wait......for......it.....
holding up the Coronavirus bill over policy differences.
Irony is dead.
Republicans secured a $500 billion slush fund for corporations with NO worker protections and barely any oversight.
And now they're holding up the bill because the unemployment insurance is too generous.

Corporations can work out debts with their creditors or use Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code.

—Making unemployment insurance universal
—Expanding Medicaid
—Helping hospitals buy masks, ICUs & ventilators
Folks, this isn't complicated.
As a former secretary of labor, I can tell you that we shouldn't be talking about stimulating the economy or going back to work.
We should be talking about shutting down the economy and keeping people home, with enough money so they can pay their bills.
