$58 Billion For Pension Plans

$54 Billion To Raise The Minimum Wage To $15 Per Hour

$34 Billion To Expand Obama Care Subsidies

$16 Billion Increase Medicaid Rates To Match Those Who Expanded For Obamacare.

$9 Billion For Medicaid Coverage For Prisoners

The Committee Also Said State An Local Government Doesn't Need $350 Billion, $100 Billion Would Suffice. Same With Schools, Where They Asserted $70 Billion Would Be Enough.

The Committee Said That The Democrat Bill “Would Spend Too Much And Would Poorly Target Most Of Its Spending Relative To Actual Needs.”
