“Whether refusing to salute our troops or laughing at reporter questions about a border crisis of their own making, Kamala Harris is having quite a week. Instead of jaunting to Connecticut, perhaps her time would be better spent working to reopen our schools and stop pushing pork-laden projects unrelated to COVID that Connecticuters couldn’t care less about.” – RNC Spokesperson Michael Joyce
Background:
- In the so-called “relief bill, only $6 billion will be spent this fiscal year to reopen schools for America’s 50.7 million public school students.
- Democrats’ bill won’t even require schools to reopen even though the science says they safely can.
- Not included in the bill is:
- An actual COVID plan that prioritizes relief and needed assistance.
- Democrats rejected a provision to help private and parochial schools combat COVID-19.
- $350 billion for a blue state bailout, with funding being distributed by a formula that’s biased towards primarily Democrat-run states.
- $86 billion for a pension bailout that pre-dates COVID-19.
- $1.7 billion for Amtrak.
- $800 million for foreign food aid.
- $470 million for the humanities, arts, and museums .
- $100 million for the EPA to “address health outcome disparities from pollution”
- $20 million for “language preservation.”
- An Obamacare expansion that subsidizes health care for wealthier families.
- The Democrats’ bill is full of pork and unrelated projects that have nothing to do with COVID relief.
- Planned Parenthood funding
