As millions lose jobs, health care, and homes, House Democrats have moved from helping Donald Trump give large corporations $4 trillion to now asking the really important questions: How can we prevent workers from getting too much subsistence income, and how can we then rescue the real victims in this crisis — the corporate lobbyists that run Washington?

This week, Axios reported that House Democrats are working on legislation to “ensure that people aren’t ‘double-dipping’ into the different pots of money” — for instance, “they do not want someone who is receiving more unemployment money to also receive money through the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP).”

At the same time, Democratic lawmakers are pushing new bills that would let corporate lobbying organizations and dark money groups in Washington grab some of that dwindling PPP money for themselves before the cash gets to more mom-and-pop businesses teetering on the brink of bankruptcy. Moreover, the legislation would knowingly help some politically connected industries effectively double-dip on giant bailouts for themselves.
