A group of conservative senators is sounding the alarm about a potentially fatal error in the Senate’s $2 trillion coronavirus relief bill.
Sens. Rick Scott (R-FL), Ben Sasse (R-NE), and Lindsey Graham (R-SC) claim there’s a significant drafting error that encourages employers to lay off employees during the coronavirus pandemic.

They say “there’s a strong incentive for employees to be laid off instead of going to work.” They say error could prevent Senate from fast-tracking bill: pic.twitter.com/m91XD8TZPX

The DEMON-RATS will do all they can to destroy the best of President TRUMP.
I dare say they are in cahoots with china as they were in cahoots,( COLLUSION for those who do not understand), with the russians and ukrainians.
American Citizens are not going to tolerate this much longer.
Get the mother F****N bill passed immediately you do nothing dolts who obviously don’t give a rats ass about the American people and sadly it shows. If this isn’t a national emergency, someone with half a brain explain to the American people just what constitutes a national emergency. Cash talks, BULLS**T walks! And make these payments TAX FREE to all recipients and not a ‘loan’ silent speak for it’s got to be repaid in the form of a tax in the future as ‘ordinary income’. The banks, insurance companies and the auto industry got their tax free bail out in 2008, it’s about time for middle class America to get a break, and a much needed one at that. Get this done now!
I believe the same thing. The dema collided with China but it got out of control.
EVERY WORD OF THIS MUST BE READ AND UNDERSTOOD.. the democraps are laying landmines everywhere trying to screw this deal up in their favor. NO MORE SIGN THEN READ BULLCRAP FROM THE COMMUNISTS.
Democrats care more about getting re-elected than they do about the people the are supposed to represent
I sincerely hope you are right! It will take a massive effort by We the People to be vigilant at any and all voting booths and places to watch and stop any and all fraudulent means by the anti-American democrats and their tools for it the bought out biased medias propaganda LIES! Do Not take for granted that President Trump will be re-elected! Even car pooling people to vote for President Trump! Do Not be lazy and stupid Americans or you will loose big time!
