    1. @chris speer Obama didn’t pass laws that helped his son in law with his real estate business. Obama didn’t try to host climate summits at his own golf course. Obama didn’t have a freaking hotel in New York that foreign diplomats paid exorbitant prices to stay at in order to curry favor. Obama didn’t hold campaign events at properties that he owned. When Obama went golfing the government wasn’t paying him for the expenditure, unlike Trump who is paying himself with tax-payer money to go golfing at his own resorts.

      This is just the tip of the iceberg… This delusion is ridiculous.

    2. @H. A. L. unbelievable is rt what are your sources for this info msn CNN the Washington post cmbc let me guess the New York times Iam not buying what your selling I voted for trump last time and I will vote for him this time and after looking at the Circus that the Democrats got going on now I cannot see how any body can be considered viable there

    3. If McConnell doesn’t pass, I’m sure some restaurant worker will go cough in his face b/c you know, he loves to eat out at restaurants.

    1. Interesting the majority of the testing is taking place in privately owned medical facilities and labs that are working in tandem with the government. But, yeah, making it all public rather than private is sure to work out better.

  1. THE GOVERNMENT JUST GAVE BANKS 1.5 TRILLION OUT OF THIN AIR. HOW WE GONNA PAY FOR IT??? MEDICARE FOR ALL NEEDS TO BE LAW👌

    1. EMV
      we each could have gotten $666,666.00 from that $1.5 trillion!

      instead, that is our share of the debt from just thursday alone.

    1. @Branzone they all know how stressful this is, many are speaking locally, your state reps, governors etc should have hotlines by now

    2. @thewanderandhiscomp , right. I was/am hoping the popular ones would be all over the news stations, like they were when they were trying to get him impeached.

    1. @Kent Horvath You are missing the point. Dems and Reps have the same economic policies. If we battle each other we won’t battle the problem. That’s their plan.

    1. 1000 ppl died before Obama called a national emergency in 2009 during SARS. 12,000 Americans died from SARS after that. Are you guys sure Trump admistration is the worst?

    2. @zkg03mjmk Well, I mean, did you think the wall was to stop “wind”…that seems rather naive of you. But yeah, those unsecured borders really seem to be working out for the leftist liberals..thanks for open flood gates bringing with it sick and undocumented people who are roaming among you with unchecked medical problems that could have been screened out as the law and the legal means of entering this and EVERY single other 1st world nation allows. But yeah, you lunatics go on with your bad selves, lol. In the end you lose regardless, because you do not care about a strong independent country that a person can make it in.

    3. @Clay Henderson I refer to the news that Trump’s wall fell down because of weather. If a wall is so fragile, how could it do anything to protect the boarder? Apparently you live in an alternative world that neglects all the failings of trump.

    4. @J Napier where do you get this ridiculous number? out of your broken brain? The total death worldly of SARS is less than 900

    1. @Another Random Person hey, you have to give him time to spend calling his donors and Vladimir to see what they want. Its not his fault they are on a different time zone.

  2. Oh let’s laugh at Andrew Yang, get him out of the primary, and copy his ideas. At least mention Andrew and thank him and MLK for this, instead of saying it’s your idea.

    1. @Arcus Puffious I agree , we have bailed out big Corp .too many times and they were smug .we should. Come first

    2. His idea was endless basic income, this will be short-term only because it’s not the end of the world.

    3. Yang is a TURNCOAT!! He used social ideas to get him in, then Endorsed the ESTABLISHMENT!! HYPOCRITE!

    4. No Yang wanted to give every American 1000 per month to help Americans. This is about bailing out the economy so rich corprate elitist don’t lose everything. This is not about caring for the working class citizens.

  3. Tulsi Gabbard started pushing for emergency UBI days ago and Andrew Yang championed for it during his presidential run!!! Give credit where credit is due!!!!!!!

    1. This is nothing about what yang wanted to do. Yang did not require a flailing economy to help the working class citizens.

    2. @Steven I more or less meant that he brought the discussion to the mainstream, if that makes sense ✌️

  4. Corporate America will always get the bill out. Average hard working will likely see nothing regardless how much they lost or are suffering. This is what’s wrong with America.

    1. And you are probably one of those college shenanigans who having big fun in those spring break parties. You might be a potential another case of the coronavirus.

  5. What does your Senate actually do?
    They never seem to want pass bills that help you guys. They prefer to bailout big cooperations but to get you guys paid sick leave in the midst of a Pandemic is too much?

    1. @Nik110512 You are right, it is something people work for and earn, so that they can have something to fall back on when things go south and other people who do not wish to put in the effort in life sit around and complain and cry about how they have nothing and the government needs to take care of them. So you are right, just like the working mans paycheck, his can, his house, his children’s college…it is not a handout, it is something you work to have, not get for free. Because then, it would be a handout.

    2. @Stonehedge The “Money Infusion” was not from the government, those people are called “investors”. they are people who have common sense, do not pay head to your slave masters media, and have confidence in the fact that the markets will bounce back. But it is cute to see people like you, ill prepared and skilless, crying about hard work because you have never had to do it, and you are worried your mom and dads check will stop coming one day and you will have to put effort into life. But don’t worry, I hear them LA streets got lots of room for another socialist and your free labor Utopian dream.

    3. @Woolworth Motorsports Ford ranger well since the virus is still around and we are pouring funds into propping up business instead of combating such virus, This means people STILL won’t be spending their money. Just like the trillion injected into the stock market did nothing. Literally flushing money down the toilet. Think. The government says stay home. Business fail. pure a bunch of money into those business. Are people going to start spending . No. it will fall flat again. This think could go one into next year. Some counties have martial law where you can’t even be out streets. No one;s getting out to work or spend. Doesn’t matter how much tax dollars are spend on it.

    4. Ame List #wwg1wga #Qanon google is your friend right now. Uncensored and open for all the masses to see.

  6. The Economy is not going to “slowdown”, it’s going to shutdown. Every American will need assistance and reprieve, soon.

    1. @Rick Ammon You are willing to have open borders at a time where other countries are enforcing stricter rules on immigration, not just America. Germany, Italy, Spain etc… have all started building a figurative or literal wall to protect their people.

    2. @Rick Ammon I couldn’t agree more. The airlines want a $50 BILLION bailout already. That money belongs to US citizens, not Airline CEOs.

  7. Bailing out the airlines would be Socialism… (funny how republicans don’t mind when it helps their stocks)
    Lets leave the airlines closed and build high speed rail.

  8. “HOW WILL YOU PAY FOR THAT” – funny how the elites can get millions whenever they want, but cant pay 1 cent for healthcare

    1. What do you think would happen to low and middle income families if businesses dont get help from the government? They would close and then millions of low income Americans would be left without jobs….if you dont know what your talking about please reframe from trying to sound like you do.

    2. @Houston Astros Trash Can I’m sorry, but it’s a valid point. There is always a cry of “how are we going to pay for that” whenever a proposal to spend money is put forward, except when it comes to business getting a handout. Yes, it may be necessary, but the point is that it is not examined with the same scrutiny and is given a free pass. If a political party is going to ask how one measure will be funded, it should do the same for all measures.

    3. Travel companies of any sort should pay huge taxes for the risk they put us through 😡 and safety measures in place

    4. @Houston Astros Trash Can As soon as you talk about having jobs, you lose 99% of the liberal socialist reading this…its like holy water to a vampire, they aint having that sht.

    5. Houston Astros Trash Can Those low and middle income families will collect unemployment. The mismanaged companies that have 1 bad quarter and immediately fail will go bankrupt.

      This is how it needs to be otherwise you start designating industries as “too big to fail” and you will forever be held hostage by those industries any time there is a national crisis.

  9. you can count on them spending big to bail out corporate america, the rest of us are completely screwed!

  10. The wasted 1.5 trillion bailout could have been used to buy ventilators, paid sick leave, test kits etc

    1. Those have to be made first. They’ve already passed motion to push for factories to be made to make what’s needed and big businesses have been doing good providing services and goods. This bailout prevent us from being left with only American Airlines and United once the pandemic dissipated.

    2. Hello Bello they are trying to get more ventilators. You are correct. But the problem is much deeper. We have been struggling with hospital staff shortages for years. You can add more ventilators but you need trained staff to operate them. They are complicated machines.

      Also there is a very real problem with our logistics in healthcare. The vast majority of our drugs and equipment is made in other countries. Poor countries that are about to be hit hard. Harder than us. We’re dependent on foreign systems that are going to be absolutely hammered. And we’re not the only nation desperate for vents. Every nation is.

      Our hospitals run at full or nearly full capacity. That’s how they make money. That’s how they stay in business. Our system was never meant to be stressed in the way that it will be. It’s possibly going to collapse into chaos and heartbreak.

    3. What do you think would happen to low and middle income families if businesses dont get help from the government? They would close and then millions of low income Americans would be left without jobs….if you dont know what your talking about please reframe from trying to sound like you do.

    4. @Houston Astros Trash Can if you don’t know what you’re talking about you should refrain from commenting. The bailout I am referring to is the recent bailout to the market which resulted in a dead cat bounce and gains lost overnight. No benefit to businesses nor their workers.

    5. T. Henderson agreed. I just don’t think the bailout mentioned by op would answer much of what that individual mentioned.

  11. $1,000 😂Doesn’t even pay my monthly rent, but I wouldn’t mind the help, anything at this point could help the situation.

    1. William Johnson my area where I live the average apt rent is $1,000-$2,000 I pay $1,600 that’s rent including water and this are old apts that been renovated, nothing too fancy. The nices one starts at $2,000

    2. @William Johnson just wondering, where do you live? I live in CO, and 1000 wouldn’t touch my rent (nothing fancy)

  12. The REAL “DEEP STATE” being the right wing corporate interests and lobbyists to whom the GOP kowtow.

    1. @Rancho El Bush Resorts Hey troll I am a strong believer in the divine CREATOR and I am educated enough to understand science. Stop your lies. Look at your own self worshipping an orange buffoon.
