The Republican bills contain large amounts of cash for large corporations with no strings attached. Mnuchin will be able to hand money out without scrutiny or having to say where it went.
The Dem bills included money to assist airlines, but it includes a mandate that they spend more on reducing their carbon footprint by researching better fuels and other measures.
There are a few Dems trying to include the student loan debt forgiveness or other measures that should be addressed at another time. There should be provisions to protect people that cannot make payments on ANY type of loan at this time.
Any taxpayer funding should be going to PEOPLE that can’t work because of the virus and their company doesn’t give them sick pay. The Repub tax cut of 2017 was supposed to “trickle down” but companies have used the extra money to buy back stock and automate. This is even what CEOs said they would do before the tax cut was finalized, but the Repubs passed it anyway. Trump touted AT&T bonuses that had already been planned, but ignores that AT&T cut 28,000 then and has recently cut thousands more. Many of these jobs are being moved to other countries, and the U.S. people being let go have to train their foreign replacements.
