After all the work @SpeakerPelosi #MadamSpeaker this is what McConnell wants.

McConnell Corporate Slush Fund:
· McConnell’s bill includes a $500,000,000,000.00 corporate slash fund for CEOs and the ultra rich — while leaving workers, families and children out to dry.
McConnell’s bill has weak stock buyback language that can be waived by the Treasury Secretary; executive compensation limits only last for two years; language on worker retention is weak and includes easy outs for companies;
there are no assurances in the language that workers will benefit. The bill provides little transparency of the lending done by Treasury (amount and to whom?).
There are no specific provisions to protect from individuals from eviction, foreclosure or forbearance.

Other Major Problems:
No money for state and local governments.
· No additional SNAP funds.
· No OSHA language to protect workers.
· No expanded emergency leave provisions.
Only 3 months on Unemployment Insurance – this is an insufficient length given the scope of the crisis.
· Direct Payments are not available to the millions of people who did not file a return in 2018 or 2019.
No money to help with the treatment of the uninsured.
· The bill does not provide adequate relief for the 44 million federal student loan borrowers.
This is how the Republicans behave towards to the people during this crisis.
