“not everything we want.”
March 25, 2020
After holding up crucial aid for days, Nancy Pelosi is still fighting to get unrelated liberal handouts included in the coronavrius stimulus package, complaining today the compromise Senate bill is a “big advance but not everything we want.”
Here’s a reminder of what Pelosi and House Democrats want taxpayers to pay for:
- $35 million for a Washington D.C. opera house
- $1 billion for more “Obamaphones”
- $278 million for the IRS
- $1 billion for a “Cash for Clunkers” style program where the government buys garbage planes from airlines
- $300 million for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting
- $100 million for researching sustainable aviation fuels
- Modified retirement plans for community journalists
- A provision to protect collective bargaining for federal workers.
- A United States Postal Service bail out
