Here is what Democrats tried to put into the Coronavirus Stimulus Bill:
Requires a labor union representative on every airline’s board of directors.
Multiemployer pension bailout lacking needed reforms.
Permanently raises the minimum wage to $15 for any business that receives federal aid for COVID-19.
Cancels all debt owed by the U.S. Postal Service to the Treasury.
Requires all airlines that receive assistance to offset carbon emissions for domestic flights by 2025.
Nullifies the White House executive orders on federal collective bargaining and codifies taxpayer-funded union official time.
Includes a $1 billion “cash for clunkers” airplane program where the Transportation buys fuel-inefficient planes from airlines in exchange for agreeing to buy new ones.
Includes expansive new tax-credit for solar and wind energy.
$10,000 blanket studebt loan forgiveness.
Mandates how states must run elections, including the nationalization of ballot harvesting, requiring early voting, same day registration, and no-excuse vote by mail.
Puts states at risk of costly litigation if they are unable to implement these stringent mandates ahead of the 2020 election.
Requires the Homeland Security Department to automatically extend visas and work authorizations expiring within the next year, including those with Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals and Temporary Protected Status, for an amount of time equal to their prior visa, authorization or status.
Limits Customs and Border Patrol’s ability to shutdown processing centers if there is a health crisis on the border and requires CBP to assure the timely adjudication of asylums applications.
Would allow certain funding to go to sanctuary cities.
Permanent changes to who can serve on corporate boards of directors for companies that receive assistance for payroll and operating costs.
Mandatory disclosure on supply chain management.
Requires board diversity disclosure for all publicly traded companies.
Ban on all federal rulemaking including non-COVID 19 proposals (extends 30 days after emergency) “in an attempt to delay the current administration from promulgating actions House Democrats disagree with.”
Gives stimulas money to abortion providers as a small business.
$25 million to renovate the Washington Kennedy Center.
Amnesty for DACA illegal immigrants.
None of these things had anything to do with helping America during the Coronavirus.
