In the wee hours of Wednesday evening, the U.S. Senate finally passed the $2 trillion coronavirus stimulus bill after a great deal of Democrat stalling and a futile effort by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to put forward a separate bill jam-packed with liberal Christmas wish-list items.
The bill provides crucial relief to businesses struggling with the social distancing strategy of stopping the spread of the coronavirus.
The stimulus bill is far from perfect, but its passage unmasked Pelosi's tactics as a disgraceful waste of time during this crisis.
The bill also includes $25 million for the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, which Trump described as a concession for Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer.
On Monday, House Democrats under Pelosi filed an alternative stimulus bill packed with liberal pet projects including collective bargaining for unions, a $15/hour minimum wage, a massive slate of election "Reforms," and absurd carbon emissions standards for airlines - including the requirement that every airline report the carbon emissions for every single flight, to be advertised along with ticket sales online.
Pelosi eventually dropped her bill, but it appears Democrats did get a few of their pet projects in, including the perverse incentives in unemployment insurance and funding for the Kennedy Center.
Americans should not soon forget that while Republicans rushed to act, Schumer and Pelosi blocked the bill, wasted precious time, and tried to ram their Christmas wish-list items down the throats of Americans in the middle of a crisis.
