Across the u. S. So far about 5000 cases of coronavirus have been recorded and restrictions are going into effect one of the biggest decisions has been shutting down schools from coast to coast people more than happy to do what it takes to protect themselves and their families but no one knows how the School Shutdown will affect this generation of students and their parents what happens if the School Closures go beyond a few weeks does the entire term get written off what happens if it least one parent cant stay at home with the kids what happens to folks who depend on the free lunches and the breakfasts offered by the Public Schools and with all the talk about Distance Learning is america competent at scale to pull off such a feat so many questions today and fortunately were joined by people

Toomey why did the administration think it was worth renegotiating nafta . Was it that an unfair and balanced agreement . Was there a lack of reciprocity . Where the tariffs to high .
