The $1.9 trillion bill that passed the U.S. Senate on a party-line vote over the weekend and is poised to pass the U.S. House of Representatives calls itself a COVID-19 relief package. In reality, much of the legislation is actually focused on taxpayer bailouts of favored left-wing interest groups. Big Labor and its bankrupt multiemployer pensions, teachers unions, blue-state mayors and statehouses, along with the usual hit parade of pork projects.

The Democrats have two more bites at the budget reconciliation apple. That makes these bailouts possible without having to rely on a single Republican vote. There’s every reason to believe that the U.S. Postal Service is next on the bailout list.
