On Monday, the lead Republican blasted the contents of the bill, noting it\u2019s \u201cstuffed with non-COVID related liberal goals and more band-aid policies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>His remarks came hours after the Senate Budget Committee voted to send the bill to the House of Representatives. The bill includes giving money to colleges with ties to China and progressive environmental groups.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The partisan bill Democrats are preparing is stuffed with non-COVID-related liberal goals and more band-aid policies as if the country were going to stay shut down another year.<\/p>\n<p>We need 2021 to be different than 2020. Congress should focus on smart policies to help that happen.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Leader McConnell (@LeaderMcConnell) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LeaderMcConnell\/status\/1363990094739341315?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 22, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>McConnell urged Democrats to reach across the aisle to pass a more focused bill to the American people.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe American people do not deserve policies that presume 2021 will be just like 2020; our nation needs this year to be different,\u201d he stated. \u201cIf the administration were interested in policies to make that happen, they\u2019d find the same kind of bipartisan support that every historic COVID-19 package has received so far.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Republicans in the lower chamber are moving to expose what they are calling \u201cliberal goodies\u201d hidden in the massive trillion dollar coronavirus relief package. This comes as a number of issues in the package are raising eyebrows.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, the bill would extend <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sba.gov\/funding-programs\/loans\/coronavirus-relief-options\/paycheck-protection-program\">Paycheck Protection Program<\/a> business funding to owners who could have felony records, including violent criminals. Controversial large companies such as Planned Parenthood would also receive funds through the program, which is meant for small businesses.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the bill includes a $50 million budget for environmental programs and some undocumented immigrants would be eligible to receive the proposed $1,400 stimulus checks.<\/p>\n<p>A full House vote is expected as soon as this week.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/gop-caucus-unveils-playbook-to-combat-democrats-1-9t-covid-relief-package\/\">GOP caucus unveils \u2018playbook\u2019 to combat Democrats\u2019 $1.9T COVID relief package<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2274013,"comment_status":"close","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/dzm0ugdauank9.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/AP21044605241835-655x437.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"Democrat stimulus bill stuffed liberal fluff, says Senate Minority Leader McConnell","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-163882","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/dzm0ugdauank9.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/AP21044605241835-655x437.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"Democrat stimulus bill stuffed liberal fluff, says Senate Minority Leader McConnell","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/163882","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=163882"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/163882\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2274013"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=163882"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=163882"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=163882"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
