“Americans' health and American jobs are being attacked by an invisible virus, and this House is called upon to respond today. Americans need our help. I have heard countless stories of people struggling. I spoke to a young woman from Kenosha worried about losing her job and caring for her young children. I listened to a doctor from Janesville who desperately needs protective masks. America is fighting a war on two fronts: a public health crisis and an economic crisis. While far from perfect, the CARES Act provides needed relief: free testing, supplies for hospitals, protection of workers' paychecks, and assistance to those who have lost their jobs. At times, this bill does leave much to be desired. There is unnecessary spending, including $25 million for a Washington, D.C., theater. However, the Senate did its job. President Trump continues to do his job. Now the House must do ours. We cannot let the perfect be the enemy of the good.”
