GOP's $500B bailout fund would allow for recipients to be "undisclosed" for 6 mos



Igor Bobic ✔@igorbobic

per a Dem source, a provision of the $500B bailout fund proposed by GOP would allow Mnuchin to delay making public for up to 6 months “names of applicable eligible businesses, States, and municipalities and the amounts of individual loans or loan guarantees”

Oh, fucking HELL NO! They're trying to rob the Treasury, OUR Treasury, in the face of a near-biblical calamity.

That's your fucking GOP right there, you stupid fucking deplorable MAGAts!
