The president said today that if he had listened to the scientists, America today would be in a Great Depression. He apparently doesn’t realize that for tens of millions of Americans we already are.

Really? Are you unaware how many hungry people are homeless in America today?

Thanks. What I said was that for tens of millions of people the social conditions of poverty & hunger - yes at Great Depression levels -are already there. It doesn’t have to be a mass societal reality (thank God it’s not) to be that horrible for those people who are struggling.
