House Passes $2 Trillion Emergency Relief Bill by Voice Vote After Hostile Debate

The CARES Act, the $2 trillion coronavirus emergency relief bill that serves as Phase Three of Congress's coronavirus relief efforts, has passed the House of Representatives. It is the largest stimulus package in U.S. history and aims to provide funding for hospitals, and targeted relief for small businesses. The successful vote comes after hours of cantankerous debate, in which one unhinged Democratic representative was ruled " out of order " on the House floor.

Once the measure finally passed, the entire House erupted - in a positive way.

WOW and just like that, the motion is adopted.

Entire House on its feet.

Have not seen unity like this on a major,tough bill in a long long time.


The monumental vote was emphasized by the following photo. It's not often we see scenes like this.

I’m not entirely happy about the final result, but considering that this shit has wiped me out financially and stolen what was left of my savings, it’s better than a poke in the eye.

Of course, each one of them can feel the kickbacks and personal wealth enrichment from all the sublet clauses, special considerations, and sweet-heart deals buried in the Bill’s language.

FYI...

Let it just be noted that @RepThomasMassie is the guy who got the $4 billion Mandatory National Vote By Mail for November's election out of the Stimulus bill.

The onlybquestion is what asset(s) will become inflated?

Everything, a la Carter?

Housing, a la Bush Clinton Bush?

Stocks, a la 0bama?

What?

Value free money has to chase something.
