WI's GOP US Reps can again be "No" votes on a virus aid bill
[11 p.m. update: The Senate's vote was 96-0 in favor, so it looks like our state's "no" streak by Republican members of Congress is broken.]
---------------------------------
Our state's cold-hearted rightwing Republican Members of Congress went five-for-five against a virus aid bill before, as I wrote a week ago - -
- - so why should they suddenly flip from their one-note anti-government ideology and extend help from the government (We, the people) which, like clockwork, pays their salaries and benefits?
A possible hang-up: The special $17 billion sweetener for Boeing which recently squandered its Trump-engineered tax reform windfall and crashed two poorly-designed 737-Max aircraft killing more than 300 people might not be generous enough.
Also, there's a lot of socialism in this bill which showers about $1.2 billion, or a
whopping 0.0006% of the $2 trillion package on people who won't pull themselves up by their own bootstraps while assembling ventilator home-kits by themselves at the same time.

The bill provides $450 million for The Emergency Food Assistance Program, which supplies food banks, which are expected to see more clients as job losses mount. Some $350 million would buy additional food, and $100 million would be used for distribution.
The package also provides $200 million for food assistance for Puerto Rico and other US territories, as well as $100 million for food distribution on American Indian reservations.And the bill singles out one of America's most generous and revered families and their mom-and-pop firms for special, discriminatory treatment.
Trump business can't get money
