Labor Secretary Eugene Scalia

Selecting corporate lawyer Eugene Scalia as Labor Secretary is another example of how Trump has filled the swamp he promised to drain. Just take a look at Scalia's record. And recently Scalia announced that managers of your 401(k) can now invest in private equity firms which means more risk to your savings. And that's not all for this corporate servant as David Sirota explains.

Meanwhile, the CARES Congressional Oversight Commission reported in May the program eliminated a requirement that companies have to attest they need money "due to the exigent circumstances presented by" the coronavirus, and modification of a requirement that companies make "reasonable efforts" to maintain payroll and retain employees during the term of a loan. Instead, they will be required to make "commercially reasonable efforts" to do so.
