Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and many of his fellow Republicans will gladly bailout the airlines but draw the line at helping the states provide help to Americans sick or otherwise dealing with the many problems caused by the coronavirus pandemic.

This is a bad idea for many reasons.

As the Governor Larry Hogan of Maryland and head of the National Governors Association said:

The last thing we need in the middle of an economic crisis is to have states all filing bankruptcy all across America and not able to provide services to people who desperately need them.

These seems especially unfair as much of the problem in the United States is due to the failure of President Trump to address this problem when it was smaller and more manageable.
