So @SpeakerPelosi posted a huge bill at 11pm (here rules.house.gov/sites/democrat…) let’s dissect what @HouseDemocrats tried to pass as “Coronavirus relief”
paid sick leave mandate: all employers have to provide 7 days of regardless of size FOREVER. With added days IF COVID19 relates. Plus carve outs for missed work completely unrelated to the virus (e.g. domestic violence, etc).
- emergency unemployment funded through social security. This literally takes resources from seniors and could take a long time to enact. Im told R’s countered with disaster unemployment assistance under the Stafford act (like we do for natural disasters-$40B relief fund).
- mandatory OSHA emergency standards specifically for coronavirus. Besides being heavily burdensome for the small businesses who need RELEIF now, it wouldn’t be effective for the current situation. Making today’s victims pay for tomorrow’s preparation doesn’t fit the goal.
@TheDemocrats tried to take advantage of a crisis and get big time socialist policies pushed through.
