Pelosi was on the House floor today claiming she wanted more money for direct payments, but suggested what people are getting is ‘significant’ as she took credit for the pandemic aid bill:

The Daily Caller had a great response to this video:

Exactly. She is the reason why the bill is only getting settled right now, just a few days before Christmas. She wouldn’t agree to anything whatsoever until the election was over, because she was using it try and defeat Trump. And only after the election was she truly ready to negotiate.
Remember how she berated Wolf Blitzer for daring to hold her accountable for holding up the bill?
Here’s a breakdown of where the $900 billion is slated to go in this bill:
Coronavirus relief deal:
PPP loans –> $284 billion
Direct payments –> $166 billion
Unemployment insurance –> $120 billion
Schools –> $82 billion
Vaccines –> $30 billion
Testing –> $22 billion
Small business grants –> $20 billion
Live event venues –> $15 billion

I may not have Dr. Jill Biden’s Education PhD, but that doesn’t add up to $900 billion. It’s $739 billion. Where is the other $161 billion or so going in this pandemic aid bill? Is it going to bail out Democrat states or someone’s pork projects that Democrats demanded? Seems to me that money could have been added to the $166 billion to substantially increase direct payments. Or to the unemployment insurance, etc.
If the MSM were worth anything at all, it wouldn’t have just been Wolf Blitzer trying to hold Pelosi’s feet to the fire in October. Especially after her ‘let them eat cake’ hair salon appointment earlier this year.
