It is hard for me to approve something that my Great, Great, Great, Great Grand Children will still be paying for.

300+ billion to bail out mismanaged union pension plans and matching funds for politicians I probably don't support paid for with my tax money makes me livid. These are just two of many examples of waste in this travesty of legislation

Too expensive, not that the $1,400 isn't nice, but for what he spent on other countries and cities that don't deserve it cuz they let other people destroy, this is costing us taxpayers way too much money, plus there's a lot of people I know that still working. Democrats are screwed up our country

It is full of garbage spending that could not get approved on it's own. Non pandemic spending is rife in this bill that does nothing but devalue our currency.

No ,why should we pay for something that has nothing to do with the Covid relief !! They can always get another bill in the next 5 years . I believe people need to be able to vote where their money is going .Congress is spending so much money that we will belong to China soon .

Because we’re too dependent on the government as a society. Jobs are everywhere and people are getting paid more to sit at home. A lot of Americans feel they are “above” most general labor jobs and out government supports them in turning it over because they have 100k illegal aliens per week now

Trump and his goons in every state in every department are running it into the ground acting like it's the best thing ever and it's not. People are suffering now more then his first term or even during Biden term

> "Trump and his goons" Goons? It's 2025. Trump is a lot of things, but comparing he and his team continued success to a childish name, you need better sources of your insults. For example, stop using The Rolling Stone as a primary news source.

Then, you prefer the 9% inflation for 4 straight years, instead of 2.9%. Where did you get your economics degree?

That was during a period of worldwide inflation ... and we were actually doing better than most other advanced countries. Inflation is higher now than when Biden left office.

Compare November 2025 to November 2026 ... roughly same and 2026 figure was held down by the government shutdown. Let's check back at this time next year and you try to explain away the recession.

Inflation is less than 1/3rd of when Biden was in office. Fix your calculator.

Biden tactics were destroying the world's economies.

The U.S. dollar dominates the world economy due to its role as the primary reserve currency, backed by the massive U.S. economy, unmatched financial market liquidity, and historical inertia since the 1944 Bretton Woods system. It facilitates 88% of global exchange transactions, 54% of trade

Incidentally, our previous president has not acquired enough money to build his presidential library, not even enough money for a presidential magazine stand.

I have no desire to watch him spew lies and pat himself on the back. He's a sorry excuse of a human being.

Thee truth is hard for some to swallow. Maybe you could find a Biden or Obama clip to watch?

I didn't but have total support for the vast majority of what he has accomplished and is trying to accomplish. The country was harmed greatly by the Democrats, they plundered our wealth, Republicans also played a hand. No more.

Do a little research on how our national debt has grown under republican presidents compared to democrats. Also see how Reagan and "trickle down economics" is what put us on the path to financial ruin while creating the tremendous wealth inequality we see today.

Going back nearly fifty years, when I was in the military, and Carter was the president, the military was starving. As an E-6 with a wife and two children, legally, I qualified for food stamps. Instead, I got a part-time job. Carter, was a far better president than Obama, and Biden. Facts are tough.

You got tired of that with 8 years of Obama and 4 years of Biden. That's over, now.
