Bas*****.......It’s not like the people can’t see through them. But for all the Dem Senators to go along with the “plan”...is disgusting.

The novel coronavirus pandemic is spreading around the globe and in the United States, reaching some 3,500 cases domestically and nearly 500 deaths.

499 US deaths were recorded this morning, but total cases were about 41,000, not 3500. Yesterday was 33,000.

Math-challenged reporters slip a decimal point?

Let people suffer as the Dem cure will certainly be worse than the illness.

I am of the mind that a majority of Americans will finally see what the Dems are all about and take their righteous anger out upon them in November...............

You got that straight!!! This is BS. You let these bass turds get a taste of totalitarian control and they will never let it go.

Here in NJ we have comes to learn that Governor Joker is counting anyone who receives a test as having the virus, without awaiting the results.

They have us, now they will never let us go.

Do we even need a bill? Can Trump order the Treasury to provide direct relief?

Did the House authorize the Bush stimulus? Is an advance on tax refunds technically not spending of tax revenue? Treasury is under the Exec Branch.

Jim, therein lies the problem.

The government has shut down business.

If not now, when? We only needed one more big event like this one to push us completely into dictatorship. Time for America to rethink this idea of the “safety net”.
