A GOP senator just proposed a Denmark-style recovery plan where the government helps pay workers' wages during the coronavirus pandemic

Moscow Mitch won’t let this great proposal get off the ground...

GOP Sen. Josh Hawley wants the government to help pay people's wages in a remarkable recovery proposal for the coronavirus pandemic.

"The federal government should cover 80 percent of wages for workers at any US business, up to the national median wage, until this emergency is over," he wrote in a Washington Post op-ed.

The senator said he wanted Congress to "protect every single job" in the US since the federal government effectively shut down the economy to keep the virus from spreading.

Several European countries, such as Denmark, the Netherlands, and the UK, have stepped in to pay worker's wages for the next several months of the pandemic.
