The Second Stimulus bill to fight the virus

Have you looked at the 2nd stimulus bill?https://apps.npr.org/documents/document.html... If the funds went to the people, we'd each get about $6,000 ($2 Trillion divided by the population), but it won't be distributed that way. There are too many pay backs to be made. A politician has to raise money, after all. I've traveled on Amtrak and $526,000,000 won't be enough to save it.
