So were Cuomo and AOC right?

Looking, to me, like AOC and Andrew Cuomo may have been right about drawing a line in the sand over the last bail out bill.
Democrats will surely pass its bill soon but Republicans having gotten what they wanted in the last bill aren't planning on voting on any bail out bill until June.

I do agree that Republicans are going to have to cough up some money for the states because red states are hurting too, but how watered down will the final bill be? What will Democrats have to give up to get a decent bill? Good by Medicare and Social Security if our payroll tax deductions are eliminated.

Just saying, time will tell if Lucy pulls the football away again.

My daddy told me before I was old enough to vote; republicans take care of the rich and Democrats take care of the poor.

starting in 2066 (when I turn 70, which would surely be the minimum age by then for full payments.)
