House passes 2.2T relief package #2

Post: # 1185Post FreedomRings »

House Democrats on Thursday approved a massive, $2.2 trillion package of coronavirus relief, lending political cover to party centrists in tough races while putting fresh pressure on Senate Republicans to move another round of emergency aid before the coming elections.
...
The bill was approved by a tally of 214 to 207, but to secure passage, Pelosi and her leadership team had to stave off a late revolt from a surprisingly large number of centrists who were furious that Pelosi had staged a vote on a bill with no chance of becoming law.
...
 Every Republican voted no, saying the spending levels were too high and the funding targeted certain programs unrelated to the coronavirus crisis.The legislation has no chance of becoming law for the time being.

  If it's anything like the last one.. the money went to a large portion of people that shouldn't have got it and the program was riddled with fraud.  Oh, never-mind, it's just like every other government program.

Will it get past the Senate?  There's a blurb out there that says the Senate is taking October off...??  I thought they just got back!

Might be they are cautious about coming together with COVID!
