White House asking Congress for $2.5 billion to fight coronavirus

The Trump administration announced Monday night that it will ask Congress for "at least $2.5 billion" in additional funding to fight the coronavirus.

The request indicates that the administration is seeking to step up its response to the virus as it spreads to more countries.

However, the request met quick resistance from Democrats. Just $1.25 billion of the request is for new funding, with the rest requested to be taken from existing health programs, including $535 million from fighting Ebola.

"The Trump administration’s request for emergency funding is woefully insufficient to protect Americans from the deadly coronavirus outbreak," said House Appropriations Committee Chairwoman Nita Lowey (D-N.Y.).

Right so lets not give him a damn dime to do anything right???? This is the thinking of the dems and quite frankly the morons who are running the show in every aspect...

You pick, either these people are to god damn stupid or they want the virus to spread, which do you choose???

Also think about this, martial law, remember that peskily little thing from years ago with the conspiracy theorist???? Think it is just a theory now??? When china and even Italy now under martial law??? and the virus is already here in 4 or 5 states, and people are to stupid not to spread it or listen and the people running the show to stop it and prevent it are not doing a god damn thing, so just live your life, and if you get it, then you get it... Just pray you don't die from it...

I think all of this is on purpose so they can get rid of the dollar and push us into martial law or to bring down the country... Look at china and italy with city wide lock downs now, their economy is hurting, and ours is starting to hurt... China now is moving to get rid of paper money for digital money, to supposedly helps top the spread of the virus, which is laughable... Had the UN WHO guy enacted a travel ban it wouldn't be as bad... If people where not fucking stupid like dirt, and followed quarantine, and if the retard workers were actually smart to use their brain, it wouldn't have spread... But again it seems its by design, because no one can be that god damn stupid can they???
