Trump administration pushing block new money for testing, tracing and CDC in upcoming coronavirus relief bill

The Trump administration is trying block billions of dollars for states conduct testing and contact tracing in the upcoming coronavirus relief bill, people involved in the talks said Saturday.

The administration is also trying block billions of dollars that GOP senators want to allocate for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and billions more for the Pentagon and State Department to address the pandemic at home and abroad, the people said.

The administration’s posture has angered some GOP senators, the officials said, and some lawmakers are trying to push back and ensure that the money stays in the bill. The officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity to reveal confidential deliberations, cautioned that the talks were fluid and the numbers were in flux.

The negotiations center around a bill Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) is preparing to unveil this coming week as part of negotiations with Democrats on what will likely be the last major coronavirus relief bill before the November election.

    Quoting lindoboy100:
    Well, that's why the US is doing so badly, the numbers would fall if the testing wasn't so good. And he's #1 of flakebook ya know!

    Actually, the Reps will suffer for this for decades, sadly though, few if any will actually be imprisoned for their criminal actions.

    Hope you're well Rick.
Thanks for your great comment. You are so right about everything you said. The US is in such a bad place. I hope you are right. That the Reps will suffer for decades for bringing the US to such a low place in the world.
