格拉斯利上周五在参议院财政委员会官网上发表特稿，题为《不要利用大流行病来制定自由派细目清单》。
这位来自艾奥瓦州（也译爱荷华州）的资深参议员指出，在他作为该委员会主席最后一次主持听证会时，拜登提名的财政部长人选珍妮特·耶伦（Janet Yellen）告诉议员们，必须采取大的行动来恢复被中共病毒所摧毁的经济。
格拉斯利指出，在拜登就职典礼前一天举行的这场确认听证会上，耶伦努力为拜登的1.9万亿美元的所谓救济法案进行辩解，并透露了拜登政府未来4年的计划：以大政府接管美国经济，包括取消川普的减税措施、对小企业施加强制性命令、重建国家的医疗保健系统和能源基础设施等。
格拉斯利在文中警告拜登政府：不要本末倒置。
他指出，利用中共肺炎来掩饰自由派政策议程，这在双方席位差距不大的众议院和参议院不会有太大进展。他直言其中一些条款是激进主义者的政治梦想，并举例说明了一些具体措施的不可行性。
拜登的政治议程在竞选期间就饱受美国选民质疑，2020年美国总统大选之所以比以往任何一届大选都更受关注，是因为在美国人看来，这将是决定未来美国发展方向的选举，他们严重质疑拜登政府将把美国引向社会主义之路。
负责共和党参议员竞选连任工作的佛罗里达州参议员里克·斯科特（Rick Scott）表示，拜登的提案将“把1.9万亿美元的纳税人资金中的太多钱花在与冠状病毒无关的自由派优先事项上”。
参议院共和党党鞭、南达科他州参议员约翰•图恩（John Thune）上周五也对记者们表示，共和党人根本不会投票支持“在这个价格范围内”的方案。

On Friday (Jan. 22), Senate Finance Committee Ranking Republican Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) warned incoming President Joe Biden not to use the epidemic to advance his liberal agenda in his new Communist Party virus bailout bill, which seeks to take over the U.S. economy with big government.
Grassley published a feature article on the Senate Finance Committee's official website on Friday, titled "Don't Use the Pandemic to Develop a Liberal Line Item List".
The senior senator from Iowa (also translated as Iowa) noted that during his last hearing as chairman of the committee, Biden's nominee for Treasury secretary, Janet Yellen, told lawmakers that big action must be taken to restore an economy devastated by the Chinese Communist virus.
Grassley noted that during this confirmation hearing, held the day before Biden's inauguration, Yellen worked to justify Biden's $1.9 trillion so-called relief bill and revealed the Biden administration's plan for the next four years: a big government takeover of the U.S. economy, including eliminating Trump's tax cuts, imposing mandates on small businesses and rebuilding the nation's health care system and energy infrastructure.
In the article, Grassley warns the Biden administration: Don't put the cart before the horse.
He noted that using CPC pneumonia to disguise a liberal policy agenda would not go over well in the House and Senate, where there is not much of a seat gap between the two sides. He bluntly stated that some of these provisions are the political dreams of radicals and gave examples of the unworkability of some specific measures.
Biden's political agenda was questioned by American voters during the campaign. The 2020 U.S. presidential election is more closely watched than any previous election because it will be the election that determines the future direction of the United States in the eyes of Americans, who have serious doubts that the Biden administration will lead the United States down the path of socialism.
Sen. Rick Scott of Florida, who is in charge of the Republican senator's re-election campaign, said Biden's proposal would "spend too much of the $1.9 trillion in taxpayer money on liberal priorities that have nothing to do with the coronavirus.
Senate Republican Whip John Thune, R-South Dakota, also told reporters on Friday that Republicans simply would not vote for a proposal "in this price range.
