What’s in Democrats’ coronavirus bill? Arts funding, union help and more
-
wait, Bob - I don't see any list pork crammed into the bill by republicans. What is this about rep pork???
not one article on that can I find.
But the lists of dem pork is all over the place EVEN cnn/msnbc.
I can't find any reference to republican pork.
only dem pork.

Looks "porky" to politico, which seems legit. They reference the concern about "transparency"

Now, BOB. The help to companies to keep them from going completely under because of the virus crisis,
IS......NOT......PORK. Again, let's define "pork"
Pork barrel is a metaphor for the appropriation of government spending for localized projects secured solely or primarily to bring money to a representative's district. The usage originated in American English. Scholars use it as a technical term regarding legislative control of local appropriations.
Now, in this instance, what the dems are doing isn't all that local, but totally irrelevant money added in, that has NOTHING to do with the virus crisis.
Money to help companies helps the companies stay afloat so the unions don't lose their jobs. Money to help unions doesn't help the companies stay afloat.
"transparency" is right there - it's IN THE BILL. IT IS NOT UNRELATED TO THE INTENTION OF THE BILL.
The "helping companies" is part of the "saving the economy".
You equate THAT with abortion funding and all the asinine totally non-related pork the dems put into the bill?
Can't buy it. It's more like "the dems look bad, but I support the unions so don't vote for the reps, either".
Sorry, makes no sense. the moral equivalency is totally false.

Things are getting pretty deep, wow.
I think you can have the debate about at what cost do you fight this virus versus the economic costs. The human costs could be worse if by fighting the virus we end up in a Great Depression.
I live in a small rural County. Already seeing big lay offs. They should be temporary but you have to be concerned.

Got to get rid of the threat before we go back to normal. Its stupid as hell to think the virus will stop because our economy needs it too.
Excepting the last three months, and be honest now, what have you historically heard more horror stories about? The great depression or the Spanish flu?
