Subject: Fwd: The missing 96%
I have a hard time believing these numbers, but if they are true, not a
single senator or congressman who approved this bill should remain in
office!!

Subject: The Missing 96%
Hard to believe but look it up on Congress website for HR 748 from 116th
Congress. (CARES Act)
American population: 330,483,530
Stimulus bill: $2,000,000,000,000
Dividing the cost by every person in America is $6,051.74
The government could have given every person over $6,000, but instead will
give $1,200 to each adult under a certain income.
