Democrats with Biden at the helm passed a $1.9T with no Republican support. Will Republicans still cry foul?

Update:

When they get their undeserved money from the Democrats Family of 4 making $110 thousand with 4 kids, $5600 checks. Individuals getting $1400 each. What did you ever get from Republicans. A 1 time payment of $600? Man, the Dems are really communist and have stolen your pathetic Trump status away.

Update 2:

GARBO7441: I don't quite understand your answer. I agree  with all of it. Maybe you misread my question. I mentioned nothing about economics. Only tried to prove a point that the stimulus bill was a good thing. I actually saw that 75% of American  voters approve of the stimulus bill. It only went 50-50 in the senate.

Update 3:

BILL: Your bogus typical Republican answer doesn't  surprise me. Even in the sight of a good thing happening in this country, you still try and put blame to it by your adversaries. 75% of the country approve of the Covid rescue stimulus bill. Only in the fart fest of the Republican Senate was the vote 50-50. As far as gun controls, the only Americans who support it are the moron Republicans who are "scared"without guns and want to kill people.

Update 4:

L: The National Guard and fence are needed so politicians don't get killed by your anarchists.

Update 5:

L: The National Guard and fences are needed to prevent politicians from being murdered by your antarchists.

    To be fair, rank and file Republicans are much more supportive of the bill than Republican politicians in DC are.  You're right that every Republican in Congress voted against the American Rescue Plan.  But support for it is pretty high among Republican voters.  IIRC over 75% of Americans support the bill.  This includes basically all Democrats and IIRC almost half of Republicans.  Even Republican politicians outside DC are more supportive of it.  One of the big criticisms which the GOP had of the bill was due to its bail out money for state and local governments who have seen their budgets hurt by covid.  But Republican officials on the state and local level have been largely supportive of this bailout money because they know how hard they've been hit by the disease and that they could use some help.

    You just don't get economics do you, Larry?  The object is to pump money into the economy by having people SPEND the stimulus money.  You know, buying things so small businesses become profitable, frequenting food service businesses, and getting the economy back on track. Not to mention keeping people from losing their homes and/or being evicted because of lost jobs.  You know, all of the result of tRUMP's failure to deal with the pandemic early on. 

    This bill has the support of an overwhelming majority of Americans. That includes a majority of Republican voters, with some polls reporting 59% of Republicans backing the bill.  Republican Senators and House members are going to have a difficult time defending their 'No' vote in their next election.  Although, some are already trying to take credit for the bill that they voted against.  LFMAO!

    Aside to 'Bill' (Democrats like to claim they are promoting unity by pushing politics that they know half of the country hates.)  

    Both elements of your statement are erroneous.  The stimulus bill HAS promoted unity... with VOTERS (See above).  Just not with Republican legislators, who put staying in power over the good of the country.  Second, 'half' of the country would be 50% of the voters.  Far more than that support the stimulus bill.

    That's just the way Pelosi is doing everything now - no Republican votes at all.  I guess this is why she insists of having the National Guard there and a fence.  If she was doing her job legally - then NO National Guard or fence would be needed.

    Some are crying foul, others are trying to take credit for it, and others are saying it's all pork. Typical Republican BS.

    Democrats like to claim they are promoting unity by pushing politics that they know half of the country hates. Democrats even intentionally put up a covid bill that they knew no republican would support and Biden still had the nerve to claim he wants unity. F*ucking a*ssholes. 

    And btw, democrats passing gun control yesterday in the house is as divisive as it gets, but democrats are still claiming they are the party of unity. They know for a fact half of the country is opposed to gun control, but they pass it anyway. Do you want to know why democrats are hiding behind a black wall? Because they're authoritarian a*ssholes that intentionally piss people off.
