Much of the bill builds off of the $2.2 trillion CARES Act passed earlier this year, but House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has packed this new legislation with loads of liberal wish list items.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, what did she and other Democrats sneak in?<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Over $900 billion in bailouts for state and local governments<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Student loan forgiveness<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A $25 billion bailout for the post office<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">$3.6 billion for election assistance<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition, the bill makes a major change to who is eligible for the next stimulus payment. Non-citizens and illegal immigrants who have a taxpayer identification number (TIN) will now be eligible for benefits. So with the national debt now larger than the entire economy, Democrats are pushing to give direct cash assistance to those illegally residing in the country.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Crazy\u2014and sad\u2014times we are living in.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are other wishlist items in the bill, but the aforementioned are the most alarming. The bill passed 208-199, with one Republican backing the bill and 14 Democrats voting against it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Luckily for America, the HEROES Act, which many view as a political stunt rather than a legitimate effort to help the American people, is dead on arrival in the Senate.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;I listened to what Speaker Pelosi told your conference\u2014to go big. Instead of going big, it seems you went crazy. This is a political messaging bill that has no chance at becoming law,&#8221; said House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConell has made it clear that he wants to pump the brakes on anymore massive spending bills for the time being.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">This week Speaker Pelosi published an 1,800-page catalog of left-wing oddities &amp; called it a coronavirus relief bill.
