The spending habits of our representatives as a whole is an absolute disgrace.
This bill should be 20 pages, yet it’s nearly 5,600 PAGES.
I wonder why that would be? Probably in hopes nobody decides to read it. The 25M for cleaning supplies was found on pg. 136 apparently.

I don’t disagree that it is good that it is shedding light on it. I just don’t like the news headlines saying “look at all the foreign aid in the COVID bill”. It’s not good journalism.
