The president of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce on Sunday said its latest poll shows a "terrifying" fact that one out of 10 members say they’re less than a month away from permanently going out of business.
In an interview on CBS News’ “Face The Nation,” chamber head Suzanne Clark said the poll also showed “something like 50% of small businesses say that they were eight weeks away from closing forever.”
“It's really terrifying these numbers,” she said.
“And so that's why these bridge programs are so important. But also why it's so important that we start to think about reopening in a gradual, phased-in way.”

The Power of Government. Shut down small business and make us beg like dogs for scraps. Thanks but no thanks.
ReplyDeleteWithout a true plan and throwing money (with stipulations) onto a daily growing problem DOES NOT WORK.
ReplyDeleteGood, maybe then Ocean City will be less crowded and families can enjoy it without all the jerks.
ReplyDeleteThe revenue they bring keeps OC going.
DeleteAnd you won't be able to afford to live in OC anymore because your taxes that tourist were paying for will now be your responsibility. Trust me it is so. Just look at Atlantic City NC. Time to show some respect for those poor tourists that waste their money in OC. You should be thankful. I wouldn't spend a dime there - too many other good beaches to go to.
