Buried within the 591-page bill is a $350 billion bailout for 50 states, tribal governments, U.S. territories, and more than 30,000 cities and counties.
This change caused 23 states to gain $31.9 billion and 27 states to lose that funding.
Including an extra "Plus up" from the previous CARES Act Covid aid bill, the District of Columbia received more funding at $2.3 billion than 13 states.
Congress earmarked $1 billion for the top ten richest counties across the U.S. Four of the top six are located in Virginia and Maryland, near the Washington, D.C. beltway.
They include Loudon County, VA; Howard County, MD; Arlington County, VA; and Fairfax County, VA. With a median income of $136,000, Loudoun County has the highest income of any U.S. county with more than 65,000 residents.
Located in the heart of Silicon Valley, the county has the highest median income of any county in California.
Here are the top five counties receiving the most money in COVID "Relief": Los Angeles County, CA; Cook County, IL; Harris County, TX; Maricopa County, AZ; and San Diego County, CA. During the past three years, Republicans and Democrats have helped drain the U.S. Treasury from the left and the right.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
