Republicans block coronavirus aid

Where is your concern about being unAmerican and wanting people dead now?

Swift Senate action on a mammoth $2 trillion rescue package hit a speed bump Wednesday amid opposition from a small group of GOP senators, throwing up a last-minute hurdle as congressional leaders rush to finalize the bipartisan deal.

Senate leaders were hoping to vote Wednesday afternoon on the legislation, which will deliver much-needed emergency aid to nearly every sector across the U.S., including $1,200 checks to many Americans. But that timeline continued to slip as the day dragged into the evening with Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), Tim Scott (R-S.C.), Ben Sasse (R-Neb.) and Rick Scott (R-Fla.) opposing speedy consideration of the measure over concerns it would encourage employees to be laid off instead of working.

They are right, employers would rather the government pay their workers and would lay off the most non productive people. Many companies would rather lay off people than keep them on the payroll. Its a micro management issue. But what can they do? It's the government that makes thing hard.
