Where did the first stimulus go? CARES act?

Anyone know where that money went?  Wasn't it something like 2.2 trillion dollars?

Every contractor I know got PPP money

Well, was this true:

 2.2 trillion dollar MASSIVE BARREL OF PORK !!!

Hard to believe but look it up on the Congressional website for HR 748 from 116th Congress.

Stimulus bill: $2,200,000,000,000 ($2.2 trillion)

American adults: 199,000,000

Dividing the cost by every adult equals $11,055 per adult.

The government could have given every adult over $11,000, but instead will give $1,200 to each adult under a certain income. That only equals $238 billion. That’s the .2 in 2.2 trillion. That leaves approximately $2 trillion that doesn’t go to the people.

Wanna know where the missing buckage goes?
