Not serious help for depression era crisis. The minimum should be $600/week for all employed /unemployed Americans earning under $75k per person. It should last until 12/31/20 . Extend it in 2021 if the resulting unemployment rate doesn’t reduce to below 7% BackToWorkBonus

you should simply add $13/hr to essential workers as well .

How about provide more opportunities to work instead? How about find a fix for the problem instead just keep throwing money at it

No effing way! How can Dipstick Don steal the money from such a simple helpful plan? Will never pass unless Dipstick can steal part of the money!

GOP undeterred by criticism over Biden probes and plans aggressive election-year pushPresident Donald Trump's loyalists in the administration and on Capitol Hill have opened up an all-out assault against the Obama administration and former Vice President Joe Biden, using committee investigations and declassified documents to try to paint the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee in an unflattering light. Does anyone really believe that is not about politics? Why are they investigating this now? Do not lie to us like the President. And that is not Hoax? And MSM will support the Dem point of view...

GOP governor in North Dakota gives emotional plea against 'mask shaming'North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum issues an emotional plea for residents of his state to avoid 'ideological or political' divides on the choice to wear face masks amid the coronavirus pandemic. Mask shaming are you kidding me! If people don't want to wear a mask just stay the hell away! The problem is, if they have a 5 year old with cancer at home, they need other people to wear masks, not themselves. Masks keep you from spreading germs out, not from stopping others germs. This message doesn't actually help. This is the right thing to say. People wear masks to keep themselves safe, but others as well.
