If that bill was full of pork, why did Republicans not block it? Did they get part of that pork?
Алексей, а что, правда не знаете, что республиканцы не имеют никакой власти в данный момент?
And that is the statement of how much people of this wonderful country trust (conservative) Republicans at THIS moment.
At THAT moment Republicans had a power of filibuster to block it, but did not use it because (1) some of them put some of that pork in (2) just in case the stimulus does not work, they want to get some political capital.
C'mon, it's politics as usual. Don't put too much emotion in it.
