Insanity Wrap #112: Pork Apocalypse COVID Relief Package UPDATE: Trump veto?

 


More bad news via Vodkapundit (Stephen Green) at PJMedia's Insanity Wrap #112:  Pork Apocalypse COVID Relief Package

Insanity Wrap needs to know: What is 900 billion American dollars divided by 330 million Americans?

Answer: $2,727. But you’re still only getting $600, rube.

. . .

The COVID relief package is certainly a relief for Congresscritters who might have previously felt their spending had been constrained by some small sense of morality.

PJ Media’s own Victoria Taft and Bryan Preston have already done the admirable — if unpleasant — work of detailing just how much pork is stuffed into the COVID relief bill.

It’s approximately three-quarters pork to one-quarter relief.

If you have the stomach for it, the referenced PJ Media report at the link here provides a few of the specific provisions.

And Sundance has more here, including a link to the actual bill. 

UPDATE:  Trump vetoes the bill.  Click here.

UPDATE #2:   Matt Vespa at Townhall reports that President Trump is threatening to not sign the bill and rejects the pork;  Mr. Vespa did not report the President Trump vetoed the bill.
