Let Them Have $600

Given the United States has such an enormous amount of money just sitting around in the Treasury, there's no harm in "making it rain" on the American people. (Please go ahead and ignore the following chart.)

Members of Congress had about nine hours to review the 5,593-page bill that allocated $2.3 billion spending bill. But that's fine. It's only 10.4 pages per minute? What have you never heard of speed reading?

The bill contains all sorts or provisions. Some good (money for small businesses that were hurt by the lockdowns), some bad (corporate welfare, pet projects) and some absurd. The most absurd being the foreign aid. I will remind you, this is a stimulus bill for Americans.

• $500 million to Israel
• $1.3 billion to the Egyptian Military
• $453 million to Ukraine (presumably so they can fight Russia"over there" instead of us having to fight them here)
• $700 million to the Sudan

Overall the bill has $4.7 billion in foreign aid which is all a joke. But some of it is even more of a joke. Most notably the $10 million in foreign aid to Pakistan for "gender programs."

But don't worry folks, Americans get $600 (in highly depreciated dollars that have just been printed). That will go a long way I'm sure...
