The unemployment rate is horrific. In some states, Democrat governors appear to be doing everything they can to make the shutdown last as long as possible, while at the same time begging for a federal bailout to fix their budgets &#8212; even though their states have been mismanaged for decades.<\/p>\n<p>Now, four Democrat Senators &#8212; including Amy Klobuchar and Fauxcahontas &#8212; are trying to use the economic shutdown as an excuse to stick it to business.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-332906\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/2020-APP-Morning-Update.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/2020-APP-Morning-Update.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/2020-APP-Morning-Update-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The Democrat senators wrote a letter to Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell and Treasure Secretary Steve Mnuchin.

They claim that this anti-business, anti-capitalist maneuver &#8212; mergers &#8212; is gonna help the &#8220;little guy.&#8221; (Snort!)<\/p>\n<p>Given the long lockdown, a whole lot of businesses are in deep doo-doo, and the only way some of them may be able to stay afloat is to merge with another company.
