• Imposing same-day voter registration everywhere (only 21 states currently allow it

And:

• Only $5 billion (2%) of $225 billion earmarked for school districts would go to making health safety improvements. “The rest is a teachers union protection plan.”
• $417 billion to state and local governments, with no strings.
• $600 billion-plus allocated to cities, states and school districts would be consumed plugging budget holes.
• $5 billion for community development block grants is labeled by the bill as “flexible resources.”

Its infuriating to see either party putting party line crap in a stimulus bill that’s going out to help people that encompass both sides of the aisle. I just want to see targeted spending and none of the political crap added in.
