What Are People Saying About The $900B Stimulus Bill?

Now that Congress has agreed upon a $900 billion stimulus package, news outlets are giving very basic overviews that leave out quite a bit of the $900B. But despite the mainstream media, the specifics are getting out and it has been interesting to see the response.

I’ve compiled some of the most informative and entertaining of the Twitter conversations. Let’s start with some funny ones.

I’m not sure who needs to hear this, but $600 can buy a lot of tar and feathers. #StimulusIdeas

stop saying $600 dollars isn’t a lot of money, it can get you almost half the fancy ice cream in Pelosi’s fridge.

They think $600 will make up for bankrupting your company… 🤦🏻‍♂️ pic.twitter.com/g5RBHkpY36

You: Lost your job, your biz, your life… but Congress says after 7 months of ‘talks’ you are worth $600@SpeakerPelosi: Kept her job, kept her mansion, kept her paycheck YOU PAID HER over 7 months … $101,500#openamerica pic.twitter.com/bdxAfaGmyg

You know how Americans are too smart to get stuck with a 3-yr cable contract for a $250 Visa gift card bribe?

Yeah. Well, we know better than to take on $900 billion of new debt to throw money at “climate councils” and Pakistan, for a $600 “gift card” bribe too.

Just say no. https://t.co/pNqSDAqMF0

$600 doesn’t even pay for a years supply of masks.

Now, let’s look at some of the most interesting specifics that are in this stimulus bill.

$900,000,000,000 (size of coronavirus stimulus)

divided by

330,000,000 (🇺🇸 population)

equals

$2,700 per person. That’s $2,700 for everyone man, woman, and child.

Congress said we only get $600.

The stimulus gave $4 billion dollars to New York City’s Metropolitan Transportation Authority – while you got a whopping $600.

Good times.

The Stimulus Bill:

The gov’t closes the economy. You lose your job. You face eviction.

$600 for all your troubles.

Meanwhile they send:

$135 million to Burma
$85.5 million to Cambodia
$1.4 billion for “Asia Reassurance Initiative Act”
$130 million to Nepal

They hate you. pic.twitter.com/95U2Qt4uNa

— Techno Fog (@Techno_Fog) December 21, 2020

$600 × 328 million = $196.8 billion

This bill is for $900 billion.

Guess who’s getting that other $700+ billion.

Democrats send $600 in “stimulus” to you but they’re sending:

$130 million to Nepal
$135 million to Burma
$85.5 million to Cambodia
$700 million to Sudan
$1.4 BILLION to something called the “Asia Reassurance Initiative Act”

What an absolute disgrace.

— Charlie Kirk (@charliekirk11) December 21, 2020

Hold the fuck on.

We, American citizens, get $600 each and no retroactive UI because of the “deficit.”

But we did find millions to give to the Sudan and gender studies in Pakistan in the Stimulus.

Fuck each and every one of you politicians.

Now on to the ones that just make you shake your head.

$600. That’s it.

Minneapolis business owner Peter Killen lost $350,000 when BLM radicals rioted and burned down his warehouse full of equipment.

Now he only needs 582 more checks.

$600/month stimulus check is a license to steal for those who embrace looting as empowering.

— Dean Browning (@DeanBrowningPA) December 21, 2020

Great news! Congress has reached a deal granting a $600 stimulus check to Americans who’ve been out of work for almost an entire year! Combined with the 1st stimulus check, that’s $1800- which is more than enough money to offset a year’s income….The year is still 1682, right?

Members of Congress have each been paid 16 paydays of $7,125 base salaries for a total of $114,000 since sending you $1,200 to live on 240 days ago. You got 20 cents a day, they got $475 a day. And they took a recess (paid vacation). #coronavirus #StimulusCheck pic.twitter.com/7aWUpYbIBh

The stimulus is politicians destroying the economy with garbage policies while they flout the rules and party then offering to extract nearly 1 trillion dollars from working class people, give them back 600$ each and give the overwhelming majority to big businesses

Give them $600 for the whole year. https://t.co/U39vhqRv6t

And as a cherry on top, here’s Nancy Pelosi being a total hypocrite, as usual.

You can’t make this up…

Pelosi in 2018 called $1,000+ bonuses being handed out by businesses after tax cuts “crumbs” and “pathetic” but just called the $600 stimulus checks “significant.” pic.twitter.com/vVaizbk6O1

Good morning to everyone – reminder – Nancy Pelosi has more than $600 of ice cream in her freezer – but she wants you to live on that for 10 months.

80 year old Speaker Pelosi’s net worth is ≅ $140 million.

Plutocrat Pelosi who is worth $120 million because she has used our government for decades to enrich herself and her corporate donors just called the $600 checks “significant.” This is her #LetThemEatCake moment.

— Ryan Knight 🌹 (@ProudSocialist) December 21, 2020

It’s really kind of Nancy Pelosi to give us $600 of our own money back, to pay for half of rent, after forcing 9.8 MIllion people out of work for 8 months. We live in inspiring times.

— Kyle Kashuv (@KyleKashuv) December 21, 2020

Nancy Pelosi is 80 years old and worth $120 million. The last time she had to care about her income was probably 55 years ago when $600 was the equivalent to nearly $5000 today. Old out of touch sell out politicians are ruining the lives of the people theyre supposed to represent https://t.co/fkghbguuHn

It seems no one on earth is as tone deaf and out of touch with the American people as Nancy Pelosi.

She’ll be eating ice cream from one of her two freezers while millions are unemployed. https://t.co/nr02yfxU3W
