On my radio show earlier in the week, Sen. Mitt Romney of Utah indicated that he was not impressed with the Democrats $1.9 trillion so-called COVID relief bill, calling it packed with wasteful and unnecessary spending. To make his point abundantly clear, he penned an op/ed in the Wall Street Journal labeling the proposal a clunker that doesn t meet the needs Democrats claim it does. It would waste hundreds of billions of dollars, do nothing meaningful to get kids back to school, and enact policies that work against job creation, Romney writes. The Congressional Budget Office’s recent analysis of the plan found that more than a third of the proposed funding $700 billion wouldn’t be spent until 2022 or later, undermining the administration’s claim that the massive price tag is justified for urgent pandemic-related needs.
