If they have lost wages that they can document, I'm fine with that so long as I'm not paying for it.
Reduce gov't spending to pay for it. The average federal worker makes $128,000, has a cadillac healthcare plan and a cushy pension. They wont miss the 2 cents...trust me.
Ah, no they don't. But please provide the article you got your info from....thanks.
They just won’t pay them at all. There is no reason to believe giant corporations will suddenly start treating workers better.
I think there are too many companies that have had already said they would in fact pay their furloughed and sick employees (even before Congress passed the bill) that the backlash is gonna be big if they do not. I know Marriott is facing the heat with those that canceled reservations today after WrestleMania was canceled and many canceled hotel plans because of it. They are facing losing hundreds on the deal. Many cruise lines and airlines are not giving refunds despite the virus...

They might if you include their benefit packages and retirement. The company I worked for liked to do that when telling us how great we had it.
The question begs does the average Federal employee get paid more than a private sector employee with comparable responsibility and skills? (Counting the benefit package).
Keeping in mind federal employees produce nothing. Zilch, nada. They only cost us money. That isn't to say that many or most don't provide a valued service, but there is a ton of redundancy built it. So is the priority to justify their own existence over doing something of worth.
I'd like to have a map of all the elite top 1% of the 1%'s bug out bunkers( which get used for other activities) as well as the government's underground bases. I'll bet there's a massive stockpile under Denver Airport for example.
And while we'r eon the subject of conspiracies, why are low oil prices supposedly bad for the economy all of a sudden? The economic boom of the early 90s came about for two reasons. One was record low oil prices after the Gulf War. Second was the early internet technology boom. What helped derail it were higher oil prices and China being given favored nation trade status.
And why is gold trading lower? That runs counter to traditional market wisdom.
Okay, since you don't care, we'll take it from the bottom 50% who are paying zero federal income taxes.
Problem solved.
I'm done carrying 1/2 of the American population. If they are Seniors on social security, or are truly unable to work, or orphans, or baby's of crack addicts, fine, but that isn't 165 million Americans.
Its time for the freeloaders to be flushed out into the open, and make them pay taxes too. No more free rides.
Wage earners do not have the ability to pass taxes to everyone else in the form of goods and services they sell. Nor can they write them off.
Where is the money going to come from? Choose an option below:
A) Borrow it. We're Trillions in debt already. What's another Trillion...is that your take? Not me.
B) Cut 2% from every gov't department across the board to pay for it? Its called "The Penny Plan" I'm for this.
C) Increase taxes to pay for it? Well since ~1/2 dont pay ANY federal income taxes, that means only the ~1/2 that do pay federal income taxes will have to shoulder the entire load when they're already paying 97% of the tax burden. I say no.
It can be deducted from the welfare our government throws at Israel, the European nations, and African countries. Problem solved.
I know Romney is a RINO, but stealing Yang's gig is just going too far.
What a hack he turned out to be. Now I'm even more glad he and Lyin Ryan didn't win. The Burger Bros. can suck it!
Romney would have been a great president. What's wrong with brainstorming? $1000, is not going to break the piggy bank that trump has broken into. We need a break, about now. If and when your check comes, send it back, or send it to a family that has been struggling, even before this nightmare started.
