Senators Ed Markey (D-MA), Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), and Kamala Harris (D-CA) have introduced a bill to provide Americans with $2000 a month, retroactive to March, to help struggling families stay afloat during the economic disruption wrought by the pandemic.

But another politician disagrees.




Ted Cruz (R-TX) called out the proposal, joking that we should give everyone $1 million a day forever from our "magic money tree." He also suggested we give people three soy lattes and a foot massage.

The proposal can be debated for its efficacy and cost, but it's a very real attempt to try to alleviate the issue facing the nation.

So Markey shot back.



The conversation surrounding the bill didn't remain between the two senators either. Cruz, who is no stranger to drawing the ire of the internet, once again became the butt of jokes.

Specifically, many called him out for criticizing the bill for its cost when he's voted on much more expensive pieces of legislation.

Some even connect it to his donors for reelection.





Cruz and other Tea Party members have been very vocal in their criticism of government spending in other areas. They even bucked their own party, criticizing the CARES act for the cost.

Despite this, Cruz did eventually vote to pass the bill.

The conversation over the bill didn't remain between senators. Others online soon joined in, making fun of Cruz's inept attempt to criticize the bill.

It would seem many online do not care for Ted Cruz.






Congress is still trying to find another solution to the help struggling Americans. The House of Representatives has passed their own take on the next relief package, but discussions with the Republican held Senate haven't moved forward.

Whether or not another relief bill gets passed remains to be seen. For now, people should try to help each other as much as they can.

Polling indicates that eliminating the Education Department is largely unpopular, with 60% of registered voters opposing the move, according to a Quinnipiac University survey conducted March 6-10. Support stands at 33%, with opposition particularly strong among Democrats—98% oppose it, while just 1% support it.
