As my PJ colleague Tyler O’Neil noted earlier today, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has introduced the Democrats’ next package they bill as coronavirus relief. As has been the case in the previous bills, this one treats the coronavirus crisis as an opportunity to fund the Democrats’ partisan priorities. Genies continue jumping out of Christmas trees every time Democrats write up another of these bills.
They’ve also prioritized China’s economy in this one. The bill includes a provision that waives Chapter 83 of title 41, United States Code. What’s that?
Chapter 83 of title 41, United States Code, shall not apply with respect to purchases made in response to the emergency declared by the President on March 13, 2020, under section 501 of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 5191) and under any subsequent major disaster declaration under section 401 of such Act that supersedes such emergency declaration.
Chapter 83 of Title 41, United States Code is none other than the Buy American Act. That 1933 law prioritizes American manufacturers over others when the government makes purchases. The Trump administration strengthened the Buy American act last year. The Democrats’ bill would waive it permanently, allowing the government to purchase more goods from overseas, unrestricted.
Advantage: China, the world’s manufacturing hub. Disadvantage: Americans who want to work making things.
Democrats are to be arrested for high Treason
Are you serious Pelosi ? A Gift for China making the COVID to infect US CITIZENS !!!
Pelosi is a dumb ass i cannot the shit this woman comes up with, she has been on a witch hunt for the president since the beginning. her ideas for voting , her ideas for rewriting our constitution, now she want to give China a gift, We need Her out of Government period. So here’s an idea I’m sure would piss off a lot of politicians, the only reform I can see that would help the economy and help get our country back on its feet is too stop paying politicians that are no longer serving in office, stop giving free medical, Secret service etc…. Americans that have normal jobs don’t keep getting a paycheck after retiring from a company why should politicians Just Asking!!
Mike C. I definitly agree with you. WE are the ones putting them in office and THEY see fit to spend our hard working money for their benefit. They get more costly benefits, work less time and the most of what they think about is their OWN agendas. The majority of our elected officials on the extreme left do not care about this country or its people. If anyone who is voting this coming election has any common sense, there would not be Democrats controlling anything, and if they are, people do not have a mind of their own, “sheepple”
