The Senate is very close to finalizing its coronavirus stimulus plan.
But we just caught the Republicans trying to pull a fast one.
One section of the 1,000-page plan contains good language that would prevent companies from using bailout money to buy back their own stock, increase dividends or raise CEO compensation.
But the very next section gives Donald Trump’s sycophantic Treasury Secretary, Steve Mnuchin, the power to ignore the previous section and let Big Business do whatever it wants with our money!
Are we going to let them get away with something so sneaky and corrupt?
Tell your senators to strip the Mnuchin Maneuver from the stimulus plan.
Email your senators right now, before they finalize the plan.
Thanks for taking action.
Stay safe.
