I am afraid the Federal Gov can not and should not bail out every failing State or City that has been poorly managed. Everyone agrees that a temp patch is required. The disagreement is length and amount. You can disagree on policy but doing so does not make the other person "evil", or "wanting everyone to die", etc. Most of the population is ready and able to safely go back to work with normal safe guards. I personally never stopped, in fact only increased my hrs due to demand and opportunities sought. However 50% of the Civilian Gov workforce had no work remote capabilities so they are on extended paid leave. Contractors are screwed. As they are paid when onsite and working. No onsite no cash flow.... Along with all the mom and pop services that supported that same work force. My idiot Gov closed all the State Parks and roadside stops. So now you get to park on the shoulder and walk in....Where is the logic of that ruling?

I agree. Republican's concerns on spending too much relief money and not getting enough results is valid. I am hearing that some people are not willing to go back to work because they are getting $500~$600 per week with unemployment benefits, which is more than what they would get going back to work.

Democrats also has a valid point. Stimulate the spending and jump start the economy, while we still have one.

It's both sides of the same coin, for lack of a better analogy.
