Republicans Put On Tea Party Hats Again: Reject $2000.00 StimulusPosted By Rod Kaufman |
Here's what the porky pigs from the GOP put in there:Originally Posted by Greg ShafferOf course they did.....because of all the waste and pork in the rest of it.
From the Senate GOP bill released last week:
--$1.75 billion to build a new Federal Bureau of Investigation headquarters in downtown Washington
The Trump administration abruptly canceled plans in 2017 to build a suburban FBI campus. Instead, it pushed to keep the agency’s current downtown location, saying officials wanted it to remain across the street from the main Justice Department building, and the White House is pushing for funds to construct a new building. Keeping the FBI downtown would prevent the redevelopment of the site, which is near the Trump International Hotel. Both Democrats and Republicans have widely criticized the inclusion of the funds in the bill. “You have to be near the Justice Department,” Mr. Trump said last week. “They had sites way out in Virginia, way out in Maryland, I said the best place is right where it is…. So we have that in the bill. It should stay.”
--$377 million for renovations to the West Wing of the White House and a screening facility
This is another proposal from the White House. Press secretary Kayleigh McEnany said Friday that much of that funding would “pertain to safety protocols,” including filtration systems, enhanced communication ability and other “needs highlighted by the pandemic.”
"-Assorted spending on defense systems and weapons"
"the bill replenishes Defense Department funds that were redirected in previous years by the administration to help build the wall along the border with Mexico. "
