The non-COVID19 non-relief act

If the unfocused $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief bill supported by Democrats is passed into law, the total cost of all the relief packages will surpass $40,000 per household,  according to the Congressional Budget Office. (Washington Examiner)

The $1.9T COVID-19 bill Would also pay for abortions and National Endowment for the Arts politically correct art. (Townhall)

The corona virus relief bill also includes re-opening of ObamaCare era federal insurance marketplaces from February 15 to May 15. (Wall Street Journal)

Benefits from the COVID relief are supposed to be around $3,000; the cost will be around $40,000.  That makes this government handout's net cost of about $37,000 per beneficiary.  The whole relief bill will cost 12 times as much as it benefits people.   The deception of government handouts is in high relief.

This gives depth to the old maxim, "That government governs best which governs least."  We would be in better condition if we didn't get so much "relief" from the government.
