Nancy Pelosi Pushed 'PORK-LADEN 9 Billion Coronavirus Bill to Steal Billions from taxpayers


This is how politicians on, both sides, steal from hardworking taxpayers. 
President Trump originally asked for 2 billion in coronavirus spending.  But, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer and other Democrats screamed that that it wasn't enough money.  I bet over 90% of the $9 Billion gets spent on other things that have nothing to do with coronavirus.
Fox News reports House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's add-ons were the reason why a Colorado Republican voted against the $8.3 billion coronavirus bill that President Trump signed into law earlier in the day, the lawmaker said Friday night.

"The president asked for $2.5 billion. I would have supported that," Rep. Ken Buck said during an appearance on Fox News' "The Ingraham Angle." But then the actions of Pelosi, a San Francisco Democrat, prompted him to change his mind.

"The speaker decided to add all sorts of Christmas-tree ornaments to this bill. It was unnecessary. It was too much money," he said.

Besides Buck, only Rep. Andy Biggs, R-Ariz., also voted no when the House approved its bill Wednesday in a 415-2 vote. The Senate passed its version Thursday in a 96-1 vote, with only Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., opposing the plan.

  1. The so called pols in DC should all resign for passing such a pork laden Coronavirus bill except for Rep. Buck, Rep. Biggs, no when the House approved its bill Wednesday in a 415-2 vote. The Senate passed its version Thursday in a 96-1 vote, with only Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., opposing the plan.
    How shameful for you to load up pork into a bill that needs every dollar to fight this terrible sickness. Shame on you for failing the citizens of these United States

  2. This bill STEALS from the hardworking taxpayers!! Pelosi Mafiosi (her father D'Alesando was in the mafia) wanted money for the Kennedy Center and other arts! We already pay for unemployment and welfare with OUR TAXES. The govt owns nothing so has to TAKE from someone in order to give to someone else.
