The $1.9 trillion coronavirus rescue package proposed by House Democrats would increase the cost of living for many and would kill jobs, the leading Republican on the House Budget Committee says.

“Democrats are rushing to pass a nearly $2 trillion spending bill that will enact bailouts for state governments that lock down their citizens and radical policies that will destroy jobs and raise the cost of living for working-class Americans,” Rep. Jason Smith (R-Mo.) said in a statement to Fox News.
