Take care of American homeless, vets, elderly and disabled people FIRST!

[@chucklesthered2338]

Why are those things not obvious to Democrats? I believe the Democrat party is anti-America.

[@deannastafford5762]

They already spent all the money. We have to pay it back now. The homeless and vets won't get a thing !! We also don't know what else is in that bill .

[@deannastafford5762]

We didn't win anything. Now the tax payers have to pay it back .

[@dantheanimator5072]

I was thinking maybe this should of been passed BECAUSE these cities have been taking what little help for homeless/vets away But we know good dam well they still wouldn’t get help from this if it passed

[@francismarion6400]

or even our children. Spend that money on teachers before giving it to illegals.

Some may be having genuine changes. Some are just smart enough to see the way things are going and they are likely terrified. They should be too. People will never forget this shit especially when they try to bring the hammer down which is 100% coming at some point.

[@C8Quest]

It’s about time! Democrat voters need to take names of the 13 who voted for this and fully support them. They may be the future salvation of that currently very corrupt party!
