Episode description

Congress really ran a pretty horrible game on the American people with this latest stimulus package.  Included in the package are millions of dollars in funding for gender studies in Pakistan, $500 million dollars for Israel and a long list of pork projects that have nothing to do with the pandemic.  Oddly, Congress chose to tie the defense spending bill to the Covid relief package, meaning that if you don't support one, you can't support the other. 

Lastly, I was shocked to find out that legislators only received access to this 5,000 page legislation with only TWO HOURS to read it!  What kind of game are they playing here?  This is both sick and ridiculous and they are playing with American lives in the process.
