Democrats in Congress don’t see the coronavirus as a threat so much as an opportunity for pork.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi lied about the original package to fight the virus. That package had funding for Planned Parenthood. How does federal funding for abortion stop a deadly virus?

And the Democrats in the Senate are even worse.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-New York, introduced a coronavirus bill that would cost at least $750 billion.

Schumer’s hidden agenda is threefold. First, he wants to scuttle Trump’s economy with more borrowing to inflate the budget deficit.

Secondly, he wants to claim that the Democrats “solved” the coronavirus pandemic with more government and more spending.

Thirdly, he wants to claim that Trump made the problem worse by not throwing more money at it.

Schumer wanted to fund “emergency child care,” remote learning for public schools, and student loan assistance.

Congress passed and Trump already signed an initial $8.3 billion package on March 6.

But Pelosi and Schumer can’t pass any bill without pork. They want to use the virus as leverage for social engineering and to grow the power and size of the federal government.

Trump was sent to Washington, D.C., to “drain the Swamp.” He understands that this is an emergency and that people – especially middle-class workers – are going to need some help. Trump and his team have a solid plan. Giving more money to Planned Parenthood is just plain wrong.
