There seems to be some misunderstanding about this "stimulus" bill.
They combined the "stimulus package" as part of the annual FY21 budget for the Fed governement.
So, all wrapped up within the same doc you have both the things intended for Rona Relief, and the "normal stuff" we spend money on - including foreign affairs.
Now we can discuss all day whether or not we should be spending money on this other stuff for various reasons... but it shouldn't be conflated with the "stimulus" thing.
(which clearly Congress IS doing, and the press is making worse)
FYI here is the bill

Cliffs; they held Corona relief money hostage and used it as a vehicle to push through another pork laden budget. Got it.
