In a testy exchange between Ranking Member Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, Brown asked why the Trump administration is so eager to send employees back to work during uncertain times.
"How many workers should give their lives to increase the GDP … or the Dow by 1,000 points?" Brown, a Democrat, asked.
"No workers should give their lives to do that, Senator, and I think your characterization is unfair," Mnuchin said.
Mnuchin, however, said the US economy risks "permanent damage" if it does not reopen soon, and businesses must bring people back to work "in a safe way."
The debate about when to reopen the economy is central in US policy, and it's being laid bare in today's hearing.
#Mnuchin #CNN #News
Ohio is lucky to have Brown as their Senator that’s for sure! We need more like him!!!
Well done, Ohio! Thank you! ❤️
He is a passionate politician who really cares
I like when when Steven Mnuchin starts lying his lower lip starts quivering.
Uh, you’re an imbecile, .
Send Stevie Munchkin straight into a meat plant.
Jeremy Byington No, I think he means Mnuchin could be of more use to this country by making a few hamburgers out of him.
Remain in mommy’s basement snowflake, here ya go,🍼🍪,🍪,🍪,🧻 .
@Jeremy Byington HAHAHA GREAT RESPONSE.
@mike oren So you’re willing to give up your life so Trump’s family and his millionaire and billionaire friends don’t lose too much on the stock exchange and can keep getting their tax breaks and kick backs? Good boy ….
The governor of new York say today that 90% of new cases are from people that are not working, so go figure.
They are here to serve US! I say we put them on minimum wage!!
“Public Servant” in name only. We’ve been manipulated into serving them – we’re pawns in their political game.
🤺👌
I agree! All of them..
The politicians in office now should donate their salaries!
They’re on minimum wage now, wearing paper hats🎩, ya wanna super size that, bucket of Pepsi, XXLg fries?
Wow, Mnuchin really can’t be honest to save his life, can he?
He’s a jew
Myron Helton
Idiot
justsaying he lied he doesn’t care only for himself get it 😡
@Myron Helton All you get from Trump supporters is repeating Trumps. false and moronic taglines. For once it would be refreshing to hear one of them actually haven’t thought of Their Own. Unfortunately you will never get this. This is due to their total lack of intellect and cognitive reasoning. They call themselves Patriots, yet they are causing the most damage to what this country stands for. As For You Myron, your comment lacks any intellectual reasoning. It consists of you eating up the belief that the news is fake, as well as a few ad homonyms, with a total lack of reasoning which is tantamount to the entire Trump support base. It is a shame that such ignorance is still thriving in this country. I would try to reason with you, but they would be no reason to waste my time as I know you would never consider any other option then will you have already concluded and nothing can change your mind. Sadly that is the Battle Cry of the Trump supporter.
@math science They say fake news CNN yet no mention of Propaganda Fox News, they could have directly contributed to people dying to coronavirus by peddling the idea that’s its a fake virus.
Mnuechin’s imitation of a human being falls far short of the mark.
Yeah 👌🏻, you’ve issued a proclamation, make a note of that gibberish,,,,,,,
WHY IS MUNINCHIN STUDDERING?….He Is LIEING.
All of them are more concern with the Debt, than they are with the Deaths.
They sound like they’re talking in circles
In the case of Mnuchin: it’s because he is. The otherguys, i got too dizzy trying to follow.
There are slaves for those politician expendables.
Everyone in this administration is an absolute disaster
The nightmare continues
@Hawkzblade Please. Mexico’s largest income is the cash their citizens send back to Mexico from working in the US. This is why Mexico is constantly pushing for rights of their citizens in the US instead of telling them to get their asses back to their country. It wasn’t US citizens bringing the virus back to Mexico but their own illegal immigrant population in the US. Next time maybe they’ll keep their people where they belong.
@Hawkzblade most of trumps cabinet is wealthy before office with him.
Yeah, whatever ya say.
So I was right. Trump is not that bad. Out of a whole 3 months there was only 92,000 casualties.
I can work with that 🙂
@joshua lee
the more money they get the happier they are.
its like Robin Hood in reberse.
they should ask how many time hes been tested for coronavirus.
Do u believe what that orange demon says 🍊🎃?
we all should get tested everyday
Who cares?
in New York you can get tested everyday if you want.but why would you want to do that.
He ia a lair lair lair is a circus
Money’s for WARS, fast, money for the American people SLOW
@Randall Marsh Did you know that the last time the guillotine was used was only in 1977? Most people think it was hundreds of years ago!
Australia shut everything because WE CARE about people. Trump says “it’s a hoax”, fires inspectors & promotes protesters with guns, injecting bleach & crazy drugs. TRUMP DELAY = 93,000 dead.
AUSTRALIA = 99 dead
@Colleen Kelly Show off! 🙂
I’m from Venezuela,, thanks God I’m living in America now,,I got here with almost no English I worked in lower wage work in the beginning,, but l get my GED and I’m an now I’m making good money,,I thought that’s how you do it, to get better pay you better your self.
“Thank you” doesn’t pay the bills.
Then don’t pay the bills, dumbass.
Also, this should be a civil discussion and yet this guy keeps interrupting so he can hear himself speak.
Facts
The governor of new York said today that 90% of new cases are from people that are not working,so go figure right?
@mike oren check out what Senegal is doing. Testing EVERYONE and contact tracing. So those who can SAFELY go back to work KNOW that they can. Why is it that ONLY the WHITE HOUSE has daily testing?
He’s like a bad claymation I’m ready for him to melt
Mind Begs the Question:
Reopening,or
Depopulation?
yes
Depopulation by not having a job to pay for rent or food. That is true.
Doh ?
Eugenics via a virus
What is wrong with him tell people they should sacrifice their lives
@mike oren not going to drag you out, they’re going to starve you out.
@Walter White And the flu killed 80,000 people in 2016. Why were your panties not all in a knot then? Thank God we didn’t go by the Dems plan who said closing the borders to travel was racist and xenophobic.
@Low IQ Leftist keep drinking that stupid juice lemming.
@Fire Power you can’t build a heard immunity without a vaccine.
@Fire Power because 80,000 people in a year is nothing compared to 90,000 in 3 months.
-“Is it *fair though?”*
_-“U..uh..listen…uuuh…bipartisan….BS…BS….BS…”_
Mnunchin left brain:Commom terms
Bipartisan, Safe way, Careful, Q1 Q2, Focused, Assure, Vaccine,Virals
The more Mnuchin says “I assure you” the less I’ve believe him.
That’s his tell. It means he’s about to defile you.
Whenever you’ve accurately called someone on their bs, they almost always say you’re “being unfair”.
And totally superficially, Steve Mnuchin is a uniquely unattractive man.
One only a gold digger could love… waitaminute… XD
Definitely an ugly man!
DEFLECTION 101:
Senator = my car radiator is overheating
Mnuchin = oh look at your car’s exhaust pipe – isn’t it shiny
