Senate Democrats are holding the U.S. economy hostage after blocking legislation to protect small businesses, guarantee payroll and expand unemployment relief to tens of millions of workers. The vote failed 47 to 47, with 60 needed to advance the bill.The fate of 30 million small businesses and critical industries, indeed, the U.S. economy hangs in the balance after the federal and state governments have practically closed everything except for essential services. The government has put the economy into an induced coma, and now it has a responsibility not to lose the patient. By forcing almost the entire population to stay home for all intents and purposes, the government must ensure the American people have an economy to go back to. Many of those businesses will never come back—unless Congress acts right now to protect them. Here is the truth. People are going to start running out of money very soon as cash reserves are depleted. Without revenues, every aspect of the economy will seize up. The only way to safely contain the virus is for Congress to incentivize the American people to stay home. Or else people and businesses will begin breaking the national lockdown out of desperation. What do you think?
