all your troubles.
Meanwhile they send:
$135 million to Burma
$85.5 million to Cambodia
$1.4 billion for "Asia Reassurance Initiative Act"
$130 million to NepalThey hate you. pic.twitter.com/95U2Qt4uNa

But there's way more, don't you worry.
- “Unspecified funds” for not-for-profit gender-accessible education institutions in Kabul, Afghanistan (page 1477)
- $15 million for Pakistani democracy programs and an additional $10 million for “gender programs” (page 1486)
- $505,925,000 to Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Panama to address the migration of unaccompanied, undocumented minors to the United States” (pages 1490-1491)
Check out the list of nations that are benefitting from your tax dollars through the passage of this bill.
And this is just what we know so far. It's bound to get much worse.
There were only six senators that voted against it:
Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), Ted Cruz (R-TX), Ron Johnson (R-WI), Mike Lee (R-UT), Rand Paul (R-KY), and Rick Scott (R-FL).
But, hey, you might get $600.
Americans don't want a handout, we want our jobs and businesses back. And we certainly don't want our jobs and businesses taken from us only to provide a handout to every other country on Earth.
Please Pray for America; If this madness continues our once great country will only be a memory. We have a leader who recognized our greatness. So naturally he gets denounced in this upside down world. Let’s have a do over and save our country.
Need to take care of Americans first. Forget other countries. They never come to help us so why should we give them our money. Forget it!
The entire U S budget is loaded with pork for anti United States governments and entities. Congress should be required to go back to annual zero base budgets and each entity that receives Federal funding be identified and the budget be published in local newspapers for two consecutive weeks before Congress can vote on the proposal.
Sounds good to this Octopus.
i’m thinking about the saying god helps those who help themselves. i believe we are past time for prayers it is time we rise up and hang a bunch of liberal socailists in the goverment starting with pelosi and shummer. we will have easy access to them when they come home for christmas, we won’t even have to go to d.c.
Jimmie Jimmie Jimbo ☺ you get in trouble making threats to government..even if they’re CRIMINAL!!In my opinion it’s mostly cops,of some sort,who pop off in this manner,there by baiting the hook for some dumb💩because entrapment is the lazy way🐭
We fought the british empire and won for so much less than what these globalist bastards and rotten to the core Congress who just threw us a bone like we r their dogs yet gave BILLIONS TO OTHER NATIONS.
ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN THEIR LIES,CROOKED TRAITORS
This is the “SWAMP” President Trump has been fighting against for almost 4 years. As you can see, the crap flowing into the cesspool is only going to grow with the lying, cheating, we all stand together DEMOCRATS will do over the next four years if they are successful in lying and cheating during the upcoming Georgia Senatorial election run-offs here in January 2021. If we do not stand united against this democratic party – we will never have a legal election for President of the United States of America again.
I hope the President VETOES this sorry piece of legislation💰💩Billy Gates will receive $3.3 billion wtf 😲
Did anyone say REVOLUTION ??
ME
I listened to some of the mainstream media & they are all parroting that The awful Trump is vetoing the bill, but they don’t stop to say why, Nancy Pelosi & her partners in creating the monstrous bill that gives millions of our tax payers dollars to foreign countries & other pork projects of the democrats. I would not call it a Covid Relief bill, it is a 6000 page Pelosi/ leftist bill, a monstrous bill that any sane person would not approve just to get a 600.00 check. How long do we have to put up with Pelosi’s evil agenda,
All the more reason President Trump needs to invoke the insurrection act and declare Martial Law. We can’t allow these people within walking distance of the WH. We need Military Tribunals to put some of these Traitors in jail. The election steal and these unconscionable criminal outlays of US Tax Dollars is beyond the pale.
the time is long past due when these types of bills should be subject to
line item veto-so that the heart of the bill —
money for american people –
money for america’s businesses –
and money to rebuild america-
get to the correct places
and ridiculous wastes of money get scrubbed off the bill-
REPUBLICANS—————–
IT IS TIME TO STAND UP FOR THE AMERICAN REPUBLIC-
IN LESS THAN A MONTH THE DEMOCRATS WILL BE PUTTING
A BULLET IN THE BRAIN OF A ONCE GREAT COUNTRY-
THEY HAVE LIED -CHEATED -AND STOLEN THEIR WAY TO THE WATER
TROUGH AND NOW THEY INTEND TO POISON THAT WATER AND REFUSE
EVERY AMERICAN THE VERY FOUNDATION OF AMERICA-
OUR MOST CHERISHED BIRTH RIGHT _
THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA-
Well said, Steve!
92-6 Senate passes Covid Stim Package , Billions to foreign countries , and what does Congress say to the American Citizens , Sorry we F$cked you again , here take this $600 and be Thankful We Looked Down Upon You
No wonder Trump will veto this. Tax and spend is the new motto of the most unpopular Congress ever to sit their butts in Washington. Stop this nonsense now. Break up the Bill into easy pieces to vote on with common sense, not just our money. I am so fed up with these bureaucrats!
Yep. The DEMOCRATS are really for Americans. This is just the beginning of we we can expect for the next four years. This is what the “voters” wanted and this is what they DESERVE. To top it all off, the debt now stands at $27 trillion. The debt ratio to GDP has got to be approaching 70% or more. You think CHINA is our ENEMY look to the DEMOCRATIC PARTY as a close second. No wonder TRUMP wanted to clean out the SWAMP. Here is more proof. No one mentions what was in the FIRST stimulus package. MILLIONS to planned parenthood hood, the Kennedy Center etc. NO ONE raised an eye brow. JUST THINK IF THEY INCLUDED STUDENT LOAN FORGIVENESS AND REBUILDING THE CITIES OF PORTLAND, SEATTLE AND MINNEAPOLIS. Americans would see a check fo a lot less.
Horrible!! No money for other countries!!!!! Money should only go to US citizens and US businesses. Also need to create jobs, and fund more unemployment. I heard that there was a lot of money going to cultural organizations such as museums. I feel they should apply for relief as businesses do and not have funds allocated to them in the bill.
ALL MEMBERS OF CONGRESS WHO VOTED FOR THAT TOTALLY OUTRAGEOUS BILL ARE NOTHING BUT BRAINLESS MORONS. I FURTHER BELIEVE THEY ARE ALL CONSPIRING TO CHEAT THE AMERICAN TAXPAYER. GUESS WHO PAYS THEIR SALARY-THE SAME TAXPAYER. WHY CAN THEY BE SO STUPID THAT THEY FOOLISHLY SPEND BILLIONS OF THE VERY DOLLARS THAT WILL PUSH OUR GOVERNMENT A BIT CLOSER TO BANKRUPTCY.
I am disappointed with the outcome. It looks like other nations are more important to our senators than American people. I will remember next time I vote . President is right , give our straggling people $2000.00. Charity is good, but the charity in any form starts at home. you people have been elected by us, the citizens of this country and not any other country, your responsibility is to us to those who elected you. It is time that you need to put priority of this country first. If you are so determined to give to other countries who at any time can stab us in the back then give it from your personal purse, you can afford it. We Americans have to put America First. The President is absolutely right, He did put America first and that is the reason the liberals hate him so much. Charity starts at home first and foremost.
There must be huge financial kickbacks coming to “our” own Congress members in return for such a worldwide charitable action. DRAIN THE SWAMP AGAIN!
This so-called Coranvirus Relief Bill has been presented to Congress in the usual Pelosi Pig In The Poke style of vote for it so you can see it! Presented at the last minute so none of the legislators had time to read and analyze the contents! Trump should veto the monstrosity until it meets the standards of decency and rationality to help Americans before pet projects of Socialist/Liberal/Demwits and some Rinos!
I wish that when “donations” are proposed — the person who suggested or sponsored it — should have his/her name be publicly and prominently shown.
As an aside, I would like to see — for every representative and senator — a complete list of “charitable” contributions as reflected on their filed income tax. It may show if they are as “generous” with their own money ad they are with ours.

I’m convinced that the Democrats get kick backs from some of these ridiculous appropriations. But their constituents don’t care as long as they get theirs.
What further proof you need huh. They want to curry to foreign nations, protect their borders but to h–l with our borders. And also millions for them and they got theirs so throw the bums 600 and “let them eat cake”! Why did you vote their way? You believe the Tass and Pravda that our news media have become? Whatta buncha saps!
NO!!! USA dollars to any foreign country until our unemployment is back to 3.5% or less. All Senators who approve of this cash flow should be taken out and shot for treason against the people of the USA my USA the one I spend time defending years ago ALL of you bastards in Washington work for we the people and most of you don’t deserve any money for you are too stupid to do good things for the Citizens of my USA.

Pathetic and down right Laughable. I would like a list one by one of the Senators or Congresspersons who put these moronic issues on the table. Can you imagine Americans going to work thinking today my tax dollars are going to pay for Pakistani “gender programs” …. or here’s the real joke “$505,925,000 for migration of unaccompanied, undocumented minors to the United States. Fucking Yipeeeeee … can’t wait to get to work.
Does anyone believe for a minute most of that will not line some bloated politicians fat assed pockets. Graduate’s of the “Hunter Biden” sell out America fan club.
80 Million votes for a career useless idiot that belongs in the “Droller” ….
Solution …. Term limits and an IQ above ___ plus common sense which is a huge problem.
Most voters are just plain stupid. Uneducated parasites.
Disgusting! This is just the beginning of the end for Americans. They steal the election and our money. No longer proud to be an American if this is how our government is run. The stimulus Bill was to help Americans not others in the world. Let China help other countries. They started this mess. A bonus for Congress! Really? You already make more than most Americans, have better health care, and barely work.
The bill should be vetoed. Then all the pork that has nothing to do with virus relief should be stripped out and perhaps the money used to increase the amount of the relief check rebates to US citizens.
I agree!
One way to piss off the Americans Pelosi and Shummer. What the hell happened to smart democrats. I am really for term limit and the sooner the better. Get off your a** and do something for the American people and businesses and forget trying to be big brother to other countries who won’t say thank you anyway.
Amen! See my email regarding this. Adel
so what’s new , they always put in more junk then what they are suppose to be funding , seems use still don’t get it , democrats hate america , they will let you starve while feeding other countries
Why are we sending money to foreign countries when they don’t support us in UN elections, and we have so many Americans in need here at home?
Why are “incidentals” allowed to be added to an otherwise appropriate bill–items unrelated to the intended purpose of the bill? AKPuccini, MA, CCC-SLP
Nasty Nancy and he criminal associates are expecting everyone to be desperate, blind, and stooped. give the taxpayers of this country a dog bone and, send ALL the rest over seas, so she and her gang can make millions in kick backs and we for the next three generations pay with big interest back the money, think about it…..
I,m 82 years old, served my country in the military and in Federal Law Enforcement to make this country a safe place for us to live and raise our kids. I was willing to give my life for this county if necessary, as some of my family members did in WW II I almost lost my life in a gun battle with drug traffickers on the banks of the Rio Grande in 1981. To see what’s happening to our country makes me very sad, and pisses me off a lot. We have a bunch of liars, thieves, and common criminals supposedly representing us in Washington DC, what a joke. Money, power and greed controls everything, every move every vote etc. these criminals make, its’ all about them. I don’t trust anyone in Washington DC, I think they’re a bunch of ass holes protecting one another. I feel that we have no recourse other than going to DC and physically kick their asses out of office. I have no trust or faith in our corrupt government anymore.
Bills all need to go back to line item veto so tax payer money goes to Real Americans!
Our countty is way overdue for TERM LIMITS, shut the goof balls off and boot them out, anyone can spend someone elses money , takes brains to economise , and they are a little short there !!
