The president and leader of the GOP wanted to give cruise lines, who are NOT paying federal taxes and fly foreign flags to dodge US taxes a giant bailout but give US cities some help? Hell no!

Literally no one is asking for the fed government to pay for those pensions, this is a GOP talking point.

They are asking for help due to hundreds of millions lost in tax revenue.

They aren't paying for pensions. They are paying for a massive lack of tax revenue due to COVID.

Funny I never hear the argument from red states "We don't want your federal money for all the poor, sick, disabled, in our state!" considering CA and NY pay WAY WAY more out than they get back in federal money
