While multiple Republicans told POLITICO they would oppose withholding federal funds, other groups are signaling resistance, too. LeadingAge, the national association representing nonprofit aging services providers, said it’s strongly encouraging vaccine mandates, but would oppose enforcement tactics that could take away federal funding.
But some Democrats and other experts believe the move holds the potential to boost national vaccination rates, arguing that the federal government has the power and discretion to spend federal dollars and to set conditions for receiving funding. Hutchinson, the chair of the National Governors Association, said he’s skeptical of federal efforts that would include financial penalties.
Oh, it’s some industry groups too that object to the cost and silliness of policing vaccine mandates? Trust me, Biden only thinks he’s gotten to “yes” on mandates. They won’t even do what he hopes they will do from a scientific standpoint anymore.
A perfect example of putting up a strawman to shoot down, except this is what passes for journalism at Politico. 🤦♂️
OH NO, not GOP and 'some industry!'
Why do republicans hate America and trying to shut us down again?
Who cares? He should do it
Yeah, until it applies to Federal workers and contractors. The biggest hogs at the trough of the Federal government are these corporations; good luck with that fight. No vaccine, no contract; Biden wins!
Hypocrites seems to be the title of most Republican politicians and leaders of big businesses — everyone wants to defeat the virus but with these people the dollar means more than lives — so they want it both ways — defeat the virus without doing anything
Irony is truly dead, isn't it? Gov. Abbott withholding pay? Death-Santis withholding pay?
But it is fine for Republicans to hold funding back for mask wearing and public health.
I’ll tell you exactly why this works for the Dem Party as opposed to the Rep Party. Dems and pro vaccine advocates want children and humanity to stay healthy so that the economy can thrive. Republicans and anti-VAX seem to want a death wish for people, for ❤️ of power & control.
Sooooooo they don’t like the identical tactics being used by the governors of TX and FL for mask in schools!?
How could they be upset? Isn’t it a page out of the DeSantis playbook?
i wouldn't expect the side that perpetually has its hands up my slit to give two shits if they give me covid. hell, they'll demand a 'thank you' and be mad when i resist
Withholding nothing that’s DeSantis The man that buys his suit formally at Sears husky section,Mandate the vaccine and let the rest stay home
