House GOP is very upset that states might get help from COVID relief bill



By Josh Israel -February 22, 2021 5:52 PM

'EVERY American should be enraged right now,' tweeted a Republican congresswoman.

House Republicans claimed on Monday that just 9% of the funds in President Joe Biden's $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan actually go to combat the coronavirus. This figure is way off.

The Republican minority staff on the House Budget Committee shared a misleading pie graph on social media, claiming, "Democrats are pushing a bill that will destroy jobs, harm America's working class, and bailout @POTUS political allies. Less than 9% would go towards crushing #COVID19."

They want to “starve” blue states until they deteriorate so they can swoop in and control them too.
