PolitiFact s ruling: Mostly False
Here s why: Shortly after lawmakers agreed on sending $600 stimulus checks to many Americans, Facebook users said the COVID-19 relief bill put foreign interests and the arts above the needs of the American people. Every American left and right should be calling for a #VETO of this stimulus ‘deal’ which provides MORE funding to foreign governments and to American arts centers, than to the American people, said a Dec. 21 post.
The post included a picture listing domestic entities and foreign countries appropriated millions if not billions of dollars, juxtaposed with just $600 for the American people.
Under domestic funding, for instance, it listed the Kennedy Center $26,400,000.
