My idea to inject congressional oversight into the #CARESAct was supported by Republicans, Democrats, and independents. It passed, it was signed into law, and it is not up for debate. We're watching.

Rep. Dean Phillips authored a measure to oversee spending under the $2 trillion coronavirus relief package. Trump has pledged to sidestep it. minnpo.st/2UU4cnn by @gabemschneider

Question. Is the oversight going to be the typical political crap that hampers the money going to the right places? I am not overly confident in our Congress to make good decisions on money. Trump’s policies have been a lot better than Obama or Congresses.

100% agree. Let’s crowdsource. Start with easy access to the data- searchable by company name, location (city, zip)., amounts, etc. Allow downloads of data; Mirror data on mult servers so one doesn’t crash. *Can’t wait to hear arguments why this isn’t right.*

Thank you so much Dean. Is there any discussion around educational needs going on? I have two kids in highschool, one a senior. He’s emotionally a wreck and my freshman girl is, a really depressed freshman girl. All the stupid pressure on highschool teachers to “Perform!”
