On network news tonight sources had this coming end of April. Two weeks apparently not within federal government’s capability.

To spend where? They are shutting everything down and shelves look like Venezuela.

Exactly.

I can’t stand looking at Mnuchin or even his name.

Interesting. I am by no means a CPA, but have worked as a bookkeeper for many years. I always understood the term “payroll taxes” to describe the taxes the employER has to pay as a cost of having an employee. That would be social security, medicare, federal unemployment tax and state unemployment tax. But I guess from the employee perspective federal (and state) income taxes would be considered payroll taxes.
