But instead of trying to look for solutions and getting the economy back on track, Democrats want Congress to pass the more than $3 trillion HEROES Act, which would keep the economy stalled and prevent kids from safely returning to school this fall. The Democrats' bill also contains a host of leftist dream projects, including blocking deportations of illegal immigrants, letting criminals out of prison, and granting banking perks to the cannabis industry.
To create jobs and get Americans safely back to work, the RECOVERY Act would expand Covid-19 testing, deliver meaningful tax relief to employers and employees, bring supply chains back to the United States, and eliminate burdensome regulations that hurt small businesses.
