Budget shortfalls threaten additional job cuts, gutted social programs, and can cripple states’ abilities to conduct coronavirus vaccination programs.

The time for government to do something is now. Check out how other countries are handling the pandemic:

Wages subsidized by the government during pandemic:

🇨🇦 – $2,000 a month
🇯🇵 – Up to 100%
🇳🇴 – Up to 90%
🇩🇪 – Up to 87%
🇫🇷 – Up to 84%
🇬🇧 – Up to 80%
🇮🇹 – Up to 80%
🇺🇸 – 0.0%

That is an international embarrassment. The working class needs our help NOW!
