Those buffoons really need to get their priorities straight. This is a national emergency and they're showing to be totally Incompetent. Just do the MATH and get @RepMaxineWaters very pragmatic solution into place. I'm tired of having narcissisistic idiots in charge. Seriously.

All these trillions to the stock market in an effort to boost the economy. The stock market does not = the economy. The stock market does not = the economy The stock market does not = the economy EXCEPT FOR THE FILTHY RICH

Repeating, repeating, repeating - I'm hoping for an enlightened version of Naomi Klein's 'Shock Doctrine' with circular economy incubator zones in economically depressed areas. Job training, green jobs, economy, environment, humanity, etc -> win/win/win
