Dems' $2T coronavirus bailout bill a job killer, GOP House budget panel leader says
Fox News
The leading Republican on the House Budget Committee is lashing out against a $2 trillion proposal from House Democrats that's aimed at bailing out state governments following months of coronavirus-related lockdowns.
U.S. Rep. Jason Smith, R-Mo., blasted the plan as a job killer that would also increase the cost of living for working families. "This is all just further proof that COVID-19 is more the pretext than the purpose behind what Democrats are proposing." "Democrats are rushing to pass a nearly $2 trillion spending bill that will enact bailouts for state governments that lock down their citizens and radical policies that will destroy jobs and raise the cost of living for working-class Americans," Smith said in a statement to Fox News.More Related News
