Schumer calls for up to $25,000 in ‘heroes’ pay for coronavirus workers
[NYPOST] Sen. Chuck Schumer
...Senator-for-life from New York, renowned for his love of standing in front of cameras and microphones. Schumer has been a professional politician since 1975, when disco was in flower, which is 44.33871 years. Senate minority leader as of 2017...
is calling for up to $25,000 in "heroes" pay for front-line health care and service industry workers as Congress pushes ahead with a new coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague)
...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men...
crisis rescue package.

"This is a heroes’ fund and they deserve it," the New York Democrat said Tuesday.

The Senate minority leader declared the emerging proposal the "highest priority" for Democrats as congressional leaders and President Trump call for more aid for Americans.

Nurses, truck drivers, grocery store clerks and others are "risking their lives" to care for Americans amid the COVID-19 pandemic and economic shutdown, he said.

"They get lots of applause and kudos," he said, referring to the nightly 7 p.m. cheers that ring out from residents across New York City for the front-line workers.

#4 Hey, welcome the Venezuelan economy model!

Free money for you. Free money for you. Free money for you.

Hang on to that toilet paper. It's going to be worth more than the money. Of course the governor will send out the NG to take it if he deems it necessary.
