Opus 2020-322: Headlines: Trump Signs, Swamp Giggles

As you have no doubt heard, Trump signed the colossal pork bill that was running under the cover of Covid Relief.  He had been taking the proper stand of refusing to sign it because of the billions of dollars ladled out to foreign countries for things like gender studies and millions to American institutions like the Kennedy Center.  The amount for Americans came out to $600 per person at best count.  

Check my math here.  If you take the $2.3 Trillion (with a T) and divide by the American population of 3.2 million you get an interesting number:  $7,187.50.  That is the amount each American would have received if this was divided up among the population.  Keep in mind that a family of four would have receive $28, 750.  The first time I did it I made the mistake of using billions instead of trillions and came up with $7.19.  What a difference a comma makes.

As many memes ask:  Are you mad yet?

Keep in mind that this was backed by both Republicans and Democrats.  This is the result of being bipartisan.  Notice that the president signed it instead of forcing them to override a veto.  I am disgusted with the two parties and disappointed with President Trump.  As good a job as he has done, I still don’t think he understands the swamp.

I can only hope that the United States declares bankruptcy while the checks are still in the mail.

You can never say it too soon or too loud:  Vote the suckers out.  At this point that refers to all of them.
