GOP LAWMAKERS ASK BIDEN WHY TRILLIONS IN COVID STIMULUS SOMEHOW HAVEN’T PAID FOR
COVID TESTING KITS

Republican lawmakers are asking President Joe Biden why COVID-19 tests are not
yet widely available in the United States — despite trillions in COVID-19
stimulus.

Rep. Jason Smith (R-MO), Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA), and Rep. Kevin
Brady (R-TX) — who serve as Republican leaders for multiple key committees —
observed in a letter to President Biden that Health and Human Services Secretary
Xavier Becerra has said there are $10 billion in unspent funds for COVID-19
tests.





“Who made the decision to not exhaust these funds prior to the holiday season?”
they asked the commander-in-chief. “Will the remaining funds be used for the
federal response, or will some be disbursed to states?”

They asked the Biden administration to explain its rejection of an October
proposal that would have added more than 730 million at-home COVID tests to the
market per month. “Who was authorized to make this decision? Why were more
proactive measures not taken to prepare for future variants, given the spread of
the Delta variant over the summer?”

Additionally, the lawmakers noted that only 9% of Biden’s $1.9 trillion American
Rescue Plan’s spending allocations “actually went to public health spending to
fight the virus,” while the rest went to bailing out state governments and other
social programs. They detailed the wasteful use of these funds — including New
York spending $2.1 billion for “direct checks to illegal immigrants,” Michigan
giving $3,200 stimulus checks to prison inmates, and Chicago spending $31
million on a guaranteed income program.



“American taxpayers deserve an honest and detailed accounting of where the $6
trillion in COVID-19 relief passed by Congress has been spent and how much
remains,” the lawmakers wrote. “Your Administration has misused taxpayer dollars
to spend on items unrelated to COVID-19 and repurposed funds for the southern
border crisis of your own creation.”

“The American people deserve transparency and answers to these important
questions from their government before being asked to further foot the bill for
another attempt by your White House to spend hundreds of billions or even
trillions more in the name of ‘combatting COVID-19.’ A permanent pandemic
narrative cannot be used by your office to avoid this responsibility,” they
continued.

Indeed, the Biden administration has faced immense pressure over its apparent
failure to make COVID-19 testing kits widely available. On Monday, Fox News
correspondent Peter Doocy asked White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki why
President Joe Biden’s administration has been so “unprepared” for the uptick in
demand for COVID-19 testing.



“I heard the president say, ‘Google COVID tests near me.’ So, as somebody
isolating with COVID, I did that, and the appointments everywhere were
completely jammed. So, why is it you guys were so unprepared for the need for
testing after the holidays?” Doocy asked.

“Well, Peter, I’m happy to see you back and well,” Psaki replied. “I would
second say that there has been a massive surge in cases — as you know and were a
part of — in D.C. and New York. And there has been an unprecedented — and in
other parts of the country as well — there’s been unprecedented demand for
tests.”

“So what we have done over the course of the last few weeks, and even before
that, is the president quadrupled our testing capacity since the summer,” Psaki
continued. “We opened 20,000 sites across the country and we’ve also opened
additional federal sites, including one in D.C. only recently.”



Doocy pressed further: “At the rate you guys are going, these tests are not
going to be available until spring. So will you admit that these free tests you
guys promised are not going to be ready until after the Omicron surge?”


Psaki responded that tests would be available “very soon.”
