The pork's price tag

Rapid Response

The price tag of just the pork in the Democrats’ hyper-partisan $1.9 trillion wish list is more than the entire cost of the 2009 recovery package.

That’s right – there is over $1 trillion in wasteful spending in the Democrats’ bill, while the ENTIRE recovery act was only slightly over $830 billion. In fact, additional estimates calculate that only 9% of the spending is actually dedicated to fighting the pandemic.

And of course, Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi added in hundreds of millions of dollars in pet projects that have nothing to do with the coronavirus.

For a breakdown, check this out from RNC Research.

For Democrats, it’s politics over people. That’s why they delayed relief for months, rejected bipartisanship, and now are using the suffering of the American people to force through a far-left agenda filled to the brim with wasteful payoffs for liberal projects.
