$85.5 billion dollars in aid to Cambodia!?

Why do Democrats suggest this stuff?
**************************
We're experiencing the biggest economic setback of our lives, but we need trillions of dollars to aid other nations? And we're giving our people $600?

Democrats: I know you guys aren't ALWAYS wrong, but what's the deal? Is now an excellent time to spend trillions on other countries?

You might want to rethink who you're electing in your districts!

Read "Atlas Shrugged" (or better, read the synopsis).

The Lefties (who have co-opted the Democrat party) cannot produce anything. So they trade favors and take
from the people who do produce.

In this case, they are taking the money of U.S. citizens and trading them to Cambodian officials for favors
(today, or tomorrow, it doesn't matter) and potentially a kickback to their family members or "foundations".

After all, how are people like Pelosi, Biden, etc. going to maintain thair lavish lifestyles on a government
salary?

Wow! I never thought of that being the reason, but it makes sense.

I'll have to admit that I know very little about Cambodia, other than it's small in acreage, and their population is about 16 million people.

If we divide $85.5 billion by 16 million people, that comes out to be about $5312.50 per resident, and that would include all residents of the entire country.

Would that be ok with you, if we give $5312.50 to each Cambodian citizen, and $600 to each American citizen? lol

Now I'm determined to find out which pieces of trash from the house
have "foundations" in Cambodia! Notice how this was sort of a "biparisan" bill? I am coming to realize that Republicans are not the solution to this
kind of problem; house Republicans are just enablers of corruption. (Except for the few cool ones who voted against this robbery.)

This is part of the reason why I admire & respect Trump so much.

Notice how our Democrat buddies don't seem to want to touch this subject?

We are making somebody (or some bodies) extremely wealthy with this so-called "stimulus." And those somebodies are using the coronavirus viciously to bolster their futures and their personal wealth.

Dumb Americans will just say "Cool, another $600 thanks to good ol'
Nancy Pelosi & Chuck." $600 bucks - that'll keep em votin' democrat.

The swamp includes both Democrats and Republicans.

IHMO: Most of the Republicans and a few of the Democrats just voted for it because
1) "COVID relief" sounded good and would give them points with their constituents.
but
2) The bill was so huge that they could never read the bill before they need to vote on it.

But voting on a bill that you're unable to review is negligance and those people who didn't abstain should be
removed from office.

Oh, ya. They don't like facts that go against their narrative.

I suspect there's more to it than popularity points with the constituents; somebody is getting richer off it, and it's not the American people.

I can't find info anywhere about who drafted the bill, and that seems like
sort of a big secret.

Yea, those who kinda "thought of everything" didn't think of the time it takes for the document to be analyzed thoroughly - or maybe they did and that was part of the plan, to get approval in a rush.

That seems to be the norm. The losers are appearant, but the winners seem
to be hidden.

Pet conspiracy theory: The people who drafted the bill aren't in the gov't.

I can't think of any other reason to draft a bill so large that it's impossible to read and analyze before it must be voted on.


... What if there were no hypothetical questions?

Yea it makes me wonder if the Chinese had drafted that bill for us prior to releasing the coronavirus on us.

Somebody ought to ask their US rep exactly who drafted this bill. I bet that would fetch a very generic response from the rep:

"Thanks for writing to me. All bills are drafted carefully. Thanks for your support and happy holidays!" lol

If the house race in my district ever gets called, and if the winner is my Republican candidate, then I'll ask her (Claudia Tenney) about it.

I live in the only US house district in the USA that hasn't been called yet. Incumbent US Rep Anthony Brindisi(D) isn't worth writing to. He's an expert at the generic stuff.

IIRC, they did that with Obamacare, too.
