For Pay checks the employees will not get if they can’t work because they will be sick from Coronavirus. Because most small businesses don’t provide paid sick leave for their employees. Just doesn’t make sense.

Why don't the Airline and cruise industry just pull themselves by their bootstrap instead of getting our tax money? Isn't that what they tell us regular folks to do?

Take care of Americans - No foreign aid.

How about cutting interest on mortgages, auto loans, personal loans, credit cards to 0% for 6 months and zero federal taxes for individuals making under $250, 000 for the year? It's a start.

No more corporate bail-outs! Let the free market determine winners and losers. Fossil fuels are simply too costly.

Trump should resign and just jump into the path of great sharks.

"The stock market is looking pretty good to me right now" Trump, 10 days ago. Its dropped 4000 points since then LOL. I can see why he went bankrupt all those times.

Here it is we are talking about a payroll tax and not more test kits.. here in the US, we do not even know the actual number of people that has the Corona virus. I would love to know what pharmaceutical company that are supplying the test kits, , and what lawmakers has stock in that pharmaceutical company..

Payroll tax cut will change this country. more investing from the middle class and a bump up for the lower.

[ms.rlsteele]

These are good ideas but NOT from the Medicare $$. Trump just can't wait to defund that program that is what we all pay into and deserve to have full access to. What would I do without Disability income? I can't work, I really can't.

Tax accountants might be out of work though.
