I saw on the news this morning a list of some of the pork in the newest "relief" bill, among other things "undocumented immigrants" would be eligible for relief checks. Last time the democrats packed in $25,000,000 for the Kennedy Center and grants-not loans-of $75,000,000 each for two other unrelated programs. I wish they'd stick to the problem at hand and deal with the other crap later. One of my son's friends is a restaurant line cook, he's getting more money from unemployment than he was earning because of the extra $600 from the last program. I hope when this is done congress finds a way to pay down the debt and I have some suggestions: stop all foreign aid, we can't afford it; Temporary pay cuts for members of congress, Trump already gives his salary back; a TEMPORARY surcharge added to everyone's taxes with an expiration date so they don't keep spending it after the corona virus expense is covered; A drastic reduction in the allowable tax deductions: no travel at tax payer expense, they want to vote remotely- they can correspond with whoever remotely,too; no more wild goose chase investigations- ever.This is(supposed to be) a country of laws, we should investigate crimes, not individuals and the investigation should be done by professionals like the FBI and not by a bunch of grandstanding congress members whose primary goal is getting their face on TV.
