31 Days In, Democrats Havenât Accomplished A Single COVID Promise To The American Worker
The Democratic Party woke up Saturday morning to its 31st day of leading both the executive and legislative branches of government. They had run on âimmediate [economic] reliefâ to Americans put down and out by largely Democratic COVID shutdowns. Relief, you might notice, that hasnât actually come.
On Jan. 14, less than one week before taking the oath of office, President Joe Biden promised, âWeâll make sure that our emergency small business relief is distributed swiftly and equitably, unlike the first time around. Weâre going to focus on small businesses, on Main St. Weâll focus on minority-owned small businesses, women-owned small businesses.â
But so far in the first full month that Sen. Chuck Schumer, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and President Biden have been in control, the only money that has gone toward American relief has been from that money allocated while President Donald Trump and Sen. Mitch McConnell still joined Pelosi in power, including $1 trillion that remains unspent.
Instead of their promised relief, over the past month Democrats have tried the former president, re-entered the Paris Climate Accords, locked down the U.S. Capitol, and freed up American tax dollars to go to aborting children abroad.
So what about American business owners, parents, and workers suffering under COVID-19 restrictions? Anything for them? So far nothing.
Well, not exactly nothing. President Joe Biden has mandated masks on busses, for example, and Vice President Kamala Harris has claimed credit for the Trump administrationâs vaccine development. Biden has also established a COVID board, created a COVID task force, developed a COVID plan, reviewed COVID, assessed COVID, and held a COVID town hall. Lovely.
âOur rescue plan will provide flexible grants to help those hardest-hit small businesses survive the pandemic,â Biden promised more than five weeks ago. His administration, he said, would âhelp entrepreneurs of all backgrounds create and maintain jobs, plus provide the essential goods and services communities depend upon.â
Instead, at this weekâs CNN town hall Biden told Wisconsin brewer Tim Eichinger, a Democrat who is struggling to keep his employees on and his business afloat, to give White House staff his address so they could mail him that COVID plan â the one he laid out five weeks ago. Itâs the same one Democrats have been sitting on for a month while they fight over things like a $15 national minimum wage hike unlikely to pass the Senate and which even the president admits likely isnât going anywhere.
Whether it does or doesnât will be no help to Tim Eichinger. Nor will taxpayer money for abortion, nor any of the other completely unrelated left-wing projects jammed into this apparently necessary COVID relief.

31 Days In, Democrats Haven't Accomplished A Single COVID Promise
This week Biden told Wisconsin brewer Tim Eichinger to give White House staff his address so they could mail him his COVID plan.thefederalist.com
He had some GOP congressional leaders over to the White House for a discussion for a couple of hours concerning Covid relief. They found a lot of common ground on some points. On others...miles apart.
One should rightly wonder why they can't just make a bill on what they agree on and get it passed and leave the harder subjects alone for later where the Democrats could go it alone.
Biden...same old political games.
I'll take him over the blob any day of the week--they did the same thing under Trump--but this is disappointing.
