DuclosJeanMarc1 OMG!! CLOWNS to the right:(

And doing nothing wouldn't put an undue burden on small businesses? If this isn't controlled, people aren't helped, those businesses won't survive either!

Hey here is an idea, tax millionaires and billionaires to pay for it.

WH and GOP only fought to shield corporations from the mandate. They are no friend to small businesses.

How screwed is the black market economy

Nobody worry about that could be that there are no more employees after covi-19

Real conundrum. On the one hand if people employed by small businesses stop getting paid, how are they going to survive ? On the other hand if businesses keep paying salaries while no orders are coming in and there is no sale, how will they survive ? Tough decision. 😓

Janettesecond realDonaldTrump just put trillions of dollars into the stock market, they should be able to help these small businesses take care of their staff also. senatemajldr SpeakerPelosi, seriously how much has Trump put in the market, time to take care of citizens.

let's talk about what is included in 'small employers' -

Everyone loves a good state handout.

Republicans gave 2 trillion to the rich but can't take care of anyone else! Time for them to go!!!

The republican most vote no on this bill. The dems want Americans to suffer and small businesses to go out of business. There is other ways to pay for sick leave. Maybe straight from the government and not from the small businesses pockets.
