Defense Production Act immediately.

Federal Government Funding


Priority

1. Money to individuals

2. Money to governments

3. Corporate bailouts

9

Federal Government Funding


• Corporate funding should not be a gift at

• n from the 2008 bailouts.• Citizens should benefit from corporate success.

10

Federal Funding

• This should not be usual “sausage making of pork

barrel”

• Political process:

• “Everyone gets some money”

• Every Senator wants same as every other Senator

• Every Congress member wants money for their

district

• That should not be the governing philosophy here.

• The best process:

• “Money follows need”

11

My Argument

• New York State

• California

• Washington

• Follow the number of cases


12

Message to my Congressional Delegation


• New York received no funding from first federal

Coronavirus bill

• New York has the greatest need

• Political custom – Don’t pressure people of

your own party

• Baloney

• This is no time for politics

I fight for all New Yorkers
