More like it's a big club and they're beating us with it.

It's a big club they're making us pay for before they beat us with it. Hollywood gets more than border security? Wtf

Do you know how much money CHINESE companies got from the last stimulus alone? They never bothered to check if the companies they were giving hand outs to were even US owned companies. The CCP cashed in something like 20million (I don't remember the exact figure, too lazy to look it up atm) off of OUR stimulus because the fucking bill left that many loopholes in it.

Even the $600 they eventually "give" people will be spent on Chinese items.

Honestly Trump's not fiscally conservative.

A few months ago he was pressuring Powell to lower interest rates because he wanted the stock market to go higher. And was bragging about "the fastest stock market recovery in history" while the real economy was tanking. He really does seem to confuse the stock market with the real economy.

I like Trump's agenda in general but fiscal policy is not his strong point.

The new EO prohibits this, right?

You're free to be outraged of course, but there was supposedly 2.5 trillion of spending on stimulus this year. $20 million isn't very much at the scale of a nation-state, and if that's all that foreign nationals got, then there really wasn't a problem. I can only assume that hundreds of billions were funneled to bad actors, but I doubt we'll ever know about it.

Still $20,000,000.01 more than we should be giving to any foreign national for nothing.

Not really. Hollywood is run by another clan.
