| Pelosi Tries to Take Credit for Wuhan Coronavirus Stimulus Package |
| 2020-03-27 |
| [LI] To no one’s surprise, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi has already tried to take credit for the bill. There are many problems with Pelosi’s short statement. You could call the bill passed a workers-first bill compared to the monstrosity she proposed. Some of the pork Pelosi put in her bill made it into the final version. What does the Kennedy Center have to do with coronavirus? It received $25 million in the bill. Both Democrats and Republicans supported that portion. The Corporation for Public Broadcasting (PBS and NPR) will get $75 million. Pelosi’s bill also contained bailouts for the post office, almost everything the Democrats want to change about voting, federal employee collective bargaining, requiring airlines to offset their carbon emissions, forcing companies to have a diverse corporate board, etc. At her press conference, Pelosi doubled down. |

| #4 Trump’s explanation for the Kennedy Center, etc. funding was it was needed because they have lost a lot of admissions revenue. He was fine with the inclusion. |

| #1 I'm told a Kentucky Pub delayed it by calling for a voice vote. Members have to be present. This, apparently, is the guy Big Jawn Kerry called a bad name. |
