How many Republicans voted for the stimulus bill? None.
Now it’s widely known that the multi-billion dollar stimulus bill contains verbiage to allow executives to keep their bonuses, it’s time for the Democrats to be accountable.
The bill is 1,000 pages or so, and granted, some honest Democrats admitted they didn’t read over the whole thing. But then there are lawmakers like Dina Titus (D-NV) who was either too embarrassed to admit to that, or she did in fact read every page and allowed the executive bonus provision to pass.
Either way, the Democrats and the Democrats only are on the hook for this. And now they want to pass a bill to tax these bonus recipients at 90%. Clearly, they admit to their incompetency by even drafting the CYA bill.
This is how our legislative branch works now? Take no time to review and debate a bill, pass it in a hurry, and if lawmakers don’t like something in it just write up another bill to make things OK?
What a sorry state our Congress has become, especially those in power.
