Trump threatens to veto Covid bill
Now he says he wants the checks to be $2k instead of $600

He has not signed the NDAA, either if he does not by Wednesday, it will become law. I would not be surprised to see the same approach here by loser coward wussy lameduck president.Steve Martinsen -

Re: Trump threatens to veto Covid bill
With this and his failure to get re-elected, I believe Trump is saying to the GOP, "If I go down, you're going down with me!"
He is now actively trying to destroy the GOP that didn't put him back in the WH.

Bill is already passed by both houses. There's no more amending possible. They'd have to start the whole process over from scratch as a new bill.

Amy Klobuchar just went on MSNBC to call raising the stimulus to $2,000 per person "an attack on every American" and suggests Congress override Trump's veto. pic.twitter.com/mEdDUY9dNu
Can any American explain why a $2000 dollar stimulas cheque for each American is an attack, but....

$208 million to upgrade the Census Bureau's computer systems (which couldn't have waited until the next count in 2030?).This is just a massive spending bill loaded with pork.

So many gems hidden in 5,000 pages of "Covid stimulas bill". This is both sides spending money they do not have, but giving YOU the debt to pay.

Re: Trump threatens to veto Covid bill
Joe Biden praised the process by which the bill was passed, saying “I applaud the bipartisan Congressional economic relief package” and called it “a model for the challenging work ahead.”Something tells me he didn’t read the bill either.Comment

Re: Trump threatens to veto Covid bill
What's the big deal? Pass the $600 bill now, add another $1,400 in a separate bill, kick the tires, take it out for a test drive.
Deficit hawks can go shove there heads firmly up the nether parts of their anatomy. They had no issue with a bloated budget and tax breaks for the corporations and wealthy.
I am also in favor of a law that limits provisos in any given law to the actual subject at hand and not stick non-related riders onto a given bill. The money to Nepal might very well be justified ( who knows, certainly not me ), but it and its ilk have no place in a domestic COVID relief bill.Gerard>
