Or, "You can keep your dr. ----! Or, "Your insurance will save the average family $2500 per year!" (OR WHAT EVER THAT MYTHICAL FIGURE WAS.) Or, "Those jobs will never come back to America!"
And those are just what I can quickly recall, no telling how many more li - er - a Mis-leading statements he made!!:Devilish:Devilish:Devilish
i

Joe Biden ought to be on his knees praying and thanking God for this situation, as it diverts media and us from watching his daily mental decline!

One of Trump's plans to add resources to fight the pandemic was announced on March 13, 2020.

Trump declares national emergency, frees up $50B to fight virus
Trump said the move would free up $50 billion in additional funding and waive requirements to speed up coronavirus testing and care.


Speaking from the Rose Garden, Mr. Trump said, “I am officially declaring a national emergency.” He said it would free up as much as $50 billion for state and local governments to respond to the outbreak.

Mr. Trump said he was giving Secretary of Health and Human Services Alex Azar emergency authorities to waive federal regulations and laws to give doctors and hospitals “flexibility” in treating patients.

He also announced a new public-private partnership to expand coronavirus testing capabilities, as his administration has come under fire for being too slow in making the test available.

Trump declares national emergency, frees up $50B to fight virus
$50 B compared to $2.2 T? Peanuts.

You do know that was all he could free up as President, as takes act of Congress to pass the spending Bill for it to become Law?
Do not, repeat, DO NOT, attempt to insert facts into a liberal's arguments!! You will find yourself responsible for some unstable actions by a liberal to whom facts - when not acceptable to said liberal - mean squat!!
Again, beware!!!

Then why wasn't more money for funding our medical response to the Coronavirus put in the stimulation bill that was just passed and signed?
McConnell is heeding Trump's demands. Why didn't he recommend an increase? Instead we have a HUGE bailout of corporations that
used the tax cut money to buy-back stock or increase dividends rather than for capital equipment purchases and increasing pay?

They put in provisions to stop stock bybacks though, and can go up to 6 trillion if need be for aid and support , and you do understand that if the economy tanks due to this Virus, the Virus will be least of our concerns?

Thanks for pointing that out. I missed it.
Congress Approves Economic Relief Plan for Individuals and Businesses

Additionally, this includes $25 billion in lending for airlines, $4 billion in lending for air cargo firms, and $17 billion in lending for firms deemed critical to U.S. national security. Firms taking loans must not engage in stock buybacks for the duration of the loan plus one year and must retain at least 90 percent of its employment level as of March 24, 2020. Loans also come with terms limiting employee compensation and severance pay for firms taking loans. Emergency lending will be overseen by a Congressional Oversight Commission and a Special Inspector General.

They put those in to make sure companies did not just shed payroll and buyback stocks when really low now in order to resell later on!
