we should refuse to reopen the country until those fuckers are gone. We're already shut down. What if we refused to go back to work unless they all resign? At least -45 and Mr. Pants.

It's a thought.

It may have been Jimmy Kimmel who called him that in a monologue a while back. I thought it worth repeating.

Kind of like an empty shirt but the VP is an empty pair of pants! Regardless, I appreciate the laugh.

Nancy, Chuck, not another fucking dime into the system until we have a meaningful watchdog in place.

Eg:
School loan repayment/forgiveness

Direct living payments to every individual (we are talking small amounts of money here on the individual scale, large sums in total. Nickle and diming to keep the upper 5% from getting any, and the lower 25+ % from getting as much is a waste of time and money. Let the upper5% make charitable donations with it if they have a conscious).

Full speed ahead for cash to families, Block monies to corporations until oversight is in place. Let the CEOs pressure Donny to do the right thing. Enough of this shit already!

The leftover money will go to cruise ships none of which are flagged in the US so none pay taxes, of course money will go to the airline industry, and big money will go to the fossil fuel industry which is already being subsidized.

The money that was supposed to go to the airlines had a deadline of yesterday (4/7) and clearly the funds are late. SOMEONE stop these thieves, these are taxpayer $$$$$$$$

20. Demand that Medicare for All is in the bill
Wed Apr 8, 2020, 12:10 PM
Apr 2020

Democrats should insist that the next bailout/stimulus bill includes the following:
Medicare for All, modeled after the Sen. Sanders legislation, to be effective now.

A Federal jobs program such as the WPA, with a minimum of $45k salaries, open to everyone that needs a job. And a new Federal minimum wage of $ 22 per hour.

Withdraw the case at the US Supreme Court that is trying to kill ACA/Obamacare,
and require all states to expand Medicaid immediately.

A guaranteed income of $2000 per month for the next 12 months to all adult Americans and residents ( similar to the Andrew Yang policy.)
Expanded food stamp program.

Debt forgiveness for educational and other debt.
Remove the ceiling on the Social Security payroll tax.

Eliminate the requirements on the USPS to fund their pension plan for 75 years into the future.
Permit the USPS to offer banking services.

Add a requirement: any corporation that receives federal bailout funds must have all top executives reduce their salary and all other compensation to zero dollars, with no deferred compensation or golden parachutes. And a freeze on *any* lay-offs or terminations.
And place rank-and-file workers on the executive board to include 51% of the voting power.

Federal minimum of $60k for school teachers and nurses, with federal subsidies to insure it.

A federal rent control program, with rent increases limited to the official cost of living increases (typically 2 percent per year.).
An independent overseer, appointed by Rep. Nancy Pelosi, to watch how Trump and Mnuchin dole out the money to corporations.

Have I forgotten anything? Please add your items.

But the only one among us who was for that, just lost the primary.
