But Congress has the power to prevent it — if it acts quickly.
The global pandemic brought on by Covid-19 has already claimed over 125,000 lives in America with over 2.6 million confirmed cases. Infection rates are now surging in 36 states. As a result of the economic disruption, more than 40 million Americans have filed for unemployment claims and economists estimate that up to 42% of lost jobs aren't coming back. Millions are increasingly desperate.
How many people have you feed Mr Yang It's not the government responsibility 2 things the government is for Protect the citizens of America Infrastructure There are plenty of food banks Churches hand out money Food Clothes
Wow so Yang doesn’t want Americans to work to put food on the table, wtf , is in what little brains these left leaning idiots and CNN have to talk about, they have to be rallying their base because real people with a brain don’t even turn to that propaganda channel on
tRump and McConnell stole all our tax dollars. tRump obviously owes Putin Billions. McConnell might too. MCConnell is a thief like all Republicans. They condone it or steal tax money themselves. Republicans have been tearing this country down for decades. Take drugs eat GMOs.🖕U
Of course Yang has no idea where this money is coming from because this country is already trillions in debt. Any plan for that?
Yup! That’s Yang trying to empty the mint!! It’s not about nickles and dimes buddy, it’s about peace and quiet ! If everybody just takes a break from all the bullshit going on , then maybe we could continue rebuilding American values!! Try it!! It really works!!!
No what we need is accurate, unbiased information. We've been told contradictory reports. Yall lied about hydroxychloroquine. Tests are producing false positives. I still dont know a single person who has had covid-19, nor does anyone I know. What happened to the flu numbers.
Isn’t yang ...anti-American
If a small country like Ireland can look after their citizens I'm at a loss to understand how The so called richest country in the world has people queuing at food banks. This president and his cronies are looking after themselves and their buddy's while people go hungry
They either go out for food on the table or they go out for some protest they pretend they care about, but just use to get around Covid restrictions. Either way, Americans are not staying indoors.
But a lot of Americans would still use that money just to go out...
So capitalist Yang is telling America to become socialist? This man is a hypocrite. We’ve seen time and again UBI does not work well even in Europe.
Titi ou dina
They have no trouble giving trillions to multibillionaires, multinational corporations but the people who pay the taxes from which that money comes? Bupkes.
It’s called UnemploymentInsurance for a reason.
I don’t care about yang or the left
خامنه ای و طرفدارانش از خودشون مادرجنده تر خودشون هستند.اونها پسر پروردگار یکتا رو زندانی کردن مادرکونیا که به اهداف شوم خودشون برسند.گول هیچکس رو نخورید دروغگو هستند.این کشور رو خامنه ای و روحانی و رییسی های مادرجنده اداره میکنند.من از همه کشورهای اروپایی و امریکایی کمک میخوام.
Nooo just let people work, MORONS
Oh they're going to give just enough for us to die of starvation. Fully 15% of the workforce make more in a week than the most powerful man on the planet figures we can live on for good. Make that $1200 stretch. 😡😠
Instead of giving the UN $10 billion of our taxpayer dollars, they should give it back to us!
THAT'S ANDREW YANG'S PROBLEM, HE LOOKS LIKES PRESIDENT OF THE CHESS CLUB NOT THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.... HE MEANS WELL THOUGH....
It has worked well in “other” countries. Which exactly? I don’t see a lot of “SMART” or “MATH” in a man who runs on this risky tough to defend slogan. Then you top it off with socialism. Good luck bro. If your not making enemies you enticing everyone like the devil does...tricky
Yes, news outlets often like CNN for example are the very entities brainwashing Americans if they hear socialism the next thing associated with it must be bad. Thankfully, MUCH of this is dying off with baby boomers. Millennial and Gen Z not buying the red scare lie.
AndrewYang unAmerican and socialist.
How many Americans are struggling out their and is it going to be possible in the way Andrew is proposing?
They only Americas struggling are the ones that JUST DON’T want to better themselves. That is why so many still want to come here. They see that but your party can’t.
America is broken maybe it always was. Americans don't care about their fellow Americans but only their pay checks.
Весь кэшь ушел на восстановление улиц после вандализма левых демократов...у них и спрашивайте...
How again will that be anything more than welfare? Yang’s one note idea is pretty lame
You can’t give us enough to cover the economic damage, it would be so many trillions we’d collapse under debt or hyper inflation. These people want to destroy the nation.
There is no money, Yang. There is no point in what we are doing to prevent this virus. Majority of people have been wearing masks in public and guess what? The numbers are still going up.
What America needs is for Govs to open their States. Then we will know how many cases are out there & they can be treated. Keeping lock down only slows treatment & piecemeals out cases. Makes constant crisis.
He would
If this Yang fellow had his way, he would bankrupt America by distributing free cash. Morons like these are why Democratic Party is a failure.
AndrewYang
AndrewYang The U.S. Treasury for the first time is buying JUNK BONDS Michael Milken revisited, Oh, he's consulting Mnuchin This will end very very badly
AndrewYang 💯 motherfucking YangGang there's about to be raiding parties organized on the rich SOON if we don't implement major socialized changes as people get desperate to survive
AndrewYang That's right. Where is all that PPP money going anyway. It doesn't seem to be bring down UE. Businesses should not mean more than people.
scottsantens AndrewYang Finally someone that makes fcking sense on this hurling rock In space. YangGang
AndrewYang And that's why he's not gonna be president
AndrewYang It would be nice to do both. My local coffee shop went out of business, for no other reason than they stayed closed when they were asked to without any financial assistance offered to them.
AndrewYang When families spend money, it goes to companies. It gives the family the power to vote with their dollars. I like that better than politicians deciding which companies get the dollars.
AndrewYang AndrewYang is who we need right NOW!
AndrewYang Sounds very socialistic to me.
AndrewYang
AndrewYang How about wearing masks,, social distancing? it's not about money it's about common sense heath care.
AndrewYang Looks like 4.8 MILLION people figured out how to funnel their own money into their families by getting a JOB.
AndrewYang Andres Ying Yang
AndrewYang Canada is doing just that and it's working. They hardly have any daily cases now....like 64 total yesterday
AndrewYang Idiots From the companies, it'll now get to the family
AndrewYang Then Russia
AndrewYang Thats just stupid
AndrewYang Black lives matter money goes to white politicians!
AndrewYang We should defund the police and direct funds to families
AndrewYang Sure, the Democrats should renounce their offices, donate all their property to the RNC and exile themselves to China, that is a lovely idea.
AndrewYang The irony! You guys should look at where black lives matter donations go!
AndrewYang It’s a shame that the DNC was his biggest opposition.
AndrewYang Still not a word about the murderous thug who’s funding the killing of Americans. I know we’ve all become accustomed to Trump’s desecrations. But this should never stop being a disgrace and reason for his removal.
