When every medical provider has proper PPE, they should go on recess. When every hospital has the respirators, ventilators & medicine they need, they should go on recess. When money is in the pipeline to give every American what they need to survive this, they should go on recess

What if doctors and nurses went on a 3 week recess? The level of sheer irresponsibility of all 535 of our legislators is jaw-dropping.

There are articles suggesting that USPS might go under from lack of funding. How about freezing the paychecks (& the healthcare) of the Legislative branch and using those funds for the much more essential Postal Service?

Even in elementary school we couldn't go on recess until we finished DOL.
