Because robbing the poor to enrich the rich is the outrage to distract from that buried traitorous non-budgetary power grab.

The way they are doing this is to have a $2K bonus the first year as a stimulus check when you do your taxes, then come the midterms, then they cut off the benefits and I believe the taxes roll out after presidential elections? I think they did it that way to make the Democrats appear like they are full of it.

@meidastouch can you go in depth on the timelines with the stupid bill they are trying to pass so people have a better understanding?

I think the news media believes (often, accurately) that explaining that portion of the bill would consume too much effort on the part of a writer and would turn off the Sesame Street attention spans of casual readers of the news. One need only look at how the mascara momma of Homeland Security doesn't even understand the legal principle and purpose of habeas corpus to understand that. What a colossal embarrassment!

I’m very very concerned about other aspects of this bill that expands executive power. This has to stop.
