What a media coverup of bad bad policy and rollouts

Waste and kickbacks!!!!

Just 51 votes on everything and destroy the republicans in congress

They donate er bribe career politicians

.... is that senior as in high employer title .... or senior as in imbecile joe senior?

1 trillion of this bill has nothing to do with Covid relief. 1 trillion is extra spending that the senators know would not get passed on its own. If the money is going directly to Covid relief that great. Get all the extra out and the bill will be half the price.

where is the death toll for Joe since taking office? I hear it's over 100,000 already. Not a big issue anymore , eh CNN?

Is he going to start writing checks or are they still blowing smoke up out asses?

The Egyptian government wants a disaster for students and the Egyptian media. Officials do not consider the students ’demands fully, but rather look at what is in their personal interest. We want you except to intervene to save the students. EgyptianStudentsLivesMatter

List there names and companies!

Democrats 30 years ago (except Biden, who goes where the wind blows) would be appalled with how their party is in bed with Wall Street and Big Business. They used to be on the side of the working class.

Who doesn’t want free stuff, Biden is printing more money than the democrats printed mail in ballots, lol 😆

Business leaders should let there Republican donor recipients know to support the package or risk losing funding.This is the only thing they understand

And of course this is CNN, so some serious fact-checking is in order. What exactly is a 'senior executive' CNN?

All must kiss the boot or get canceled

Of course they will, the are democrats and sent money to his campaign, the bill has little to with covid relief and if they did it right they would target people and small biz in a single item bill that would have passed a long time ago.

Biden literally just live-streamed his conversation with Justin Trudeau and no one covered it.

Out of probably 250,000 or more. LOL.

Why wouldn’t they? Seems as though they gonna be the beneficiary of the majority of it..

Um...not sure if you've been keeping the correct temperature on the nation in regard to business/CEO trust by consumers. We don't trust them. Not on any level. When they are getting behind politicians, something fishy is up and we'll be getting fucked somehow.

Are you media doing some kind of god making? Make it look like Biden has a halo on his head

Well, just as long as Senior Executives are good with it. Must keep big business happy, America!!

Meanwhile this plan has a boost in minimum wage. That’s why the senior execs are behind it. I still don’t like it tho

Of course they are. Because they're getting a ton of money. And I'm sure there tons of wasteful spending shoved into this thing too.🙄🤡

You really gonna use a this pic with that framing trying to depict Biden as a holy saint? That's low even for CNN.

AND THEY WILL GET IT RIGHT BACK!! (HIDDEN IN THE 'COVID' PACKAGE)

Well no shit. They get a $15 minimum wage that their competition can’t afford, corporate bailouts, and small companies get screwed. How can the American people be so fucking stupid?

“Totally partisan” does that mean only democrats get a check? Stimuluscheck

Fake News CNN. You guys are a joke. How about telling the truth for once

5% inflation coming in a few years. Thanks Biden, hosing Americans in the guise of progress. Most Americans were never taught about basic econ, which is how you were elected

How low is the public interest in this guys administration? I’ll bet y’all still talk about trump just to piss people off enough for clicks

Can’t leave $1.9t on the table...free $.

What these companies understand - that Republicans do not - is that average people spend money that ends up back in the pockets of business. If you give grants or tax breaks to companies, they buy their own stocks with it. They alone benefit.

That isn’t comforting. It means they benefit and are satisfied people won’t.
