House Democrats Pass Socialist Wish List

House Democrats Pass Socialist Wish List

The following was published by the House Committee on Education and Labor on May 15, 2020. It is reproduced in full below.

Republican Leader of the Education and Labor Committee, Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-NC), issued the following statement today after House Democrats passed H.R. 6800, a $3 trillion socialist wish list crafted behind closed doors:

“House Democrats and Speaker Pelosi are using this global health pandemic to appease the extreme left instead of putting the American people first. They are truly living up to their own words: ‘never let a crisis go to waste’ and it is shameful.

“Blindly throwing money at this pandemic to pursue partisan pipe dreams that have nothing to do with combating COVID-19 is not the answer. It’s not even logical.

“This sham bill Democrats manufactured behind closed doors will never be signed into law. We can do better. Every day Americans are stepping up for one another. Let’s follow their lead and work on passing serious legislation that will help reopen our economy and get Americans back to work."
