Porkulus II on steroids.
The Democrats’ One-Point-Nine-Trillion-Dollar COVID-19 relief bill (that’s $1,900,000,000,000) only pays out less than half that amount in actual, direct relief.
The rest is mostly payouts and credits to favored groups, and of course a huge bump in the minimum wage to $15.
What we really need is lockdown relief, continued deregulations, and no more mucking around with the tax code.
Instead, the Democrats propose a return to Obamanomics.
If you’ve forgotten, Obamanomics consisted of taking an economy that was already on its back, stepping on its throat with a sturdy jackboot of regulation and taxes, while smacking it upside the head with a huge sackful of borrowed money while screaming, “WHY WON’T YOU PRODUCE ANY JOBS?”

Here's What's In House Democrats' $1.9 Trillion COVID-19 Relief Plan
The legislation is set for a vote on the House floor at the end of the week. The Senate is then expected to modify it to ensure it can pass procedural hurdles.
