How will that help companies that go out of business? I mean, even if he were to have done this right of the gate, the shutdown was going to ruin quite a few businesses. That means people out of work, which logically means hardships for the middle class.

Was it politically motivated...sure. But it is also a calculated response concerning the direction of the economy imho.

Oh yeah, one last thing...frick the Dems.

#1 people have to go back to work, now so open things back for those that can not work from home. Encourage all precautions that can be reasonably taken, to be taken.

#2 cut payroll tax on both sides, employer and employee.

#3 if you absolutely feel you must give some form of assistance, this should have been strictly a two bill stimulus with single issues in each.

#1 give however much you deem necessary directly to people in the form of a Tax credit and have it be an advance on 2020, like they are but single issue only

#2 pass what you deem necessary for sba assistance

Not the bullshite that was passed. Doing something for the sake of doing something is worse than doing nothing.

This isn't happening (unfortunately) so it is a non-starter.

Ok

I agree, but only someone removed from reality would see that these wouldn't pass...you know - with opposition from the Democrats.

Ok...but that term is undefined. Just sayin.
