This is what your little darling Pelosi who cares ever so much about the working man and woman insisted be included in the bill before her posse of pissants in the House would v**e for it. These were forced on the Senate as a "compromise." They have nothing at all to do with C****a V***s, economic relief or medical aid. So much for your wonderful, t***hful Democraps.
The Senate version of the bill to help a nation coping with unprecedented turmoil due to the c****av***s includes $25 million to renovate the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C., as part of a massive infusion of taxpayer cash into arts funding.
The House bill crafted by Speaker Nancy Pelosi initially sought $35 million for the center.
The funding would provide “deep cleaning, increased teleworking capabilities, and operating and administrative expenses to ensure the Center will resume normal operations immediately upon reopening, according to a summary of the bill.
The money for the Kennedy Center compares favorably with that allocated to the Armed Forces Retirement Homes in Washington, D.C., and Gulfport, Mississippi, which will receive $2.8 million for “increased healthcare, security, and food services personnel expenses, as well as necessary supplies and equipment.”
The Kennedy Center was not the only arts item to be funded in a bill aimed at relief for taxpayers and businesses.
The National Endowment for the Arts will pocket $75 million for “grants, including funding to state arts agencies and other partners in an effort to help local, state, and regional communities provide continued access to cultural organizations and institutions of learning.”
Another $75 million for will go to the National Endowment for the Humanities.
Those numbers are down from the original House bill that sought $300 million each for the two endowments, Fox News reported.
The $150 million the two groups will split tops the $100 million set aside for medical emergency management for veterans. The funding supports “the Veterans Health Administration’s 24-hour emergency management coordination, including overtime, travel, t***sportation of materials, and training.”
Other winners in the Senate bill include the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which would receive $75 million for “stabilization grants to maintain programming services and to preserve small and rural public telecommunication stations.”
That far outstrips the funding for the Distance Learning, Telemedicine and Broadband Program, which will get $25 million “for the DLT grant program, which supports rural communities’ access to telecommunications-enabled information, audio, and video equipment, as well as related advanced technologies for students, teachers, and medical professionals.”
Tell me more about the heartless Republicans and warm and generous (with other people's money) Democraps. What sort of asswipes would withhold medical aid from US citizens until they get their druthers on pork barrel projects? Perhaps if the money for performing arts was withheld from medical aid for Pelosi's district she would have a change of heart? Nah, never happen. We won't be that lucky.
