WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump on Friday signed the $2 trillion coronavirus economic stimulus bill, putting in motion desperately needed financial relief for millions of Americans set back by the pandemic. Trump signed the bill just hours after the House passed it in a bipartisan vote.

"I want to thank Democrats and Republicans for coming together and putting America first," Trump said. "We got hit by the invisible enemy and we got hit hard," he added. "I think we are going to have a tremendous rebound." The legislation, which passed unanimously in the Senate on Wednesday, will provide billions of dollars in relief for struggling industries, a significant boost to unemployment insurance and direct cash payments to Americans, many of whom have been financially devastated by the outbreak. Before signing the bill, Trump marveled at the size of it. "I never signed anything with a 'T' on it," he said. The more than $2 trillion bill is the largest economic relief package in modern U.S. history. He also teased an upcoming announcement about deals for companies to make more ventilators, personal personal protective equipment and masks, which have all been in short supply. At the White House signing ceremony, Trump was flanked by Vice President Mike Pence, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., as well as several members of his Cabinet. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., who helped negotiate the bill, was not invited to the signing ceremony, her spokesperson, Drew Hammill, told NBC News. Earlier, ahead of the vote, Pelosi told reporters:"No bill is perfect, but we want to make sure that it at least comes part of the way to being sufficient. We do know that we must do more."

"We got hit by the invisible enemy and we got hit hard,"

He urgently needs to stop the BS, because everybody's going by what he bleats. It's disgustingly unmanly and jew-cucked!

Who gets the $2 trillion? It is not the people receiving stimulus checks. There are 331 million citizens. Most adults will receive $1,200 and $500 for each child. Deducting the high income people that averages out to approximately $935 per person or a total of $309 billion. That is 15% of the $2 trillion and it is the people that will have to pay. Therefore, in effect, on average it will cost the people $6 for every dollar they receive.

An old saying was in circulation around when I first discovered reality. A prospector is out in the woods and runs out of food. He chops his dog's tail off, cooks and eats it, and gives the dog the bone.

Guess who's the govt in this scene and who's us, the sheeple.

Everything they do is some kind of scam -- everything.

That reminds me of what Harry Browne said, “The government is good at one thing. It knows how to break your legs, and then hand you a crutch and say, 'See if it weren't for the government, you wouldn't be able to walk.”
