GOP details Pelosi's $2.5 trillion 'socialist wish list' in coronavirus aid package
Washington Times ^ | 3/23/20 | Dave Boyer

House Republicans on Monday night offered a detailed critique of what they called House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s “socialist wish list” in House Democrats’ $2.5 trillion proposal for responding to the coronavirus outbreak.

“Speaker Pelosi unveiled legislation aimed at exploiting the COVID-19 public health crisis by attempting to force the inclusion of a socialist wish list of policies that have nothing to do with the public health and economic emergency,” said House Minority Whip Steve Scalise, Louisiana Republican.

After poring over the 1,400-page proposal, Mr. Scalise offered his characterization of Republicans’ objections to the following items:

Under the heading of “Union Giveaways”:

• Nullifies the White House executive orders on federal collective bargaining and codifies taxpayer-funded union official time.

• Requires a labor union representative on every airline’s board of directors.

• Multiemployer pension bailout lacking needed reforms.

Nancy, how many Americans have died in this plague since you started this BS? How many more do you intend to kill? What is the tradeoff between number of dead Americans and getting union representatives on airlines’ boards? Maybe the GOP should set up a scoreboard for Nancy's death toll.

Mr. Trump, Be presidential and tell Nancy and Chuckie that you will veto their bull shit bill packed with a lot of stuff having zero to do with fighting this virus and let the country understand exactly why. PORK.

That's what Piglosi wants so democrats can claim it is president Trump who prevented aid for coronavirus victims, businesses, etc.

Mitch needs to kill this democrat crap in the senate.

Every day is proof that Nan is out of her mind. Totally certifiable.

She wants to BE President and is constantly forgetting what and who she is.

Read the part of EARNED INCOME TAX CREDIT EXPANSION.

If you don’t have a SS number or tax Id number you can get the credit (ie illegals).

You can get the credit up to age 66 and anyone without children can get it

Its just loaded with lots of money for folks especially illegals.
