U.S. Rep.: 90% of stimulus bill not related to epidemic aid

The U.S. House of Representatives passed Biden‘s $1.9 trillion Epidemic relief plan last week, and on Thursday, March 4, the proposal entered the Senate process. U.S. Rep. Mike Kelly, recently pointed out in an interview with the English-language Epoch Times that more than 90 percent of the $1.9 trillion bailout plan being pushed by the White House has nothing to do with epidemic relief, but is instead used to fund leftist policies.

Rep. Mike Kelly said that only 9 percent of the funds in the bill are related to the epidemic relief, and most of the funds will go to the Democratic Party. He denounced that the Biden Administration should not use the epidemic as an excuse to squander taxpayer money for leftist political purposes.

According to Kelly, “We’ve allocated trillions of dollars in funding and we haven’t spent it all. Now we’re going to add another $1.9 trillion, and only 9 percent will actually go to epidemic relief. The rest will support Democratic blue states, the ones that are not doing well.”

Rep. Kelly also said the U.S. debt is $130 trillion, but the Biden administration has not been careful about spending.

He said, “We should be making sure that every dollar we spend is going to pay off for the taxpayers. But that’s not what we’re doing. And a lot of Americans don’t realize that government money comes from taxpayers. These are not government dollars, these are Americans’ dollars being redistributed by the government.”

On top of that, for many voters who decided not to vote because they were disappointed in last year’s election, Kelly said that to do so would be to make the biggest mistake of all. He encouraged voters to take an active interest in their local elections and to resist left-wing thinking in their schools.

Congressman Kelly concluded by emphasizing that the Culture of cancellation has taken its toll on America and called on Americans to stand up for the truth.
