Senator Blackburn’s Top Concerns in the Omnibus and Relief Package

Contact Your Elected Officials

Here are some of Sen. Blackburnโ€™s serious concerns with provisions buried in the 5,593 page Omnibus and Relief Package:  

1. Unconscionable Spending

Spending $2.4 trillion of Americansโ€™ hard-earned tax dollars will make it even harder for our economy to recover    

2. New York Public Transportation  

Mass transit will receive over $4 billion for public transportation despite subway ridership plummeting more than 70%      

3. Endless Lawsuits for Businesses  

โ€ข The over 5,500 page bill didnโ€™t include any legal protections for businesses  

โ€ข This means that businesses bear the brunt of all lawsuits from employees and customers regarding reopening in a pandemic  

โ€ข Without protections, businesses burdened with lawsuits could be caught in a second pandemic    

4. Pell Grants for Prisoners  

โ€ข Prisoners enrolled in prison education program are now eligible for federal Pell Grants reserved for low-income students    

5. Illegal Immigrant Benefits  

โ€ข Households with illegal immigrants are now eligible to get paychecks for this round of relief and retroactively for the last round of relief  

โ€ข In the new bill, households will receive $600 for each adult and $1,200 for each adult from the first round    

6. Energy Market Interference  

โ€ข This bill imposes climate change initiatives that pick winners and losers in the energy sector through subsidies, mandates, and by doubling down on failed government-driven programs  

โ€ข The funding for โ€œEnergy Efficiency and Renewable Energyโ€ is allocated at $2.86 billionโ€”a $16 million increase from FY20 levels  

โ€ข The resulting research grants in wind energy, geothermal energy, and mineral production interfere with the energy market and are yet another example of frivolous spending in a time of need  

7. Irrelevant, Liberal Agenda-Driven Foreign Aid  

โ€ข $179,000,000 for renewable energy programs in Africa  

โ€ข $10,000,000 for gender programs in Pakistan  

โ€ข $50,000,000 for higher education programs in Malawi and Egypt
