James Lankford: 拜登的COVID法案并非真正为了应对疫情，而是为了满足政治目的（超过特朗普的支出），其中包含大量未使用的COVID救济资金，新增的拨款是浪费；政府在疫苗拨款上的支出缺乏透明度和必要性；法案中包含了与疫情无关的内容，例如增加福利支出，这将导致人们更加依赖政府；首次使用联邦资金资助堕胎；H.R. 1法案实际上是压制选民的投票权，将联邦资金用于竞选活动，这是不可接受的，将对选举制度造成重大改变；拜登政府提名缺乏胜任能力，例如提名贝塞拉担任卫生和公众服务部部长；最新的刺激计划没有对资金的使用进行限制，唯一限制是州和地方政府不能降低税收，这影响了一些地方政府的计划；应该增加对非营利组织的税收抵免，以鼓励人们向其捐款，非营利组织比政府更有效地帮助弱势群体，政府应该关注如何帮助人们摆脱援助，而不是仅仅关注有多少人在接受援助；应该废除夏令时，因为它已经过时了，而且对人们的生活没有好处。 Sam Stone: 对美国政治两极分化和媒体报道偏见的担忧。 Chuck Warren: 对美国政治两极分化和媒体报道偏见的担忧，对政府资金使用效率的质疑。
