What's All In Covid-19 Stimulus Bill?

Not even those who voted for it in the House and Senate know. They were given little time to read over a 5,000+ page bill. The largest legislative bill ever passed in congress.

This is why Congress needs time to actually read this package before voting on it.

Members of Congress have not read this bill. It’s over 5000 pages, arrived at 2pm today, and we are told to expect a vote on it in 2 hours.

This isn’t governance. It’s hostage-taking. https://t.co/JpBbEHHkVG

TPM: Among the other parts of the omnibus bill of interest to Hollywood is an extension of Section 181, a tax provision that allows for immediate deduction of television and film production costs up to $15 million. That incentive was scheduled to expire at the end of the year, but would now get an additional five years.

In the coming months I predict there will be an untold number of surprises that await us all. Congress could have chopped this up into smaller pieces over the past ten months. But then what fun would that be?

I wonder what this would look like if they printed the entire thing out. Then set it on Trump's desk to sign on TV.

I'm not going to bother trying to find the PDF of it online out of fear it would probably overload my computer's memory (not to mention mine).

Republicans repeatedly refused to say what amount the President wanted for direct checks. At last, the President has agreed to $2,000 — Democrats are ready to bring this to the Floor this week by unanimous consent. Let’s do it! https://t.co/Th4sztrpLV

We spent months trying to secure $2000 checks but Republicans blocked it

Trump needs to sign the bill to help people and keep the government open and we're glad to pass more aid Americans need

Maybe Trump can finally make himself useful and get Republicans not to block it again

Let’s do it. @RashidaTlaib and I already co-wrote the COVID amendment for $2,000 checks, so it’s ready to go.

Glad to see the President is willing to support our legislation.

We can pass $2k checks this week if the Senate GOP agrees to stand down. https://t.co/GprwrUPali pic.twitter.com/nFFs1ExqCK
