It’s been apparent for quite a while that the new legislation Democrats call a “Covid relief bill” is the porkiest of pork-a-paloozas to come out of Congress in history. Also it might not surprise you that Nancy Pelosi’s hometown is reportedly getting bailed out big time:
Trisha Thadani ~ New: The federal stimulus package will erase the majority of San Francisco’s projected $650 million budget deficit over the next two years, saving City Hall from having to make painful service cuts and layoffs. For now.

Unreal.
Joe Tundra Walker ~ Isn't Pelosi from San Francisco?
Probably just a coincidence.
Oh, totally.
AG ~ We just bailed out a bunch of failing entities with taxpayer dollars without making them make any changes to address the reasons they were failing in the first place. All while pretending it was a Covid relief bill.
Pundit Review ~ Great Moments in #NancyPelosi Pork.
Real Developments ~ The real reason for Pelosi’s big stimulus bill. SF was in big trouble. Massive budget hole.
No consequences for bad decisions.
Shane Rider ~ Example #2414 that the "COVID relief" bill was just another Democrat wish list.
Never let a tragedy go to waste.
Keith Hartwig ~ And you wonder why no republican voted for it.
Aaron Harper ~ They took your money and bailed out a failing Democrat city ...
And not just cities. Sen. Chuck Schumer is thrilled about what the bill — ostensibly disguised as a Covid relief measure — will do for his entire state:

Just like that politicians in New York won’t have to face the consequences of their own horrendous decisions:
The $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief package passed by the US Senate wipes out New York State’s projected budget deficit — possibly negating the need for hefty tax hikes or spending cuts, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s office said Monday.
“Ok. Thanks to @SenSchumer NYS budget deficit for this year is ... Zero, nada, niete, zilch (NY terms),” Schumer spokesman Angelo Roefaro tweeted.
P-E-Z ~ Which had nothing to do with Covid.
canyoureadthist ~ Now the NYS deficits are eliminated they will work on trying to get them back as soon as possible.
No Strings On Me ~ They spit in your face and laugh.
James Jay Carafano ~ Reminder this was always about politics and power not COVID relief.
Emperor Daddy ~ Btw these idiots passed a bill that bails out nyc and California being in debt. Look at that. Nancy got what she wanted.
Stephen L. Miller ~ Pelosi has promised two more.
The essential American soul is hard, isolate, stoic, and a killer. It has never yet melted. ~ D.H. Lawrence
