President Joe Biden's administration has requested an additional $30 billion more in COVID funding to go toward the pandemic response.
Axios first reported the figure, which was brought up in a call between members of the Department of Health & Human Services and Congressional staff, adding that members of both political parties are skeptical of the amount with surging inflation and a ballooning national deficit. 'HHS's briefing today or this afternoon was a part of our regular conversations with Congress about various resources and needs including what is needed for COVID response,' White House press secretary Jen Psaki said when asked about the $30 billion figure at Tuesday's briefing.

If the dems didn't play Santa Claus with taxpayer money and overpay folks to sit at home, they would have the funds for longer term assistance. Go pound sand.

This bill has as much chance as passing as me getting a date with a supermodel. Is xiden setting up house democRATs to lose even worse in November? Hey nice bill you're passing I guess you don't care about inflation.

We need to defund the Covid response. It has done nothing but destroy the nation's constitutionally protected freedoms and the nation's finances, while doing nothing would have been best for the country's health. It has all been nothing but a pack of lies. Every bit of the problem was started by illegal funding by the U.S. of bat research. Fauci is a criminal.

Ding, ding, ding! #5, you are the winner! Throwing money at the great unwashed masses is all democrats have. They believe the extra bucks in the pockets of some Americans will convince them to vote democrat. Sadly, it will work for some people. However, the sane, reasonable people understand what’s going on and they are itching to vote. Barring fraud, I like our odds.

What COVID response? That money is being used to something else. Maybe for the illegals, more crack pipes, etc.

Why don't you just use the $30 million Crack kit money for Covid? Why don't you stop diverting money from current Covid fund's to help illegal immigrants travel through the US and get free stuff? Why don't you just finish using the billions already allocated for Covid by Congress but remains unused? We don't need more Covid spending. We need smarter spending of what is already allocated and only spending it on what it was allocated for.

That would be the death nail in many of the restaurants in my city, that are desperate for wait staff. Most are not seating at all tables because they don't have enough waiters.

Enough Joe, the Covid thing is over and the hypnotized people have realized that they have been scammed and that any real danger is from the so called vaccines that they are poisoning people with.

As Nancy Reagan -- the most wonderful First Lady EVER -- said: "Just say no!"
No more COVID-19 relief money. Municipal and State governments are using it to pay off their bills from mismanagement. At least that is what is happening in Illinois. Who is paying? Folks in places like Texas and Florida. Why should they pay the bills for Illinois, New York, and California?

The man is sick with power and can't give away our hard earned taxpayer money fast enough. And no taxpayer gets a freakin dime from any of this moron's proposals. With that said, everybody should realize there is a good chance that the man pulling this puppets strings is none other than Barack Hussein Obama. Done through his capo in the white house Susan Rice. Notice, she is on Biden's staff yet you never hear a word from her. Not a peep. That alone is telling. Connect the dots. Get it yet.

"The sheeple are restless, give them some free money."
I think that's part of it, but it's more than that. They dems are desperate to perpetuate the covid "crisis" through November, so they can demand and perpetuate mail-in balloting, unmanned ballot drop boxes, and other proven voter fraud techniques. Brandon needs to call Fauci, and tell Fauci to call his buds in Wuhan: "Hey, can't we come up with another deadly variant, around August-September? Try lightly radiating some covid test-tube samples! That should produce a few mutations!"

Absolutely not! Not one red cent more should be spent on the BS virus. We've already spent more than was needed. The government screwed up by handing out money in the first place because they shut down the economy on the advice of communist clown Fauci.

As I remember, the junta has already exceeded inflation-adjusted money spent fighting WWII on The Covid Crisis, with nothing at all to show for it except a lot of bulging bank accounts for a few select criminals, plus the customary 10% gratuity for the Big Guy. So what's a few billion more? Janet Yellen, who also belongs in prison, says such spending has no effect on inflation whatsoever.
