The United States is the only advanced democracy not to give direct and substantial cash relief to its citizens during this pandemic. Perhaps just let that sink in.😞

What does that prove? Is the herd right? Shall we follow the herd?
If GOP refuses a relief bill above $ 900billion, a good compromise cut the PORK leave the checks! $900 billion/330 million Americans = a $2,700 relief check for every man, woman, child in the US.

Meanwhile, former Obama FEC head and Clinton treasury secretary says “nah” people don’t need it... I wonder how we got here 🇺🇸 🤔
"$2,000 checks would be a pretty serious mistake." Former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers says larger stimulus checks to Americans could risk overheating the economy trib.al/gYJtefL

Maybe it’s time to stop describing ourselves as an “advanced democracy.”

I lived in France for 30 years. Had health care, housing, much better food. I am sorry I came back. I came back to a country I didn't recognize. How the mighty have fallen. What goes up, goes down. Thx, Reagan and Rs.

I'm very disappointed at the way this pandemic, and citizens assistance has been managed by the government. Very ashamed and disappointed at GOP. First people is dying due to the TrumpVirus, and now they add death for starving.

Guess we’re not so advanced, especially in light of the support for our current joke of a president.

Are you asking for us to hold a working class socialist revolution? That is the only way we will get anything but unregulated capitalism that is crushing us and only shakes a few crumbs loose for the bottom 90% every few years.
