5 Things You Need to Know About Pelosi’s Bill
House Speaker Pelosi has continuously postponed the House’s return to session, only to release an 1,800 page, $3 trillion, entirely partisan bill crafted in secret — then demand a vote on it the very same week. It passed along mostly partisan lines. It must be totally rejected by the Senate because of its size and substance. This added $3 trillion dollars, the most expensive bill ever to pass Congress, would put federal spending at 52% of the Gross Domestic Product, which is unsustainable for any nation. In substance, Speaker Pelosi’s new bill contains wildly irresponsible provisions having nothing to do with coronavirus response. Reading her wish list is instructive.
Speaker Pelosi is using her bill to try and push a wish list of dangerous policies and unrelated spending that has nothing to do with coronavirus response.
- It would prevent the government from informing the public about lower cost coverage options like association health plans or short-term limited duration plans.
- American families need to know about all their healthcare options now more than ever. Democrats think Washington knows best and want to limit families’ choices.
- FROM PROPUBLICA: “There is bipartisan consensus that mail-in ballots are the form of voting most vulnerable to fraud. A 2005 commission led by President Jimmy Carter and James A. Baker III — George W. Bush’s secretary of state — concluded that these ballots ‘remain the largest source of potential voter fraud.’”
- Making matters worse, their bill would even prohibit states from trying to combat voter fraud by requiring a form of ID to obtain an absentee ballot.
- House Democrats want to provide work authorization for illegal aliens they claim are in “critical infrastructure” jobs.
- Pelosi’s bill would enable illegal aliens to receive direct stimulus payments funded by American taxpayers, as the bill does not require social security number verification.
- House Democrats’ bill provides a bail out for failing union-run multiemployer pension plans.
- While they have politicized this crisis to attack the President every step of the way, House Democrats clearly have no intention of holding China accountable.

Democrats have continuously postponed the House’s return to session, only to release a 1,800 page, $3 trillion, entirely partisan bill crafted in secret — then demand a vote on it the very same week.

It would be the most expensive bill to ever pass the House of Representatives.
Provisions include:
- $915 billion to bail out state, local, and tribal governments
- $25 billion bailout for the Postal Service
- $10 million for National Endowment for the Arts

- Mandates a blanket release for certain covered federal prisoners and alleged criminals, while imposing a high burden for the government to prove they present a risk of harm to society upon release.

- Expands Obamacare through a new Special Enrollment period, which has already been rejected by the White House.
