Pelosi Focused On Getting More Money To Americans & Providing Oversight For Trump!
While Trump is busy praising himself on Twitter, Dem House Speaker Pelosi is focused on getting more money to Americans while providing needed oversight on how Trump is spending $2 trillion dollars.
While Trump is busy praising himself and name calling on Twitter, Democrat House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is focused on getting more money to Americans in a package called CARES Two, while providing oversight on how Trump is spending the $2 trillion dollars allocated for coronavirus relief in CARES One.
On April 22, 2020, Pelosi announced the formation of a select committee to oversee the Trump Response to the coronavirus pandemic. She named it “The House Select Committee on the Coronavirus.”
The committee is tasked with providing oversight to the Trump administration’s management of $2 trillion dollars allotted in the CARES One package. This move came after Trump sought to limit the powers of his new Inspector General who is responsible for overseeing the money. Democrats were reportedly alarmed when Trump announced, “I’ll be the oversight.”
“The committee will be empowered to examine all aspects of the federal response to the coronavirus and to assure that the taxpayer dollars are being wisely and efficiently spent to save lives, deliver relief and benefit our economy,” stated Pelosi.
The committee, chaired by Rep. Jim Clyburn, will focus on finding and rooting out abuse, waste and fraud. The committee will have subpoena power.
House Democrats have expressed concern that Trump is prioritizing big business over hardworking American people.
House Republicans are worried. GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy whined that he doesn’t believe Republicans will want to be a part of a “sham investigation.” Trump complained, “It’s a witch hunt after a witch hunt.”
Pelosi’s response has been to continue to focus on providing assistance to the people.
Pelosi has reportedly already spoken with Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin about the next funding package to assist Americans during the coronavirus pandemic called CARES Two.
In an April 14th appearance on MSNBC, Pelosi stated, “We’re getting ready for CARES Two, but CARES One was a bill that had many good features. We were successful working together House and Senate Democrats in changing it from the corporate trickle down bill to a worker’s first pull-up bill. Part of it is a Paycheck Protection Program, which is very important.”
