$45 billion expansion of Obamacare, including new subsidies for people with six figure incomes. $270 million to the National Endowments of the Arts and Humanities. This isn’t about COVID relief. It’s about using a health crisis as an excuse to ram through a left wing wishlist. https://t.co/6bgmkymuvo — PolitiTweet.org

A white farmer, struggling to get by in Appalachia or anywhere else in the nation, is disqualified because of his skin color. Is this what the Democrats have in mind for ‘racial equity’? https://t.co/plkgISl5yC — PolitiTweet.org

Another absurdity: $4 billion to give 120% loan forgiveness (yes, more than the total of the loan) to only ethnic minority and immigrant farmers and ranchers. No proof of income or loss incurred due to COVID is needed to qualify. Just skin color or when you came to the country. — PolitiTweet.org

The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office once called NeighborWorks “unnecessary” and duplicative of other government programs. https://t.co/KwMXZISvJp — PolitiTweet.org

Pat Toomey (US Sen. ret.) @SenToomey

HUD typically doles out competitive grants for housing counseling. Sec. 3204 skips that process and gives a $100M earmark directly to NeighborWorks. https://t.co/L7iCAH727c — PolitiTweet.org

Despite multiple stimulus checks, increases in unemployment insurance, and a variety of other programs to help people with such costs, we’re also making sure taxpayers cover Netflix subscriptions and condo fees. — PolitiTweet.org

Sec. 3206 creates a $10B homeowner assistance fund for “preventing homeowner mortgage delinquencies, defaults, foreclosures…” through September 2025. But it’s not just about keeping people in their homes… https://t.co/WPeD6tOMsN — PolitiTweet.org

Pat Toomey (US Sen. ret.) @SenToomey

Sec. 3201 says states are supposed to spend these funds helping low-income renters on their rent and utilities until Oct 2022. Then it becomes a slush fund for whatever the Sec. of Treasury decides constitutes “affordable rental housing and eviction prevention purposes.” https://t.co/zDJU6ltH5m — PolitiTweet.org

Pat Toomey (US Sen. ret.) @SenToomey

Congress just spent $25B for rental assistance in December. Most of that money is sitting with the states yet to be spent. Sec. 3201 puts $21.55B MORE toward “emergency rental assistance.” The COVID-19 “emergency” for renters apparently lasts until October 2025. https://t.co/f0NADyCAo7 — PolitiTweet.org

For a year, taxpayers have covered payroll for most airlines. The Dem bill keeps this through Sept. Here’s where taxpayers could be on the hook for raises for airline workers who make almost HALF A MILLION a year. For union airline workers, there is no income limit.

Great to see our economy continue to rebound and defy expectations! ✅379,000 new jobs (198,000 projected) ✅Private payrolls 🔼 465,000 (195,000 projected) ✅Unemployment is 🔽 ✅Average hourly earnings are 🔼 This is great news for all Americans. https://t.co/hKWEol3DH6 — PolitiTweet.org

Should POTUS be able to use $10B in Defense Production Act money for *any activity* so long as he believes there’s a *chance* of a future public health emergency?   We don’t know how Biden will spend this, but we do know it won’t help Americans get through the pandemic today. https://t.co/DY0NGNSgfV — PolitiTweet.org

The federal government generally locks in its contribution to mass transit construction projects.   That makes sense.   You don’t want to set the expectation that federal taxpayers will bail out projects running over budget. — PolitiTweet.org

Congratulations to the good people of Abilene, TX, Weirton, WV, Steubenville, OH, Bangor, ME, Lewiston, ME, and Woodland, CA.   Of the 600 urbanized transit program recipients, you’ve been chosen to get extra cash.   (Pages 175-176) https://t.co/aJVunGIXWp — PolitiTweet.org

This provision is great news for New York City's mismanaged Metropolitan Transportation Authority.   Instead of getting 18% of all dollars in this particular federal transit account, the MTA and NYC-Newark area transit agencies will now get a whopping ONE-THIRD. — PolitiTweet.org

Pat Toomey (US Sen. ret.) @SenToomey

Here’s where the government says it’s willing to give an amount – from this bill and others enacted over the last 12 months – that’s not just equal to 100% of a transit agency’s operating costs, but instead 132%!   (Page 174) https://t.co/D0jCruWwW8 — PolitiTweet.org

When Americans buy clothes, groceries, or any goods, they typically don’t like to pay more than 100% of the listed price.   But not their government. — PolitiTweet.org

In 2020, state and local governments took in record revenues, far outpacing their projections. On top of that, the federal government gave them an additional ~$500B. Now Democrats want to keep bailing out fundamentally insolvent blue states and disguise it as COVID relief. https://t.co/jv461WMVVY — PolitiTweet.org

The Silicon Valley subway earmark does nothing to get vaccines in arms, kids back in classrooms, or help businesses to fully reopen. Glad it's out, but doesn't change the fact that this bill is a partisan liberal grab bag masquerading as COVID relief. — PolitiTweet.org

Another example of the communist Chinese government snuffing out the basic freedoms of the #HongKong people. The Biden administration should invoke the sanctioning powers established in the Hong Kong Autonomy Act to hold accountable those responsible for this aggression. — PolitiTweet.org
