Yes. This is supposed to be a covid crisis assistance bill. Any money's having nothing to do with the effects of the virus across the spectrum should not have been included, i.e. libraries, planned parenthood, PBS radio, etc. $2 trillion? This money is corrupted and is definitely not "free". It is wasteful and in some cases fraudulent spending by those we elected to be trusted stewards of our hard earned dollars
