The non-expansion states have also deliberately made it hard to apply for unemployment benefits and other safety-net programs. Incredible hardship looming for red states https://t.co/8e4MyDTuKp — PolitiTweet.org

One weird and trivial thing about the lockdown: I'm doing a lot more TV, because it's easier. Normally, TV means going to the studio, having makeup done, hanging around in the green room for a long time, then getting your 5 minutes. Not worth it! 1/ — PolitiTweet.org

After the Great Recession, many red states deliberately made their safety-net programs hard to use as a way of holding down aid to the needy. Now they're catastrophically unprepared for the Covid-19 slump https://t.co/CDGZUw8Wpc — PolitiTweet.org

Agree with this: balance sheet damage will hinder recovery even when the virus subsides. But 20% unemployment in 6 months sounds wildly optimistic: we may well be there in *two weeks* 1/ — PolitiTweet.org

State and local spending cuts played a huge role in delaying recovery from the Great Recession. I worry that the same thing will happen again unless there's much more federal aid https://t.co/L84pZgPJBY — PolitiTweet.org

What we need right now, beyond the medical response, is disaster relief for millions who have lost their incomes. But money probably won't flow in significant amounts for weeks or months https://t.co/W7PXbFpH0T — PolitiTweet.org

This cries out for a crash effort, led by experts, to clear up the bottlenecks — sort of like the effort that rescued https://t.co/YnEhffSJ6j when Obamacare launched. But while I'd like to be proved wrong, hard to see Trump admin doing this 2/ — PolitiTweet.org

So, as I understand it, the two key disaster-relief provisions of the CARES Act — enhanced unemployment benefits and small-business loans — aren't likely to be operational for weeks, due to lack of administrative capacity, even though we've already lost 10 million jobs 1/ — PolitiTweet.org

10 million new claims for unemployment insurance over 2 weeks. That's around 20 times the normal rate, and understates actual job losses. For comparison, 9 million jobs lost in the Great Recession https://t.co/ff6X3iFajs — PolitiTweet.org
