The Democrats keep trying to use this virus for a personal gain.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) recently appeared on MSNBC where he called on repairing the social safety net and “changing the way we think about how corporations should govern.”
According to Breitbart, Schumer stated, “I think there will be bailouts of the [airline] industry and other industries. … But I’d say a few things. Number one, any bailout that Democrats will support has to put the workers first. We’re not going to bail out an industry and have them cut workers, cut their salaries, and all kinds of things like that. This is for the workers, above all. Second, we’re going to have to put some brakes on some of these executives. The [airline] industry itself did about $300 billion in stock buybacks over the last year. … That is outrageous. And we’re going to have to, somehow, figure out how to make up for that. Because the airlines shouldn’t be allowed to do that, in the past, or in the future. And none of this can go to executive salaries or things like that. So, if I had to describe what kind of rescue of the [airline] industry that we would support, it’s worker-friendly above all. Second, get rid of the corporate excesses, not just during this situation, but permanently.”
Schumer then said, “[I]n this awful, awful cloud, maybe a little good will come out of it. The social safety net has been ripped apart, particularly in the last ten years, when the Tea Party was so dominant in the House of Representatives, and now, in many ways in the White House. To restore some of that social safety net by improving unemployment insurance, by improving paid leave, family leave and sick leave, and doing many other things, and changing the way we think about how corporations should govern. Maybe there should be some working representatives, labor representatives on corporate boards, things like that, could take this horrible, horrible crisis, and, dealing with what we have to deal with now, still create some improvements on into the future.” You can watch a clip of Schumer’s comments here.
The social safety net (?) has been compromised (or whatever he wants to claim) for the past TEN years (his words) – well the bulk of that was during the reign of king barky – how does he ‘explain’ that? Oh wait, he already did – it was the fault of the evil Tea Party (insert eye roll). About the only thing he got right was that there are far too many fat cat executives with their golden or platinum parachutes out there, and never mind the ‘professional’ athletes with their multi million dollar contracts for playing games. We are finding out just how necessary they really are. ‘almost’ as useful as ‘actors’. SMDH
I personally called Schumers Senate office yesterday and left a voice message how truly disgusted with his partisan rhetoric and his constant blaming President Trump. I also said that while President Trump was taking action, like stopping the Chinese from coming into our country on 01/31/20, Senator Schumer was sitting his butt in the Senate chamber trying to oust this President on the Impeachment hoax. I also said that by Schumer going out there all of America is seeing that between him, Pelosi, Biden, the rest of the Dems, and the MSM, that not one of them care a hoot about the citizenry and only about seizing power. Doubt he cares what I say. I am not a donor.
This idiot continues badgering of the President. This idiot continues to embarrass himself and the entire Democratic party with his rambling statement about should have been done. He is beginning to sound like the rambling babbling hand waving apparently senile Pelosi.
Schumer is a dumb Shit with no clue or idea of how Business is run.
His attempts to control Industry and how it does or doesn’t obey or agree with him is simply out of order and common sense.Yes…he should and must shut up !!
Lie-beral DEMONocrats.
