ADDITIONAL STIMULUS PACKAGES - ADDING PET PROJECTS?

[El Paso Eagle]

It looks like congress is going to start work on another package. My question, not if it is or is not needed, but if it is full of money for non-virus related programs, should the President veto the bill?

I believe we need to help people and keep the economy from collapsing, but this is not the time for anyone to add crap to try and get their "pet projects" funded by trying to claim one party or the other doesn't care.

This is why I raised the question over the complete waste of Nadler asking for $4 Billion for non profit museums.

It's funny sad that Massie is being castigated for actually trying to force the reps to show up so their votes are recorded, instead of them hiding behind a voice vote.

Has very little to do with the type of industry, and everything to do with the lack of oversight in the bill. United is doing the same thing and I'm sure countless others will as well.

Speaking of  Schiff......

The airline industry is part of our transportation infrastructure.  Without it we’re sunk. 

Still, I’m interested in what it is your concern is.  Could you explain a little more what the problem is?.

I'm guessing.... if you take certain funds you should keep paying your people.

Yep. Doesn't matter what industry these companies are in. They're all going to take the free money and do the minimum to comply with the law (which doesn't seem like much). It's like we didn't just go through all of this 12 years ago. It's just a matter of time before we start seeing executives getting bonuses and companies finding loopholes in the restrictions.

Agree.  It’s not right.
