Thune: Bipartisan COVID Relief Package is a Win for the American People  

“It’s been a very difficult year for our country. And this winter is likely to be very challenging. But the light at the end of the tunnel is coming. And we  are going to make it through. I look forward to sending additional relief to the American people later today.”

WASHINGTON — U.S. Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.) today discussed the recent bipartisan agreement on a new targeted COVID-19 relief package, for which he has been advocating for months. This legislation will include a second round of Paycheck Protection Program funding for the hardest-hit small businesses and additional money to help schools reopen and safely operate, support vaccine distribution, and prioritize coronavirus treatment and other frontline medical needs. Thune also noted that the agreement will include his Paycheck Protection for Producers Act, which will help more farmers and ranchers benefit from the Paycheck Protection Program, and an extension of his Employer Participation in Repayment Act, which was originally included in a previous COVID relief package. The Senate is expected to consider the agreement as soon as today.

  1. I read it has more money for the Kennedy Center. How many more pets of Pelosi are included again? How does that help anyone? Just more debt to pass on to our kids and grandkids. After Thune’s acceptance of a rigged election, i wont trust him on anything.

  2. I also believe it includes $4 billion for the New York Metropolitan Transportation to improve a system nobody is using because they are leaving New York. If I read the print correctly, I will not receive anything because my wife and I earn too much. At least they got that right.
    If certain states would open their economies, there would not be any need for relief.

  3. 7% of $900,000,000,000 goes to the people, and the corporations and foreign aid will get the rest. I guess Raytheon needs to gear up for our upcoming invasion of Syria. You can just see how giddy the America-Last GOP is for the Biden presidency.

    Elections are compromised, social media is an enforcement arm of the DNC, our justice system has been weaponized, states are taking away people’s livlihoods but thank God the terror of mean tweets is over. Oh and here is $600.

  5. There’s very little difference between the Dems and Republicans at the federal level. It’s disgusting.

  7. My kids and grandkids wish to thank you for the wonderful Christmas present you just gave them that they will end up paying for! Doesn’t anyone in DC have any common sense or backbone anymore? Another reason for new blood in DC.

  10. I only hope that Trump vetoes this f—- piece of crap. I don’t use this word ever. But there is nothing else to describe it. Those who like Trump will appreciate and understand the veto. Those who hate Trump will hate him anyway so no loss. The measly $600 won’t make a difference anyway.

    1. You are getting your wish!!!! Merry Christmas! He did say he wanted to make it $2000/person, but he also wanted to get rid of the junk in the bill.

  11. So, 100% negative response to Thune’s praising of this terrible bill at the time I’m writing this. Direct payments to American families should have been the first priority months ago.

    Thune’s leadership is indeed .. swampy.

    “Conservative”? 😀

    Fix the election. Who cares about this fiat money.

    Fix the economy and protect our country from this type of psychological attack.

    Ha!

  12. Do any of our esteemed representatives read this bs? We shut the country down and this is the relief our government comes up with? Why do we put up with this baloney.

    – Of the funds appropriated under title III of this Act that are made available for assistance for Pakistan, not less than $15,000,000 shall be made available for democracy programs and not less than $10,000,000 shall be made available for gender programs.
