The omnibus/coronavirus stimulus bill is expected to be voted on later today, and it’s several thousand pages long:

There’s so much to the bill that it can’t even be carried around Congress:

The stimulus bill is so large that it cannot actually be physically carried

The bill includes help for small businesses and $600 checks for each taxpayer, but obviously that isn’t all:
I'm pretty sure the "$600 to every American" provision took up no more than a single page.

I'm guessing there are a few more things in there than "stimulus checks". https://t.co/41gl6pOodO

Um, yeah, just a few.
That’s a really big bill to only say 600$ peasants! https://t.co/Fz1vUKoKW9

Why does it take such a big bill to say, "We've giving Americans a measly $600 of their own money?"https://t.co/WBVsvseJay

"Everybody gets $600" could fit on a post-it, it's mind boggling how much corrupt bloat is in government https://t.co/DOD3uRPYAv

This is not what our founding father’s had in mind. Shame on @SpeakerPelosi and @senatemajldr #StimulusCheck https://t.co/BLiWBVNqwJ

Takes a hand cart to roll that much pork around.

Pork is heavy…?
— ??❤Kate Schneider??❤ (@Kate_Anon) December 21, 2020
I smell lots of pork.

Look at all the pork on that cart… ??♀️?

Pork chops, bacon, spare ribs, ham, it’s all there

Here are just a few examples we’ve run across so far:
The Kennedy Center is getting another $14 million in this stimulus bill… that means they've gotten $40.4 total so far…
Enjoy your $600, peasants.

This stimulus bill is 5593 pages long, I would wager my life’s savings that not a single member of Congress can tell you exactly what’s in it.

That would not be surprising.
