How does a payroll tax break help someone who is staying home sick?

Any estimated costs on eliminating roll taxes for the year?

With no income coming in, that National debt will balloon in size, no?

Does Trump realize he has been running the country the last 3 years? Why hasn’t this been fixed in the last 3 years if it was an issue?

Coronavirus: Senate Republicans block emergency sick leave bill as outbreak spreads across US

I agree with the Republicans on this that it should be federally funded. The situation has been federally bungled so they need to fix the mess that's been made. Adding extra expenses to small businesses when productivity and business is potentially declining is a recipe for disaster.

Trump administration blocks states from using Medicaid to respond to coronavirus crisis

Despite mounting pleas from California and other states, the Trump administration isn’t allowing states to use Medicaid more freely to respond to the coronavirus crisis by expanding medical services.

In previous emergencies, including the 9/11 terrorist attacks, Hurricane Katrina and the H1N1 flu outbreak, both Republican and Democratic administrations loosened Medicaid rules to empower states to meet surging needs

FACT CHECK: Trump's Accusations About The Obama Administration And Swine Flu

Trump has on numerous occasions accused the Obama administration of implementing a rule change that complicated testing. However, no such rule was ever put in place, according to FactCheck.org.

According to a CDC estimate, there were more than 60 million swine flu cases reported in the U.S. between April 2009 — when the disease was first detected in California — and April 2010, with more than 12,000 people dying.

The agency said the first case was reported on April 15, 2009, and the government declared H1N1 a public health emergency on the April 26. The first test to detect the new virus was approved by the FDA two days later.

I was listening to that live as I was driving home.
As soon as I heard the question I knew he was going to say "I don't accept responsibilty" and at the same time I knew you'd post about his response.

Haha. Luv ya, bro!
