Congress Reaches Deal On $900 Billion Covid-19 Relief Package | Morning Joe | MSNBC
All that debate, all that time wasted, just for $600.
This government truly does not care about its citizens
@J Batson why dont you just move to Russia??
Nope! I will Never Look at American the Same. All the thing they Claim other “3rd world countries” do They did it in 2020!! Sad
remember that Repubs did the stalling.
and your does !!!!!!!! traitor !!!!!!! https://banned.video/watch?id=5fd11d8436e1a46b3ed9af3e&t=3
@William H Music 2020 <--- Still an idiot.
They will expect the people to be happy with the few crumbs they let fall to the floor.
Exactly right
Liberal Democrats are so dumb it’s embarrassing 😳
tinyurl.com/yxkf7ddk ⛄
I do NOT advocate it but as these checks roll people will gather at the homes of some of these politicians. This is going to get ugly.
i’m totally with you. Defund the GOVERNMENT and stop PAYING TAXES because WE’RE are not getting REPRESENTATION. Peace
Why would the people who get rich off of our taxes want to give back are money when we need it
‘We’ voted for them… repeatedly 🤔😞
@Robby H And at the same time allowing the “leaders” to take money out of our pockets in the present to line their own with more now.
@Kommon Cents nobody voted. C’mon. Nobody believes in politics just like nobody believes and watches wrestling and hasn’t in a century. Right?
Hundreds of years ago they’d shoot each other. Now they play softball together every week and use the same financial advisors to invest in companies they are deciding gets taxpayers government grants in the billions. C’mon. Nobody believes any of the drama soap opera
So they can gain control over you life and actions. We all to be “beggars of the state” you see. Socialism.
Use, abuse, and loose, CAPITALIZATION. They’re in it for THEMSELVES. RECOGNIZE the GAME. Peace
Now they get to claim victory… Don’t let them
Victory for what?…the Dems had a 1.5 trillion dollar deal done..they didnt pass it..they except 900B!…idiots!
oh yes

oh wow
Voters in Georgia would do well to remember that the Republicans didn’t act until they feared the loss of their Senate majority.
@MaineGreen Grower420 MoscowMitch wasn’t on board with that.
The fleecing of the American lower class.
Think about it, 900 billion in taxes, from a population of 333 million. Subtract children and retired. Do the math, it’s only division. Who’s getting that money. Oh that’s right, big pharma, big businesses and the banks. That’s some serious theft
@medical cannabis shop That has been the only way I can through get all of this mess. Medicinal of course 😏
@joe k how much do they need of our money
@medical cannabis shop agree 100% enjoy
@joe k 100%
“After eight long months…”
👆 What a failure! 😡
@Keith Freitas liar, Pelosi passed two bills months ago and Mitch refused to bring either one up for debate and negotiation. Then Mitch wanted to take away your right to sue an employer for wrongful harm or death in relation to covid 19, get your facts straight.
@Robby H So Trump’s 2 trillion dollar tax give-away is fine, his record high deficits of 1.2 trillion a year are fine, his covid response bill for 5 trillion dollars is fine, and his second bill that was going to be 3 trillion dollars(prior to the election) was all fine, but a cut down, bi-partisan bill for only 900 billion; that’s too much?! Get a clue, honestly!
Anyone who received a check for the 1200 dollar first round should consider themselves lucky, my wife and I are still waiting on ours, it’s been 9 months, dozens of website visits, phone calls, and letters and STILL NO CHECK!!
@Kansas city Bob Oh dude! 😔 Best to you and yours – keep at it, my friend. 👍
@El Ram thank you sir, best to you and yours also, I hope you and your loved ones are doing well🤜🤛
I hope they are not expecting a “Thank You”. Too little too late. Other countries get a monthly check up to $2000 a month.
That’ll run out
@Al G That’s an interesting idea. I’ve thought that at times.
@Rui G woe to the rich you have , had your compensation
@Rui G whatever you do to the least
Matthew 25:35-45
That’s because other COUNTRIES CARE about THEIR PEOPLE. AMERICA JUST USES IT’S PEOPLE. Peace
$600? The pitchforks are coming.
Nah. The only folks who would actually do the fighting are Republicans and we live in the most lenient lockdown restricted areas in the US. My life hasn’t even really been affected by this other than wearing a mask out in public. Lefties are too scared to fight back and just do what they’re told by the government.
Dont forget the torches too…
Should of been brought them out…it seems americans are scared to the point of no return
I’d respect you all more if you literally started marching to DC with pitch forks rather than complaining about it on YouTube.
oh yes

oh wow
Always bragging about how great this country is but yet this great county doesn’t help their citizens when they need it.
What a joke!
@Night NDay 👍
@Night NDay
Imagine if Trump and his super spreaders of covid19 did listen to health professionals and at least tried to slow down the margin we wouldn’t be waiting for a 900 billion check. It would’ve been a lot less.
Do you know who isn’t a super spreaders of covid19?
Democrats
MSNBC REALLY !!!!!!!!!!! https://banned.video/watch?id=5fd135d536e1a46b3edad8c8 Brandy Vaughan ( look her up )
💯
“America” as it vainly calls itself, has always been the greatest and the best. In reality it never has been.
This whole thing was bungled since the get go on purpose.
@Tim yes there are many uneducated maga supporters festering the comment section
@PlasmaBurns You’re too funny. Still hoping for a coup aren’t you? You should feel encouraged though since they are now exploring martial law to hold power. Bet that gives you a good feeling deep down doesn’t it? You also support adding his head to Rushmore and changing name from US of A to Trumpland? I’ll bet you do traitor.
@Tim i have tried in good faith to reach out to trump followers
Agreed but Repubs damaged DT in Nov. At least one good outcome of the stall.
@Tim Imagine confusing democracy with central banker oligarchyj. Power fled the political sphere decades ago. Has the quality of the political class degenerated since Kennedy was gunned down like a dog in Dallas? That’s because the politician has been replaced by the neoliberal “crisis manager.” Just like Houdini the “crisis managers” need increasingly more death defying stunts to keep audiences captivated.
Thanks for nothing!
-American citizens
Voters in Georgia would do well to remember that the Republicans didn’t act until they feared the loss of their Senate majority.
@E Theory they’re only acting now cause they know evictions will start soon and the democrats won’t let that happen. So now the republicans can force the poor to stay poor and the rich to keep getting money from the last stimulus.
“We the People, We the Forgotten”
Toh yes

oh wow
At the end, only the rich got richer. This was expected anyway.
Leonard cohen- everybody knows
Roh yes
https://youtu.be/zFJ2AN_CZH8
oh wow
@Alex Avila Not the lefties. They still think we’re in lockdown for the “greater good.”
$600…somebody get these fossils out of congress🤦♂️
@Steve Jakubowski you are right
@Micah8208 exactly!
You have no idea how it works, do you.
In Canada, people get $2,000 per month and now they are giving small businesses $20,000 and covering their utility and tax costs. That’s how a country properly looks after it’s people!
@Stephen McDonald Agreed. I’ve also read of other countries that have similar programs for their citizens as well.
This bill is disgusting wth is wrong with them I’m so sick of these people in Washington.
@Thejesuit Eraser any living person with a soul should see that but I guess not
@Don lee The whole two-party system is a scam you moron!!
@Bodhi Beard Kennedy center is a worthy cause much more so than the welfare mitch wants to hand out to billionaires,,cmon man!!!!
@mark kimbrell I disagree, Have you been to the Kennedy center? 99.8% of americans haven’t.. but they are having a hard time food on the table, making the mortgage and car notes.. wait until all that comes due… think 2008 was bad… just wait.. Even heard Pelosi brag about moving on the relief because they have a new president.. If that doesn’t set you hair on fire.. I dont know what will..
Toh yes
https://youtu.be/zFJ2AN_CZH8
oh wow
This bill is a drop in the bucket for the people ! This is not a stimulus
@Codes Soundz unemployment runs out for people on the 26th of this month so I don’t know what you’re trying to insinuate
@Codes Soundz you want a internet fight which you will not get with me sorry…moving on bye bye👶
@Codes Soundz I need $1,300 more to match my salary when I was employed full time. How about that. THAT’S WHAT I NEED AND I STILL PAY TAXES
@Johnny Doe LOL in what world can you afford a “proper education” with $600?
@Jonny Croxville idk but it would be better than whatever that guy has lol
We should charge congress late fees like they do us
Lmao
I agree on that
$600. so that’s half of what should have been issued in May.
Moscow Mitch….
$600 congress?? Are you rolling back the cost of living to 1920? The decade all of you were born??
Lol that might be it
True that..
How about they give us their salaries as part of the stimulus the time they have wasted can’t be paid back to us.
now on to their mansions for a hard earned vacation.
Foh yes
