'So true it hurts': Senate passes $2 trillion 'CARES Act' in party line vote, Babylon Bee sums it up perfectly

The U.S. Senate has passed what they call the CARES Act, and it comes with a nearly $2 trillion price tag:

A) The Senate has approved the sixth major coronavirus relief package.

The vote was 50-49

It was a party line vote.

Sen. Dan Sullivan (R-AK) was absent due to the death of his father-in-law.

If you add up the relief to Americans who have been affected by the Covid-19 shutdowns, you won’t get anywhere near $1.9 trillion, which is where the Babylon Bee comes in with this headline:

The satirical Babylon Bee is a more reliable source of factual information than most mainstream media outlets.

Best tweet of the year, so far! ?

The bill will now go back to the House for reconciliation, where no doubt some Reps will try to stir a little more pork into the mix.
