San Fran NanPelosi
Congresswoman-for-Life from the San Francisco Bay Area, born into a family of professional politicians. On-again-off-again Speaker of the House. It's not her fault when they lose, but it's her accomplishment when they win. Noted for her heavily botoxed grimace and occasional senior... uhhh... moments...
announced she was forming a special House panel to oversee the distribution of billions of federal dollars dedicated to the response to the coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague)
...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men...outbreak.
Pelosi, a Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, Democrat, said Thursday the panel would "prevent waste, fraud, and abuse" and would be bipartisan. She appointed the House majority whip, South Carolina Democrat James Clyburn, to oversee the panel.
"The committee will be empowered to examine all aspects of the federal response to coronavirus and to assure that the taxpayers' dollars are being wisely and efficiently spent to save lives, deliver relief, and benefit our economy," Pelosi told news hounds.
Pelosi said the House Select Committee on the Coronavirus Crisis, as she has named it, would examine billions of dollars in federal aid Congress has approved but also how "the private sector reacts to the funds they receive as well."
The most recent relief package, worth $2.2 trillion, enables Congress to appoint a panel to oversee $500 billion in federal loans to companies struggling to survive due to the economic slowdown caused by social distancing guidelines.
Pelosi told news hounds the panel would help ensure states and medical facilities were getting the resources they need.
