The $600 is the least important part of the relief bill. Direct checks are a completely ineffective form of relief that mostly go to people who don't need them. We have millions going into poverty bc no PUA unemployment + permanent job losses w businesses closing.

Again, here was what was actually in the relief bill. All the items other people are citing have nothing to do with the relief bill. They were part of the omnibus bill authorizing the government's budget for the full year. 
I agree that our government wastes a lot of money and we need spending reform. That's not happening right now or in the next week and choosing this moment to suddenly care about it and hold needed relief for Americans hostage is just dumb.
oh and btw the eviction moratorium, which was extended in the relief bill, expires on Dec 31st if the relief bill is not passed by then. Right in the middle of winter.
