Democrats love money pits!

A massive coronavirus relief bill that Democrats plan to pass on a party-line vote includes millions of dollars for a taxpayer-funded nonprofit group with a scandal-ridden history.
NeighborWorks America, an organization chartered by Congress that acts as a sort of Red Cross for homeowners, will receive $100 million through 2025 as part of the nearly $2 trillion emergency spending package, according to a draft released Friday by the House Budget Committee.
But the nonprofit has a track-record of management shortcomings, including sweetheart contracts, document fudging and sudden departures of top officials. According to a 2015 report from Bloomberg News, executives at NeighborWorks awarded at least two large jobs to insiders without bidding — even though under federal rules, recipients of government funds must put jobs worth more than $25,000 up for competition, or justify why they didn't do so.

On page 95, there is a provision that would authorize the government to pay 85% of the cost that laid-off individuals would otherwise incur (through this September) to continue their health insurance plans through COBRA payments, such named after the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act. The financial cost of this subsidy would be $7.8 billion, according to the Congressional Budget Office.
On the face of it, that might appear to be an expenditure plainly directed at combating the pandemic.
But another aspect of this provision would not protect human life; it would take it.
Republican Rep. Jackie Walorski of Indiana offered an amendment in the House Ways and Means Committee that would have applied the Hyde Amendment to these COBRA subsidies and, thus, prevented this money from being used to fund most abortions.
“The Hyde Amendment has been in place for nearly half a century with bipartisan agreement, saving the lives of more than 2 million innocent babies and protecting Americans’ conscience rights,” Walorski told her colleagues on the committee.
“My amendment will preserve this important pro-life safeguard by adding longstanding Hyde protections to this subtitle,” she said. “This will make clear that a taxpayer-subsidized COBRA plan won’t be used to pay for elective abortions. It would also give issuers the chance to instead provide COBRA-eligible plan options that comply with the Hyde Amendment.”
Every Republican on the committee voted for this amendment. Every Democrat voted against it. Because the Democrats control the majority, the amendment failed. The bill will not prohibit COBRA subsidies from funding abortions.
