.@SenRonJohnson If your job is gone & not coming back, how do you “reengage in the economy?” If rent is due & you can’t afford to pay it, where do you go? If your kids are hungry & you have no money, how do you feed them? What you’re arguing isn’t wise economics; it’s cruelty.
.@SenRonJohnson: "Why do our Democrat colleagues want to propose continuing $600 per week... that is preventing people, incentivizing people not to reengage in the economy so our economy can recover? It makes no sense."

How do we put congress and senate pay in the hands of the people? Let's renegotiate all terms to be decided by the voters, reducing their pay to an hourly Federal minimum wage. If you don't show up and clock in you don't get paid. Greedy Heartless Slum Lords! That's All They Are!
Replying to @marwilliamson
People that have never been without will NEVER understand. People who have never been ALONE will never understand. Republicans live on borrowed everything; borrowed money, housing, food, borrowed time. That way they never have to be responsible for their cruelty.
How ignorant can these people get? It's like they think we want to stay home because we feel like it. I'm so sick of right wing ideologues making us ALL losers in this fight for our collective lives.
Not even 600 is enough to make it two weeks, honestly should see about giving everyone at least 6k to try to get a foothold. Y'all ain't ready to accept that conversation though
policians chosen by greedy billionaires and soulless corporations 🙄

You freaking created a slave labor economy so pay people to stay home. You broke the economy so you pay for it.
Very well said, Marianne Williamson. And you ended it with exactly the right word. I really think you should get a chance to speak at the Democratic convention.

A whole lot of grandstanding while nothing is getting done on The Hill. Politicians are being dramatists about the issues. People's lives are imploding daily. They seem to be out of touch with the "stand our ground stance". #thenativesarerestless

Absolutely Malthusian. Big "If they would rather die they better do it, and decrease the surplus population" energy.
