From her Democracy Now interview on corporate socialism:
"I could not bring myself to ultimately support this bill, because I
believe that people will soon see the extraordinary asymmetrical
assistance that went to corporations. We’re not just talking about half a
trillion dollars that went to Wall Street, as I mentioned in my
remarks. That is being leveraged to $4 trillion for Wall Street and
corporations. And what we’re seeing in payroll protection for small
businesses is just a drop in the bucket compared to that.
"But, ultimately, what this administration did was hold every hospital
hostage, hold every frontline worker hostage. And it is not an easy
decision whatsoever for any member. But, ultimately, I think that people
will soon see the betrayal that was in this bill, that was pushed
forward by the administration and by Mitch McConnell. It is completely —
it is completely unethical and inhumane, what has been done. And we
talk about the oversight of this bill. It is far too little. It is far
too flimsy. And what we have essentially done was give Steven Mnuchin a
blank check to pick and choose who this administration will reward with
$4 trillion."
