TREASON: $2.3 Trillion Spending Bill Gives $600 to the American People While Giving Billions to Foreign Aid and Pork
(Chaz Anon) All over social media you will see angry American’s posting memes about the Congressional $2.3 trillion COVID relief bill that gives billions of taxpayer dollars to foreign countries and pork barrel projects.
The controversial 5,593 page budget-busting bill was posted online on Monday afternoon, just a few hours before Nancy Pelosi announced that a vote would be held.
The joke of countless memes was the measly $600 in COVID relief for Americans, while throwing billions of dollars to foreign nations who lobbied to Congress, likely with future kickbacks ready to be paid out.
