Dems are saying they dont want the majority of the money, to go to big companys (oil, coal, trumps friends, ect)..
They want to make sure the majority of it, would go to the workers and working class.

Republicans arnt transparent about where the money will go.
It might mostly just go to bailing out these big mega corps, and their shares on the stock market.
Instead of the small worker, out of a job, that might starve due to not haveing money to spend.

It takes balls to go against a bill like this, at this time, knowing the backlash that could come from it.
They probably did it for the best intrests of the common american though.

Another bill will come, that the dems can agree too.
Too early to worry yet, this is so big, the state cant afford to do nothing so some form of help will come.

Well, It's getting a bit late. The money should be in their hands now. They can't vet everyone in the time needed, that isn't possible, they just have to bite the bullet and give it to the rich also. I just hope this isn't some politicking where they'll blame Trump for relection. I didn't look into the story enough to make any assumptions but if they cared at all they should be getting down all barriers for the relief effort and if everything has to be thrown at the wall for the people who need it to get. 

The actual real problem is that a lot of money going into corporations without any preconditions on how it's spent aka a repeat of 2008 aka stock buy backs instead of investing in their product or their workers. Basically a waste of money and devastating for the people. The bill was horrible and it's as simple as that. Bernie Sanders and Mitt Romney should work together to bring a bipartisan bill that actually helps people.
