    Unemployment benefits were in the last bill.

    are you referring to helping the states, which would include all effected

    any state that followed the Trump Federal Corono virus guidelines should be helped

    what's crazy is the blue States give billions more than they receive year after year... now that they need help, the red states turning their back on them?

    He lost your vote?
    You'd be the 1st tRUMP supporter to say so. He is a great democrat. That's what he was most of his life. And spending like Dems, but borrowing like R's. So he is a cross of both parties positions.

    It will pass if corps are not responsible for any deaths their company has if they open back up.

    agree, there is a danger of employees dying if they go back to work? and corporations would like to not be liable for unsafe working conditions and republicans want to give that to them

    that is another issue though on those on unemployment not wanting to go back to work, if they do get sick, will it be paid time off, if they are going to catch it, would be better to get while on unemployment

    NY gives billions more to the fed then they take in.... the problem is the red States that take more than they put in

    the States more red give more than they receive, all the others are takers, so you seem to have it backwards

    He lost nothing from me. I don't vote. I'm not a Trump supporter. I am a Trump defender. The difference is that I don't like him or his style. I like what does. I hate the vitriol with which the left attacks his every word. I defend him because he deserves a defense. I watch politics, comment on it and I'm entertained by it but I don't actually get involved with it. Voting has nothing at all to do with my vision of a better America.

    The state of NY has been in fin disaster before this CHinese virus. Folks were fleeing the high tax state and the state treasury was empty.

    red states aren’t having the problem

    You are conflating two different issues. The STATEs don't give more, the people in the States like NY and CA have massive amounts of rich people who pay tons of income tax. Those states are failing in their own budgets which give out the unemployment checks because the states over extended the union contracts. That's why the states like CA and NY and NJ need bailouts to cover the unemployment payments.

    BTW, the largest income inequality gaps are in left wing states like CA and NY.

    NY needs help because they had the worst number of cases due to mass transit and a much larger population, which is also why they give more then they get

    red states are the takers, they think there entitled to more, they basically need a bailout every year, yet they attack NY for not giving enough when they need some help

    same as if a State has a Hurricane, ect.... the fed should help them

    Trump is setting a bad precedent if he won't help states that are not his party

    you got to love Republicans, they tell us it is safe to go back to work, but want to protect employers from liability for people harmed or that die from going back to work in unsafe conditions - employees need mandatory hazzard pay

    that benefits the rich more than the working class if not capped at say 10k or something - stimulus for everyone would be better
