U.S. Republicans underscored the need for tax cuts and business liability protections in any new coronavirus legislation on Tuesday, while preventing Democrats from requiring transparency for a $650 billion-plus program for struggling small businesses.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, while underscoring his demand that any new bill protect businesses from coronavirus-related lawsuits, told reporters that Republicans are working on a “narrowly crafted” measure that would not protect companies guilty of “gross negligence.” The Democratic-led House of Representatives remained in recess this week to avoid possible health risks posed by the novel coronavirus. House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer told reporters on Tuesday that he would not call the House back until another coronavirus relief bill is ready, possibly next week.

“How are you going to see how the programs are working if they don’t reveal where the money is going, if they’re not transparent?” Schumer said.

We should not spend anymore taxpayer money on rich people who are unable to run their million dollar businesses properly.

GOP is the swamp and deep state all rolled into one big billionaire treason.

federalreserve nytimes Wake up people. The Feds print currency in the form of bonds that the American taxpayer(s) pay back in future years. Stop this madness 🤦🏽‍♂️ This system is about to fail hugely!

Remove all income tax. Bring sales tax. Period.

Liability limits are a must or there won’t be an economy

If they can't kill off SSI & other social programs via law, they will do it via tax cuts. Every dime that is cut from taxes will directly affect the national debt. It will not lower it - it will continue to increase it until there is no more credit left w/out drastic budget cuts.

Such blatant pieces of shit. Vile human beings.

Republicans always looking out for the corporations and to hell with the people.

Let me cut this right? We have a pandemic on which means the state has to dig really deep into its pocket whilst seeing little income so you then decide you want to implement tax cuts?

NoBailouts unless $$ directly in the hands of USA citizens

So, then...basically, Republicans are saying, 'I'll give you a nickel today if you'll agree to let me screw you indefinitely.'
