Warren bill would divert $10B in Trump border wall funds to fight coronavirus |
2020-02-29 |
[WASHINGTONEXAMINER] Sen. Elizabeth Being Native American has been part of my story since the day I was bornWarren ...Dem Senatrix from Massachussetts, who traces her noble lineage all the way back to Big Chief Spouting Bull. It has been alleged that she speaks with forked tongue but she denies that. She had a DNA test to prove her lineage and it turns out she's colorless... proposed diverting billions of dollars of funding for President Trump's border wall to government efforts to respond to the coronavirus. She's flailing Warren, a Massachusetts Democrat, introduced the Prioritizing Pandemic Prevention Act on Thursday to require that approximately $10 billion be redirected from fence projects along the U.S.-Mexico border to the Department of Health and Human Services and U.S. Agency for International Development to make up for the money Congress will spend preparing for and responding to the virus. "The coronavirus outbreak poses serious health, diplomatic, and economic threats to the United States, and we must be prepared to confront it head-on," Warren said in a statement. "Rather than use taxpayer dollars to pay for a monument to hate and division, my bill will help ensure that the federal government has the resources it needs to adequately respond to this emergency." The loss of $10 billion would wipe out more than half of the White House's wall coffers, which sit at $18 billion ‐ pending Trump getting the $2 billion requested from Congress in fiscal 2021 and taking $3.8 billion from defense counternarcotic funding, as planned.

#19 U.S. Agency for International Development Now if that doesn't sound like a congressional slush fund I don't know what does. Trump should transfer it to DSHS which, in turn, use it to build a wall as a defense against the virus coming over from Mexico... |

#18 While I think we should treat plagues as national defense issues, I don't believe this is her motivation. She has earned the right to be disbelieved by default. |

#15 Turn coronavirus loose in a Third World shit hole like Mexico and then open the border. Right. As if tuberculosis, fentanyl and methamphetamine aren't bad enough. Hopefully after Tuesday it will be crystal clear to Fauxcahontas and her misguided contributors that she cannot win and we shall have heard the last of her. |

#14 And by "fighting Coronavirus" no doubt she means "funding transgender midnight basketball." |

#6 Would be fun to see anti-US response to a B-2 strike on Wuhan. |

#5 The money would arrive 2 years after the media panic dies. Given it probably took Chinese biowar lab 7-15 years to create coronavirus, we have late money chasing later problem. |

#4 In case there might have been any lingering questions why Soetoro picked this fellow as his running mate and VP. |
