Dems Hold US Workers, Small Businesses Hostage Over Crackpot Left Wing Goody Bag

DEMOCRATS TORPEDO CORONAVIRUS RELIEF BILL OVER RADICAL DEMANDS

Democrats, led by Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer, hold direct relief to American workers hostage over their socialist wish list:

  • While hospitals are overwhelmed and Americans are staying home from work, Democrats are holding the Phase III coronavirus relief bill hostage to push their failed liberal policies.
  • Democrats introduced new language at the eleventh hour, using this health crisis to implement socialist policies like:
    • $300 million in funding for public broadcasting;
    • Expansive new tax credits for solar and wind energy;
    • New emissions standards for airlines and a requirement of full carbon offset by 2025;
    • Required same-day voter registration and early voting;
    • Bailouts for the U.S. Postal Service, the union pension fund, and student loans;
    • Retirement plans for community newspaper employees;
    • Publication of corporate pay statistics by race, and race statistics for all corporate boards;
    • $1 billion “Cash for Clunkers”-style program where the government buys planes from airlines;
    • $1.5 million to study climate change mitigation efforts in civil aviation and aerospace industries;
    • New and burdensome OSHA requirements on hospitals; and,
    • $1 billion to build on a program expanded by Barack Obama that provides discounted phone service for low-income consumers.
  • Democrats only care about this crisis because they can use it to force their big-government ideology—this is no time to play politics while Americans are suffering.
