Can anyone tell us why there are earmarks in the "Covid Relief Bill" to pay for: a subway in Silicon Valley; union pension fund bailouts;?

rebuilding cities destroyed by violence this past summer after police were told to stand down; foreign aid absent a treaty or an oversight; unemployment benefits; child care benefits?  I can't think of an excuse except the politicians are pandering to buy your vote.  More than 90% of the bill is totally unrelated to "Covid relief".  More than half of the money allocated by the last vote buying bill has been spent.  Why allocate more now?

Update:

hungryjoe, I read huge parts of this garbage.  How much did you bother to read?

Update 2:

Gary, EXCELLENT ANSWER!!!  It was the truth.

    Because that's a FRACTION of the PORK the LIEberal left socialist demoCROOKS packed into the bill to advance THEY'RE agenda and repay THEY'RE supporters with OUR tax dollars!! Keep in mind the money to repay that $2 TRILLION dollar PORK ROLL does NOT come out of politicians pay it comes out of OUR FUTURE taxes so brace yourself for MASSIVE increases in income taxes!!!

    That's the system of horse-trading and legislating our current generation of legislators have grown up with.  It's all they've ever known and it's all they can imagine.  As long as we keep re-electing the same people from each district and state, we won't ever escape this.
