This should put you there.
Just keep printing that money. Obviously, someone has a hidden money tree somewhere, right? Ha! They will tax us to death.
Americans are getting only 7% of the stimulus package. What can you do with that little $600 check??? Exactly how is this $600 going to help people??? And remember you have to pay tax on that most likely, as you do on the unemployment checks). It won’t pay rent... it might pay for some food for a month or so depending on size of the family...

It’s nothing compared to all the shit they are giving to other countries/organizations. MOST of this unneeded pork & should never have been included at all...

1. $300,000,000 for Migrant and Refugee Assistance pg.. 147
2. $10,000 per person for student loan bailout
3. $100,000,000 to NASA, because, who knows why.
4. $20,000,000,000 to the USPS, because why not
5. $300,000,000 to the Endowment for the Arts - because of it
6. $300,000,000 for the Endowment for the Humanities/ because no one even knew that was a thing
7. $15,000,000 for Veterans Employment Training / for when the GI Bill isn't enough
8. $435,000,000 for mental health support
9. $30,000,000,000 for Department of Education stabilization fund/ because that will keep people employed (all those zeros can be confusing, that’s $30 BILLION)
10. $200,000,000 to Safe Schools Emergency Response to Violence Program
11. $300,000,000 to Public Broadcasting
12. $500,000,000 to Museums and Libraries. Who knows how we are going to use it.
13. $720,000,000 to Social Security Admin / but get this only $200,000,000 is to help people. The rest is for admin. costs.
14. $25,000,000 for Cleaning supplies for the Capitol Building. I kid you not, it's on page 136.
15. $7,500,000 to the Smithsonian for additional salaries
16. $35,000,000 to JFK Center for Performing Arts
17. $25,000,000 for additional salary for House of Representatives

24. $9,000,000 misc. Senate expenses pg. 134
25. $100,000,000 to Essential Air carriers pg. 162. This of note because the airlines are going to need billions in loans to keep them afloat ($100,000,000 is chump change.)
26. $40,000,000,000 goes to Take Responsibility to Workers and Families Act pg. 164
