Here's what Democrats want added to Relief Bill

[RiverRat1]

This is what's holding them up. Democrats added all this pork. Freaking insane.
This is NOT a thread on should we bail anyone out. Both (D) and (R)'s agree to bail out people and business..

It's about the extra BS they have the balls to try and get in there knowing full well this bill has to get passed ASAP.

-Corporate Board Diversity
-College Debt "relief"
-Election Auditing
-Canceling the debt of the Postal Service
-Same-day voter registration
-Requiring airlines to offset their emissions

And

-Pay Equity
-Funding for community newspapers
-Free internet
-$100,000,000 for NASA's environmental restoration group?
-Mandatory paid sick leave for every single business
-hiding the citizenship status of College Students from the Census Bureau

Be a lot cooler if they wanted to add something to make the bill fair to ALL taxpayers.

I get the feeling their actual goal is to present something Trump will have to veto. Then their media lackeys will take it from there.

Bring back the line item veto!
Or bills should be required to contain one subject at a time and passed individually.

Think along with all of that, some didn’t want more corporations to be able to buy back their own stocks with money given to them by the federal government. I haven’t read the bill, but if that’s the stance they’re taking in opposition to the bill then I agree. We shouldn’t be a country of socialism for the top 1% and rugged individualism for everyone else.

I was under the impression that was part of the original bill, but could be wrong.

Not sure but I think that’s why reporters were hammering trump about whether or not he supported adding verbiage to forbid stock buybacks with government money. He said he didn’t like it but never said he would forbid it.

Line item veto and zero pay for members of Congress when they fail to get tgrbudget done on time or if the government shuts down.

The House Democrats’ coronavirus recovery bill allows several hundred thousand foreign workers to get college jobs or blue-collar jobs while millions of Americans lose their careers.

“I can’t even believe they have the nerve to spit in the face of Americans who are now unemployed,” said Rosemary Jenks, policy director at the NumbersUSA. The GOP and President Donald Trump must oppose the “Foreign Workers First bill,” she said. “Americans are being laid off right and left … Americans are going to need all the help they can get.”

“Congress seems hell-bent on replacing Americans with foreigners,” said Mark Krikorian, the director of the Center for Immigration Studies. “We’re going to have 30 percent unemployment or more — higher than the Great Depression — and yet we are going to bring in more people from abroad? It surreal.”

“This House bill is disgusting,” said Marie Larson, a co-founder of the American Workers Coalition, which organizes U.S. graduates to oppose companies’ growing use of foreign visa workers. “It is an overreach; it has to be called out.”

“During the public health emergency …. [officials] shall temporarily suspend or modify any procedural requirement with which an applicant, petitioner, or other person or entity must otherwise comply under the immigration law,” says Sec. 10607 on page 63 of the 1,119-page House draft.
