Pass the paid family leave act, expand Obamacare to every state, extend paid sick leave, expand unemployment benefits, up the money for disability payments, do something about debt deferments.

Trump thinks no one can add, but it's clear has not really trying to help the working class families or at risk seniors.

buy up more TP and turn around and sell it at a premium, gouged price. I'm glad I bought some before all this.

Which refers to FICA. A cut to that is just another attack on Social Security and Medicare.

I dont know if he actually can screw with it, but it sounds like a "foot in the door" approach to try and defund SS, Medicare, etc.

And apparently no questions allowed🤯 No real medical information, no info about testing. They are giving us a piece of paper, prolly with things we already know and some misinformation I am sure, but not to worry they will be helping the industries hit by this.
