I am getting is based on their actions and not their words. As we write this they are debating economic stimulus to cut $1200 checks to citizens and more tax cuts to corporations. What this country really needs now is more tests, more protective gear for health care professionals, swift unified action on operating procedures instead of chaos of one state has shelter in place other is doing whatever they want.
The leadership is completely missing. From downplaying the virus (so as to not impact the “roaring geyser of an economy”; cos that’s the only thing that might get him and his part re-elected) to giving money to people (pump the economy - again only thing that makes a case for his and his party’s re-election ). This is personal opinion- I feel the reality is he and certain members of the party don’t give a flying duck about the virus. It’s expected to do damage and they are ok with it as it is what it is and they don’t think this will last more than 3 or 4 months. I feel What is certain for them is this will end and they want the economy to spring back up quickly in time for re-election. I am basing this based on their actions today and in the past not on their words.
At the end of the day you have a con man from the nyc construction market running the show who has a proven record of putting his interests first(he is part of more than 3000 lawsuits - this is him prior to taking office). The industry and market he comes from is one that is of zero sum game. He has zero sum thinking. Blatant liar as record has shown and self promoter who gives him a 10 out of 10 for his handling of this fiasco. Every morning the imbecile comes to tv to tell just one thing how well he is doing and because of that how good the situation is.
Also creating an account just to answer this question gives you zero credibility.
- chatmasta 7y agoMoney distribution needs to be prioritized right now. People who live “paycheck to paycheck” are on two-week cycles. If the bills keep coming but the income stops, we will have problems.
- quietthrow 7y agoI understand that but that’s second on the priority compared to the other things mentioned. If there are no people left bills won’t matter sadly. Also the economy is interconnected. One persons income is another persons expense. So yes physically people might get bills but the time to pay will increase if the economy comes back. And the only way the economy comes back is by having its constituents capable of participating. If they are all sick there is barely any economy. dosnt matter home much money is printed. Hence priority number one is health. Then the stimulus. PS: I really like what you have written on your profile. Your openness to willing engage in dialog is exemplary!
- fsb 7y agoMy gosh, your response is simply asinine. You think that all members of Congress and the Executive branch don't give a fuck about the health of people and just care about making more money. All evidence points to contrary but you seen none of that because you're delusional. I'm done with this.
