Sen. Blackburn, Gov. Lee: How Biden's COVID bailout hurts red states and offers up big blue state payday
The House version of the "American Rescue Plan Act of 2021" is a $1.9 trillion blue state payday marketed as the desperately-needed COVID relief package Democrats have been teasing since Inauguration Day. The Senate’s amended "Schumer substitute" is just as bad.
This hyper-partisan bill and the process through which it’s being passed represents everything that's wrong with Washington. And unfortunately, Tennessee and other fiscally conservative states are on the losing end of the deal.
Their scheme trickles out a paltry 9% of its total price tag for vaccine distribution, expanded testing, and health care jobs, and dedicates billions to earmarks and line items that will overwhelmingly benefit Democrat-run states at the expense of Republican-led ones.
Obiden really is helping ALL Americans, lol. I thought he was going to do things to unite the country.
All this money to help Democrat governors like Cuomo who have wrecked their own state budgets with stupid pork of their own.
If you are a Democrat, partisan pork is best.
