Cassidy addressed the issues he has with the $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief package that the Senate passed earlier this month. He asserted that there is too much money going towards goals that are not really about pandemic relief.

“The money that is there for education will be spent in the out years,” the senator explained. “That’s not related to COVID. If everybody is vaccinated by June then it’s clearly not related to COVID.”

Cassidy also said that while he and other Republicans support stimulus payments “for people who needed it,” the Democrats’ bill does much more than that. He noted that stimulus checks are going to people including inmates who do not stimulate the economy and who are already supported by taxpayers.

“That’s the sort of thing that should not be included,” he said.
