Not many are happy about this on the right. I'm reading either disappointment because we added more to the debt or disappointment more money wasn't spent on actual americans. I actually agree with Trump on the second point.

Why is it that congressional republicans are so reluctant to give a dime to actual tax payers. There is a ton of foreign aid in there, and a ton of special interests but Trump had to fight to get unemployment benefits and security for small businesses.

Not to mention the pathetic 600 dollars that won't do a think for americans in 2021. And this should be an easy win for the Rs. We won't let you starve and go homeless while the democrats force you out of your job and lives. Instead you have it the other way, democrats saying that republicans don't care whether you have a home or food.

Agreed on both counts. Republicans were mainly concerned with closing future “loopholes” that allow Treasury to hand out money to states or cover state deficit shortfalls under a Biden admin. Dems held direct stimulus hostage to that. Hence the compromise, which pleased nobody. The problem is, Trump held no cards to bluff with, so he got called on it.

Joe Biden looks presidential only if, by definition, that includes having no principles and caving to the extreme left socialist democrats.
