The answer is not to reopen the economy; it's to freeze the economy. The government should provide everyone with the economic wherewithal to survive this period without leaving home. It's criminal to make people have to choose between their livelihood and their health.

Where does this money come from? The government generates NO funds to pay for anything - it literally has to TAKE every last cent from other people’s earnings

Where do you think the $738B latest defense budget came from? Or the 2018 $2T tax cut that went 83% to the richest? Or the $500B to bailout Wall Street? That's your tax money!

The government doesn’t take in enough tax money each year to sustain this spending. To think sustaining the American people on the back of the government through this is absurd. Money runs out. This is why ppl believe it isn’t about a virus but ramming an agenda down ppls throats

If you consider a tax cut to be the government spending money then that says all we need to know about your understanding of economics. You can’t out-earn the inability to budget.

And we and our grandchildren will be forced to pay every penny back through taxes and inflation. Doesn't matter, though. The USD will collapse long before my kids are paying taxes.

And a big dose of future inflation.
