Jeffries Claims GOP Trying to Condition CA Disaster Aid with ‘Tax Breaks for Billionaires’
Breitbart ^ | 12/19/2025 | Pam Key

Posted on 01/19/2025 9:43:28 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) claimed Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that House Republicans were attempting to condition disaster relief to Californians for “massive tax breaks for billionaires.”

Host Kristen Welker said, “Let me get your take on disaster aid, Leader Jeffries. You just heard Speaker Johnson say very clearly that yes, there may be strings attached, that yes, it’s possible that they will move to try to link it to an increase in the debt limit. Would you vote yes if that were to come before you? If that were the only way you believe to get disaster relief to Californians?”

The latest pejorative we hear every day from Demonrats is “billionaires.”

They are still trying to paint the Republicans as the party of big, rich fat cats who hate the little people.

The irony is the Demonrats are the most anti-normal, anti-little guy, pro-billionaire party by a country mile. It’s starting to change a bit this cycle as all the billionaire-run companies are realizing Woke DEI has been hurting them and they are now rapidly turning populist, i.e., MAGA.

Well, I guess he was just livid when Biden went to the well so many times to get relief for student loan borrowers by offloading the debt to general revenue taxpayers. Not. The press will be making a huge mistake if they reflexively go to Jeffries for reactions to Trump initiatives We don’t care what he thinks.

It a rational adult response that the conditions, fostered by bad CA Government policy, be address as part of the relief package for CA.

Unlike other natural disasters, human action or inaction, can create the condition for these wildfire disasters to happen

They can’t say “millionaire” anymore because lots of democrats fall into that demographic, especially ones serving themselves in Congress.

Just when you think the democrats couldn’t come up with a dumber person, here comes “The Hack” Hakeem.
This guy is the definitive definition of dense.

The California aid is directed toward billionaires anyway.

Welker asked if he would support the "high cost" to deporting illegals. Wrong question, Stupid. The deportation cost pale into nothingness compared to the current costs of clothing, feeding, and housing illegals. The current estimate for just housing illegals is $1.365 billion for the past 3 years. It's $6.11 millions per month for just the illegals in the Roosevelt Hotel in NYC. This says nothing about the cost imposed by their illegal activities, such as child trafficking, illegal drugs, and gang-related crime.

Skyhook flappin’ his lips again and he hasn’t a clue what the hell he’s talking about. The only billionaires I see anymore are all communist DemonRATS. It was the Jamaican HooDoo RAT who had the billions to campaign and buy votes with. Not Trump!

“This gets so old. RINOcrats are “the Party of the rich.”

They keep beating that drum even thought the past 10-20 years have put the lie to that. All that have is “Republican tax breaks for billionaires” while the Dems do nothing but support all the perverts, abnormals, and freaks to the detriment of normal Americans.

It looks like they might have put “Threat to democracy, Trump is a Nazi, Trump is a fascist, Trump is a Russia asset, Trump is a felon, blah, blah blah” to bed at long last. Now all we will hear is “billionaires, billionaires, billionaires” for years to come. I do believe they issued a new Demonrat hymnal the past month.
