dim doubles down on claim virus outbreak is an opportunity to advance dim agenda

House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn (D-S.C.) doubled down on his claim that the coronavirus outbreak is an opportunity to advance the Democratic Party's agenda.
In an interview with Roll Call, Clyburn said the COVID-19 crisis specifically presents Democrats with the opportunity to push their educational and health care policies.
"I find it kind of interesting that one of my colleagues said he has a problem with me because I'm a 'restructure government' person," Clyburn said. "Yes, Jim Clyburn is a restructuring government guy and everybody with any common sense, and looking at where we are today, needs to be a restructuring government person."
Last month, as Democrats attempted to cram a wish list of unrelated demands into the COVID-19 economic relief bill, Clyburn told Democratic colleagues that the crisis was "a tremendous opportunity to restructure things to fit our vision."
Clyburn took a more prominent role in Democrat's COVID-19 response this week after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi tapped the South Carolina lawmaker to chair a new select committee that will oversee the government's coronavirus spending.
"The panel will root out waste, fraud and abuse; it will protect against price-gouging, profiteering and political favoritism," Pelosi said. "The fact is, we do need transparency and accountability."

downvote away, but didn't trump tweet a few days ago that now is a great time to pass an infrastructure bill? How is that not the same thing?

You seriously think that rebuilding our infrastructure is the same thing as this?

Democrats wanted stipulations that if a business took stimulus money you had to create a highly paid wasted position of CHEIF DIVERSITY OFFICER so all those dumbasses that wasted time and money getting a woman’s study or African American study degrees have something to aim for in life.

Won't downvote in vain. If you cannot discern the difference not much to say.

It is. It's a perfect opportunity to discredit Trump, disrupt his Admin AND move forward the transformation of the USA.

Trump said that because interest rates are so low we could get things done that need to get done as cheap as we will ever get it done Infrastructure is not a republican agenda. Thats how it is not the same thing.

Trump may or may not have been pumping Republican agenda or just pushing at objective that he sees as crucial to getting the economy back on track after the virus recession. Promoting a jobs bill that could be bi-partisan because it will be a lot of pork anyway is not the same as just seeing a crisis and using it as leverage for your social agenda.

...because if we are considering stimulus, infrastructure spending is the absolute best way to do it given that it’s money we need to spend anyway?
