Congress is expected to vote on a Covid-19 relief package, and GOP Sen. Josh Hawley smells a lot of the usual pork:
The negotiators are saying they could only find enough $$ for $600/ person relief checks for working people. But mark my words, there will be hundreds of BILLIONS spent on special interests, banks, and government

According to the Wall Street Journal, some people in the country won’t be receiving as much from this round of stimulus as certain others:
Family members of unauthorized immigrants are now eligible to get stimulus checks under the $900 billion deal reached last night. That eligibility is retroactive, so adults excluded last time could get up to $1800 now https://t.co/UEyVqvPd4f

And we wouldn’t expect that to be the last “WTF” moment to be discovered in the latest relief bill.

Every Democrat you see crying about how useless $600 is, send them this. Maybe they know some illegals who could give them a personal loan. https://t.co/MrJDzaTwdZ

No retroactive unemployment for the millions out of work, but illegal aliens will not only get a $600 check – they can get the $1200 check, too. Remember that Republicans approved this (along with a “Latinx museum).

By the time all is known that will be far from the most maddening detail from the latest stimulus deal.
