Where in the fuck are they getting $850 BILLION? trump thinks he can buy his way out of this

(CNN)Senior Trump administration officials urgently pressed GOP senators to approve a House-passed bill to deal with the coronavirus pandemic -- and quickly act on a major economic stimulus package amid growing fears that the outbreak could send the country into recession.

In a closed-door meeting Monday night, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin urged GOP senators to get behind the House bill, which had prompted growing Republican concerns in recent days, with top officials warning the economic situation is too precarious and the threat to public health too severe to let the measure hang in limbo for days.

The cost of the new package will be roughly $850 billion, a source briefed on the matter tells CNN, and will include aid to small businesses and airlines. It's expected to include the White House's request for a payroll tax holiday, something that could cause a fight on Capitol Hill.
Asked what the Senate would do when it officially receives the House bill, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell told CNN bluntly: "Pass it."

Another Hank Paulson blank piece of Paper bailout.

Mnuchin is scared his 10k homes he bought in 13-15 out of Bankruptcy Courts are going to go back into foreclosure after the Casino's shut down today.

wealthy back. The only economic stimulus they want is for the uber rich, not the peasants.
