House Republican Policy Committee Finds Needless Spending in President Joe Biden’s COVID-19 “Relief” Bill

While asking Congress to pass a $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief bill, President Biden asked, "what would you have me cut?" RPC proposes cutting the following:

• $86 billionto bail out 185 or so multiemployer pension plans that were poorly managed before the pandemic even started
• $50 millionin grants for family planning with no Hyde protections blocking federal funds from going to Planned Parenthood
• $1.5 millionfor Sen. Chuck Schumer's bridge to Canada
• $112 millionfor Speaker Nancy Pelosi's underground subway to Silicon Valley
• $123 billionfor K-12 schools that would be spent on non-COVID relief in 2022-2028.
• $350 billionin state and local aid that rewards states that shut down their economies which causes massive unemployment
• Any of the$670 billion(over 1/3rd of the bill) that would not be spent this year.
