Amazingly people who are most impacted are the biggest supporters of these Senators.

Republican senators on Wednesday teamed up to kill an amendment introduced by Democratic Sen. Patty Murray that would have expanded paid sick leave to millions of U.S. workers left out of a bipartisan coronavirus relief package.

You can't force a company to pay its employees an additional benefit.

But can be bailed out with taxpayers' money? Given loans - taxpayers' money again -they dont have to pay back?

Many small businesses would go under, they just dont have the capital.

just how is the federal government going to force a small business/ or even the larger companies that may go under during this issue pay an employee PAID sick leave …??


for example: if a small steakhouse... or even a small chain of steak houses..are forced to close their doors for this confinement time, and they are not getting shipments, and then they cant make their lease payment, do you really think they will be able to pay a laid-off employee/cut hours employee, PAID sick leave???


do you really think its the FEDERAL governments job to force businesses to do this??


so should the federal government dictate this towards state employees.... my thinking is severe government over-reach, and unconstitutional




why do the liberals continue to want to expand the power of the federal government... do they really want a totalitarian country??

Yes, how horrible, some senators understand the concept of private property. I am willing to bet the OP has never owned a business with employees and had to meet a payroll.

I disagree with both parties. The government shouldn't be involved at all. It should be up to each business how much paid sick leave they want to give their employees. The government needs to back the hell off and stay out of it.
