The Democrats have blocked the Coronavirus Response Bill twice now as the American people wonder what will be left of their jobs, their businesses, or their economy. Just as the Senate was about to pass the bill, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi blew up the negotiations in order to craft her own bill in the House.
Majority Whip James Clyburn wants the coronavirus relief bill to be about a Democrat wish list. “This is a tremendous opportunity to restructure things to fit our vision.”
Ostensibly, the Senate bill does not offer enough protection for “workers” among other things. The Democrats say “workers” need more protections, which is just code for “the unions need more power.”
The Democrats, are nothing if they are not loyal to the unions, which donated more than $1.1 billion dollars to Democrats in 2018. Now those same unions want to hold up much-needed stimulus in the form of loans for businesses until they get their pound of flesh, more power in the name of the “worker.”
Via senior GOP aide, Schumer/Pelosi now pushing these demands amid pandemic-fueled economic collapse:
1) Unprecedented collective bargaining powers for unions
2) Increased fuel emissions standards for airlines
3) Expansion of wind and solar tax credits— Guy Benson (@guypbenson) March 23, 2020
Republicans fall into a trap
Republicans and President Trump have fallen into the trap of using Democrat terms, calling Americans “workers.” They think they are talking about all Americans that work, including small businessmen, tradespeople, independent contractors, and employees, but that is not what Democrats mean.
They only consider union members as “workers,” which represent 1 in 10 Americans. The federal government needs to consider all the people that power the largest economy in the world, and Republicans need to stop calling Americans “workers.”
88% percent of the American workforce is not unionized. 36% of those unionized “workers” are government employees such as teachers, police officers, firefighters, and others. Only 6.4% of the private sector is unionized.
Except among government agencies, union membership is in decline, yet unions like the AFL-CIO and SEIU wield a disproportionate amount of power in places like California, New York and Washington DC. Government employee unions make up a whopping 36% of all unionized workers.
Government agencies are particularly suited to meet union demands in “collective bargaining” because they have an endless supply of tax revenue. The private sector just doesn’t have as much money to meet union demands.
Union-backed bill harms Californians
Sadly, policy that is crafted for the “worker” often harms small businesses and their employees, and independent contractors which can include bookkeepers, stylists, exotic dancers, authors, artists, dancers, musicians, consultants, translators, and many more.
Indeed, California is just realizing the full effect of an AFL-CIO crafted bill since it went into effect in January. The bill was sold to Californians as legislation to protect Uber and Lyft drivers and provide them with employee status.
But, in reality, the bill has hurt upwards of 16% of the workforce in California, which amounts to thousands and thousands of independent contractors. Many of them are women needing the flexibility of working for themselves to manage their work and family time.
They are losing their livelihoods due to the draconian penalties included in the bill. Sponsors of the bill simply don’t consider the people working outside of unions and big companies as “workers,” and therefore they believe they can’t have hurt anyone because they simply don’t exist. You can listen to some of the justifications here.
This video explains the harm done by such legislation.
This is America
This is America. If someone wants to work for a company he should be free to make that choice. If someone wants to work for herself, she should be able to. Americans do not need politicians to take care of them. People should be able to make their livings as they please without government passing legislation that destroys their livelihoods.
Independent contractors enjoy working for themselves, setting their own schedules, and taking responsibility for their own healthcare and taxes. But people like the AFL-CIO think that they know better how to manage “workers.” They condescendingly believe the “workers” can’t take care of themselves, they need a government “safety net.” This is a slap in the face to all the many Americans that have managed their own work lives.
No Americans are safe with Democrats in power
If you think you are safe from such destructive legislation, think again. Now that labor legislation has been implemented in California, the Democrats in Congress want to force the same kind of law on the rest entire country in the Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act. The only thing saving the rest of the country from such destructive legislation is a Republican majority in the Senate.

Demorats are at it again…….
President Trump should VETO this Bill if Pelosi’s BS hasn’t been removed!!
No Money for the Kennedy Center
etc., etc.
I agree, do not vote on this bill. Impeach Pelosi and Schumer to get this Country back on track .
👍
Agree
Agreed
Damn straight he should. Now the shoe is on the other foot, impeach her for with-holding funds during this coronavirus epidemic.
YES EXACTLY
I agree with Randy
Nancy’s bill is only her “wish list”. Now is not the time t haggle over these things which can be worked out another time. Kill her Bill and put President Trump’s bill in action to help those now who are out of work and others whose businesses are ready to fail.
I concur,I’m a woman barber there is nothing in the bill being helpful to me !
I have a made a good living and played my bills and own health care! If I don’t work I don’t get paid. Where do I get help since I’m not seen as American worker.even though I pay taxes?
Agree
Their actions fall into one category: Don’t give Trump a win.
Nancy Pelosi is totally unfit to serve in the Congress. She is totally demented.
Unfortunately, the old hen rules the roost and will continue her antics, armed with her inculcated Democrat ideology; unless, of course, divine intervention intercedes on behalf of sentient Americans who want fairness and honesty to prevail — fat chance?
This is not up to the American people, it is up to Californians to vote her out. Maybe this election they will come to their senses and do the right thing for America!
Perhaps “We the People” as the Government of these United States absolutely need and want a say about our needs. Congress has missed the boat. I, for one am finding Congress to be a disgrace.
Ask We the People..We are the government. Thank you.
Agree
AGREE
Democrats “busted” unions in Louisiana with right to work laws, so their supposedly care about unions is just a fake along with many others (e.g. respect for women, right to life, the poor & needy, diversity). They are interested in Hillary’s ability to make millions for the Clibton Foundation while Secretary of State, Hunter Biden’s political connection providing him with a $50,000 a month job with NO experience about it, as well as Pelosi’ s son doing very well because of his political connection. I was once a Democrat and FINALLY pId attention to the way they governed.
Pelosi should be removed. She is obstructing and more corrupted than ever. She is evil. Doesn’t care about the American people.
Nancy is an evil old woman who does not care about “WE THE PEOPLE”. Wanting to slip through $25 million for the Kennedy Center, Green House Gases, Airplane emissions, Windmill Junk, A raise for Congress !!!!!!! Congress needs NO MORE MONEY!!!! They want their slush funds filled first. I am sick to death of Nancy, Schumer, Nadler, Schiff and the whole lot of these gangsters. God bless President Trump and God bless America.
Amen! I am sick to death of all the EvPil people like Nancy Pelosi, Schumer, Schiff, the Squad and Bernie Sanders and all the STUPID,LYING, CORRUPT, POLITICIANS WHO DON’T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT AMERICA OR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE! PITIFUL, HORRIBLE, THE POOREST EXCUSE FOR HUMAN BEINGS NEED TO BE SHIPPED OFF TO VENEZUELA FOR LIFE!!!!!
MORE CRAP FROM THE DEMOCRATS! REMEMBER THAT IN NOVEMBER VOTING BECAUSE OUR PRESIDENT TRUMP AND THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WILL STOMP ON THE LIKES OF YOU LIKE A ROACH OR A RAT! YOU ARE DONE! MAY GOD DEAL WITH YOU AS YOU HAVE DEALT WITH REAL AMERICANS, BECAUSE IT IS OBVIOUS YOU ALL ARE NOT! COMMUNIST!

The problem is, ho in the heck ants them?!
//locksmiths-guildford.co.uk]west locksmith
Wish we could send them to one of the Nations that has the government they agree with. Wonder how long it would be before they would be sneaking thru the border and trying to get back.
Get rid of Pelosi and all career politicians!
Any bill that contains items not concerning the Coronavirus must be stopped. The Democrats are insane.
The DAMACRATS are at again. They know that they have to show their idiotic power now because in November not if but when they loose their majority they will not be able to get the wish list done. They have no care for the American worker or even an American citizen. Nancy PEE-on-osi said it her self “I don’t care; I don’t care; I don’t care” for once she told the truth. She doesn’t care and we know it. Its time for her to go.
Nancy Pelosi needed to go home to California. Maybe she can shout her liberal comments from the street corner. She needed to be removed from office. All she cares about is her ability to dictate her agenda!
Pelosi needs removed , shes committed so many crimes,including telling illegal immagrants to avoid ICE ( its a highly criminal crime,,) Seems to me the democrats are getting away with alot, when republicans in up in prison for their crimes.. As for Pelosi stimulate bill , what she wants has NOTHING to do with the coronavirus..They need to start treating democrats as the criminals they are…She can submit what she wants in another bill. STOP playing your games PELOSI with other peoples lives…
Nancy Pelosi is always saying no one is above the law but apparently she is because with to much stuff. She doesn`t care about the American people not even the people in her district, when are they going to get rid of her, Nancy is so full of hate for President Trump that she is completely out of control. Someone has got to stand up to her!!. She thinks she is so much better than the working people.
I can not believe the Republicans are that freakin stupid to fall into that Dumbocrat trap? They CANNOT allow any of their BULLS*IT items to be put into this bill !!!
Democrats continue to prove they hate our country and especially the people who pay their excessive salaries.
Nancy peloise needs to be prosecuted for treason and deport her deplorable self forever what a tearable waste of humanity she is
Pelosi and Schumer want coronavirus relief to include Planned Parenthood funding
| March 24, 2020
Well if Nancy mother would have swallowed we would not be talking about abortion
Nancy needs to be impeached! I believe what she is doing (besides holding hard working Americans hostage) is called quid pro quo. Isn’t that what they said about the farce impeachment on Trump? Give me what I want or I will withhold the money. She needs to be charged.
Isn’t there a way for the President to make an Executive Order? Why must he wait for the Democrats to agree when they will never?
We need to get some real men in there. Demarats are the only ones with balls.
never vote for a Democrat.
You would be damm fool if you did
Pelosi and Schumer could care less about what is best for Americans. They are heartless, greedy Democrats. That goes for a large percentage of the members of the Democratic Party.
No doubt they want Trump to fail because their lies could not defeat him.
But they obviously do not think about what terrible position they are putting millions and millions of Americans in.
The point is they know exactly and they still do not give a damn.
I just hope those undecided voters remember how terrible Democrats are in November at the polls.
President Trump should close down this funding…..Open all workplaces, put people back to work.
Every time democrats get their way, they go crazy the next time there is a vote. He should follow through and not sign this bill. These democrats are the most sleazy , uncaring people for the USA I have ever seen. They want this country to fail. Evidently all these people in Congress would rather destroy this country than help. They should be ashamed.
Nothing should be in this bill except things regarding the virus.
Polosi needs to be stopped. Can we charge her with attempted spread of virus. Of holding The American people hostage. Just to get what she wants. She needs to be stopped. Why can’t we get her out of office. She is insane out of touch with reality.
We need to get some real men in there. Demarats are the only ones with balls.
You should know that Piglucie and shummerbut are communists and Satans helpers.
Talk about “wish list”…. we the American people have a Big “wish list”… that everyone turns out for all upcoming elections AND VOTE REPUBLICAN SEND A VERY CLEAR MESSAGE TO THE DEMOCRATS… They are not concerned about us only their own special interests.
Last I knew these FRICKING Politicians work for US!! Time to make them accountable to the people!
Trump needs to call the top Republican and Democrat from both the house and US Congress to come to the White House for a meeting. Tell each one of them. That they need to go back and work out a plan for the American People. This new bill will not have any pork projects attached to it. Work this bill out and get it back to me. Then I will sign it. If you don’t do this. I will write the bill by executive order and send it back over to both the House and the US Congress for approval.
If you don’t like the Democratic then you should stop going to the movies and buying book to stop Hollywood with all there stupid ideas in the politicians mind because they are the ones that is talking and voting for these idiots. If you stop for giving your money to the movies stars then that can’t donate to these idiots. Plus buying materials things that is junk maybe these rich people will become poor just like you all are
Nancy needs to be removed from office! None of the things that Nancy wants in the Bill should be added!
Remember when Pocahontas Warren said all the Republicans want is what she called a ” slush fund”? Well, that’s what they’re asking for. A slush fund for the stupid green new deal, the performing arts…which is insane, and all the rest of the crap they want. None of what they want to put in has anything to do with this crisis. They call it their wish list. We’ll, I’ve got news for them…The American people are gonna get our wish in November when Trump wins again. I hope and pray we take back the House, keep the Senate, and keep the White House. That way, they have NO power any longer. I also pray to Jesus, our Savior, to help us in our time of need in this terrible crisis. Keep praying, America. Every day.
What is happening in congress with this stimulus bill, needs to be made available to the whole world. It needs to go viral on all lines of media to the public. Unless it, is placed out there for all the people to see, not much is going to happen. We the people can take back our control of the Government. !!WE THE PEOPLE!!
There is no We The People, The members of the Demoncrats party believe that the AMERICAN people can’t make the Right Decision about our Government and our Vote for the Office of the President. But they believe that Teenagers can. That just shows how Brain Dead the Demoncrats are, Now we are facing a pandemic of Global Disaster and the Demoncrats want to play Politics and try to hurt AMERICAN’S, America and help to Destroy America. The Democratic party only works for the Good of there own Bank Accounts. It is time we get rid of the scum In our House and Senate and bring it back to the People. GOD BLESS AMERICA and PLEASE GOD BLESS OUR GREAT PRESIDENT.
Nancy Polosi is an advocate for the devil. She needs to get out of office and let someone else take that role. That person should be unbiased and fair to everyone concerned. Opposition will arise as ling as she is in office. She needs to be impeached for treason.
The witch needs to be removed from congress by what ever means it takes.
What does the Kennedy Center have to do with all the people out of work for the time being ?? We will come back stronger than ever with President Trump at the helm again. Do what is necessary to help people until November when the Republican’s will be in control of the House and the Senate.
She is a disgrace to the Republic of this wonderful and bless country we live in, I wish there was an option in the conditions for politicians who run for any office, that if they lie to get into office, that they can be fired from this position and never be able to run for any official position. And have term limits for them, who have been in office for so long they do not have a clue what the American people want. Then we need to get the news outs straighten out
It is time the GOP informs the dems that the dems only control the House, the lowest of the 3 governing bodied. The Republicans control the Presidency and the Senate, the 2 highest governing bodies of the 3. In other words, tell the dems to go very quickly to hell.
