President-elect Joe Biden just unveiled his proposal for a $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief package. Democrats insist it is targeted to respond to the crisis and only full of “commonsense” measures and much-needed emergency spending.
Yet, even a cursory glance at the specifics of the package reveals that it’s a Trojan horse for a sweeping liberal agenda that Biden could never otherwise get passed.
Yes, the proposal does include billions for vaccine distribution, testing, school reopenings, and the like. But it also includes blatant partisan priorities, such as a federal $15 minimum wage.
Biden knows that this far-left, job-killing policy would never make it out of Congress

Yes, of course. They will pass hideous things under the name of "virus relief". And Republicans will vote for them.

With an average of 6,000 pages per bill that no one reads before they vote for, maybe we could slip term limits into one of them.

The dems plan on the $15 min wage is to take those people who will lose their jobs and put them on debilitating welfare and have them for life. Terrible for the poor people, but good for the democrat party .

This massive socialist dream spending bill will pass easily with virtually NO DEBATE and plenty of character assassination for anyone who dares to speak against it. Over half of the US population will know nothing about it and they wouldn't care anyway.

Nothing liberal about their agenda at all. It is a totalitarian leftist agenda.

"... much-needed emergency spending..."
Translation - bailout for Democrat run states whose liberal policies have them on the brink of bankruptcy, i.e. NJ, NY, CA, WA IL etc

Anytime the Democrats are able to throw a lot of taxpayer's money at a perceived problem, a high percentage of the money is going to end up in the pockets of Democrat supporters and into their political coffers. That's what happened with Obama's so-called stimulus bill where most of the money disappeared into Democrat "shovel ready" projects never to be seen again, except that some low income folks ended up with so-called "Obama phones". The Democrats have figured out long ago that the wimpy Republicans are too stupid to figure out what they are doing, as their special interests write up big money bills, and that if that does not work they just play the race card against the Republican UniParty RINO's who immediately run and hide under their mattresses to keep from being called racists.

If you liked Jimmy Carter you are seriously going to LOVE Biden.
$(.00 a gallon gas that you have to line up for. 15 percentich mortgages. A world buying off your so called president. Glad I've got a farm to grow my food on.

Before I turned 30, my favorite restaurants closed; the Ho-Jo, where my favorite dish was the Clam Roll. I think fondly of all the trips across the wide country where we stopped for a meal or one of 33 flavors of ice cream. It is lost to us now. In its place, we have the Jo-Ho, where all of our clam$ are going to be rolled right into their evil hands.

As we knew months ago. Biden has promised so many things to so many people that the first ones on the list are going to make all of the others mad. Student loan deadbeats could be living in their parents' basements long enough to inherit the house.

Demonrats don't care in a $15 wage destroys small business. Demonrat states have been highly successful in destroying small businesses already in the so-called CV-19 crisis. It's their self-made mandate.
