    Joe Biden ought to be on his knees praying and thanking God for this situation, as it diverts media and us from watching his daily mental decline!

    You said Trump's plan did NOTHING to fight the pandemic. I point out he committed $50 billion two weeks ago and you say it was "peanuts".

    Could you move the goalposts any further?

    Yet more "Orange Man Bad!" hysterics. The Communist Chinese regime and Dems would both pay for this sort of posting, and no doubt do.

    Do not, repeat, DO NOT, attempt to insert facts into a liberal's arguments!! You will find yourself responsible for some unstable actions by a liberal to whom facts - when not acceptable to said liberal - mean squat!!
    Again, beware!!!

    Then why wasn't more money for funding our medical response to the Coronavirus put in the stimulation bill that was just passed and signed?
    McConnell is heeding Trump's demands. Why didn't he recommend an increase? Instead we have a HUGE bailout of corporations that
    used the tax cut money to buy-back stock or increase dividends rather than for capital equipment purchases and increasing pay?

    They put in provisions to stop stock bybacks though, and can go up to 6 trillion if need be for aid and support , and you do understand that if the economy tanks due to this Virus, the Virus will be least of our concerns?

    Thanks for pointing that out. I missed it.
    Congress Approves Economic Relief Plan for Individuals and Businesses
    $454 billion in emergency lending to businesses, states, and cities through the U.S. Treasury’s Exchange Stabilization Fund. Additionally, this includes $25 billion in lending for airlines, $4 billion in lending for air cargo firms, and $17 billion in lending for firms deemed critical to U.S. national security. Firms taking loans must not engage in stock buybacks for the duration of the loan plus one year and must retain at least 90 percent of its employment level as of March 24, 2020. Loans also come with terms limiting employee compensation and severance pay for firms taking loans. Emergency lending will be overseen by a Congressional Oversight Commission and a Special Inspector General.

    They put those in to make sure companies did not just shed payroll and buyback stocks when really low now in order to resell later on!
