I think you we talking on a previous thread about your VA benefits and how they re protected, and can't be taken by a judge, etc.?
If the economy collapses, your VA benefits are just one more unsecured debt owed by the US Government. Bondholders of bonds backed by the full faith and credit of the USG will be ahead of you - and they won't get much either.
I am not an advocate of the option.
I’m just saying it’s an alternative to endless shutdown. Even though endless shutdown is not on the table anywhere.
It’s the extreme opposite of endless shutdown.
Between these two extreme points is the gray zone of what the nation will eventually compromise on. And that is as yet undetermined.
Part of the compromise will be to allow some level of infection until a vaccine is produced.
