Our state's cold-hearted rightwing Republican Members of Congress went five-for-five against a virus aid bill before, as I wrote a week ago - -

A possible hang-up: The special $17 billion sweetener for Boeing which recently squandered its Trump-engineered tax reform windfall and crashed two poorly-designed 737-Max aircraft killing more than 300 people might not be generous enough.
Also, there's a lot of socialism in this bill. And what happened to pulling yourself up by your own bootstraps while assembling your own ventilator home-kit by ourself at the same time?
WI GOP Congress reps hit 100% "No" tally. We apologize, world.

The bill provides $450 million for The Emergency Food Assistance Program, which supplies food banks, which are expected to see more clients as job losses mount. Some $350 million would buy additional food, and $100 million would be used for distribution.
The package also provides $200 million for food assistance for Puerto Rico and other US territories, as well as $100 million for food distribution on American Indian reservations.
