Biden’s $1.9T plan?
It puts the biggest money into “blue” states and schools that won’t open rather than into the pockets of those suffering. And for the first time it actually designates funds by race.

Meanwhile, the package Biden & Co. are antsy to rush through is largely geared to appeasing their party’s left. In addition to $1,400-per-person checks, many to people who don’t really need it, and a $400-a-week unemployment bonus that will weaken the incentive to return to work, the plan includes:
$350 billion to bail out blue states.
$130 billion to schools, even if they remain closed (a gift to teachers’ unions that have blocked reopenings).
$35 billion to public and historically black colleges.
$190 billion in (potentially unconstitutional) funds for minority-owned small businesses.The plan also contains several measures wholly unrelated to the pandemic, such as a $15-an-hour nationwide minimum wage and paid parental leave that will clobber struggling businesses.
