Trump said we need to bail out big companies because otherwise it will be too hard for them to start up again later. No. Our approach should be the opposite. We should be bailing out individuals, not big companies. Now more than ever we need bottom up, not trickle down economics.

You know because buying back your own stock and bonusing CEOs helps you “bounce back”

Are we going to keep ignoring the fact that these companies like everyone else were doing their thing until the government stepped in and shut everything down?

If people starve to death they won't be able to start up again later. There was Republican talk of not helping out people who make under $23,000 a year. It sounded like their preference was to simply enable their demise. As if it was a sin to actually help those in need.

"I voted against the Senate Republicans’ bill because Americans who need the relief most, workers, families and small businesses and medium-sized businesses were left out of it. I am confident that we can make progress through additional talks." Democratic Senator Bob Corker

Bailing out individuals/families would stimulate the economy thereby leading to economic growth for the large and small businesses...You don't need an economics degree to figure that out. You just need a bit of empathy and common sense. Marianne is right on point as per usual!

I'm not sure if he said exactly that. Maybe he's referring to bailing out rich entities alone and not wealthy companies that will not go bankrupt. Regardless the rich no longer own their own 💰.
