Pelosi Says She Has “No” Regrets On Delaying Coronavirus Relief

[Weatherman2020]

What say you, lefties? Is a delay what Americans needed?

 

[Tax Man]

With out her delays there would be no help for you or anyone else except corporations. Moscow Bitch tried to screw the citizens again and Nancy stopped that.

 

[Correll]

I believe that. Regret would require a soul.

Oh please, you assholes whine about anything and everything Trump, and here, with a crystal clear case of a progressive loon doing everything in her power to fuck over the poor and middle class, you go "ho hum".

You are the definition of political whore.

I don't think there's much question about what Pelosi and the Dems were doing, they wanted to try to pressure the Repubs into accepting as many of their political wins as they could, most of which had jack-shit to do with the COVID-19 or the relief effort. Sch as:

350 million for ‘Refugee Assistance’: While at least one in five Americans have either lost their jobs or seen their hours get reduced, Congress slipped an extra $350 million into the stimulus bill for refugee assistance and resettlement, which already has appropriated funds.

$25 million for the John F. Kennedy Performing Arts Center: The DC-based theater will receive the funds for “deep cleaning” its facility and for “employee compensation and benefits, grants, contracts, payments for rent or utilities, fees for artists or performers, information technology, and other administrative expenses.” Hours after word of the cash infusion, the center laid off members of the National Symphony Orchestra.

$13 million for Howard University: Howard, a private and federally chartered historically African American university in Washington, DC, will receive tens of millions for “student aid administration.” But American University, Georgetown University, and George Washington University—all of which are also federally chartered—received no funds through the stimulus. Funding for Howard may be a noble initiative, but has little to do with pandemic relief and should be passed separately based on individual merit.

$1 billion for Amtrak: The failing rail service has lost money every year since 1970; in 2017 alone, it lost $194 million. When accounting for Amtrak’s high fares and taxpayer subsidies, it costs on average four times as much to move someone by mile by Amtrak as it does by airline. If the federal government didn’t constantly throw tax dollars at the service, it would have shut down long ago.

$75 million for the National Endowment for the Humanities, plus $75 million for the National Endowment for the Arts: The price tag also comes with some baggage. After all, the NEA wasted millions in the past, including nearly $100,000 for a production of Shakespeare without using any words and $50,000 for a play about people becoming transgender.

And I'm sure there will be much more to come in the next Emergency Relief Bill.

 

[Rambunctious]

She will have regrets in November....I can guarantee that....

 

[Fueri]

How 'bout that impeachment debacle.

Any ragrets there?

the vile hag needed time to load up the bill with things she can skim off of .

I just read that it may be a 2 trillion dollar infrastructure project. I'm not sure where all this money is coming from, but it's clear that our kids and their kids are going to be paying for this virus.
