I watched the original episodes as they aired.

Later I binge watched them.

Later still, I binge watched them again.

They are that good.

You should make it a point to watch the entire series.

Free cheese, free Obama phones, subsidized rent, subsidized utility bill payments, free food stamps, free transport to medical facility, free health insurance subsidy if you sign up for Obamacare, etc.

Oh wait just a minute, people were already getting all those freebies BEFORE the corona virus arrived from China.

It is 10 times more contagious and 10 times more lethal to seniors with health issues, much more than flu. But hey, might solve the social security & medicare shortfalls for decades to come.

It might be wise, if possible, to provide cash for those out of work because of the pandemic, for some very practical and pragmatic, as well as humanitarian, reasons:

It would be very dangerous for large numbers of people to be suddenly unemployed and impoverished, especially if shortages of vital supplies become critical. The last thing we need now is large numbers of desperate people.

President Trump, in additional to being a genius and a man of great morality, is pragmatic. He has already anticipated the dangers.

And thanks to President Trump's genius, including his pragmatism, the US economy has boomed to the extent that we can afford it!

This might be an excellent emergency measure to take, somewhat like the Marshall Plan.

In fact, considering the success of the Marshal Plan, serious consideration should be given to sending cash--not loans--to subsidize small businesses hurt by the pandemic.

We need to assure their survival until the crisis is over.

When it's over, the economy is going to come back with a roar. Small businesses--the backbone of the world's greatest economy--ours!--will roar back with it, fueling it.

Trump is one of the greatest--perhaps the greatest--President in US history.

He is proving this point minute by minute during these stressful times.

Might as well. There is enough money being pumped into a failing system that the inflation will render the money valueless. China’s reaction to the WuHanFlu was such that their economy took a massive hit. We responded by shutting down our own economy. Don’t want to have an unfair advantage over the Chicoms. The enemy shoots off three of his toes so we amputate a leg.

My kids - age 33 and 27 - need this $1,000 bucks.

I really don’t.

And it’s my kids that will someday inherit a finally desolate American economy where $1,000 will buy you a case of water and a roll of toilet paper.

That is if they can find some.

This amounts to nothing more than buying votes.

Pure and Simple.

But what can the democrats do about it? They are the ones who set in motion this financial crisis.

Turning Alinsky around against the dems.

Clever.

The way he is handling this is genius.

He's always one step ahead.

He seems to be ready for anything.

"He seems to be ready for anything."

Yes. And he's trying to get the USA prepared for anything.

Trump is the antidote for the decadence of Western Civilization. It's our misfortune that much of the US (and European) intelligentsia lacks the wit to understand this. If they were all as intelligent as Trump, we would be in vastly better shape.

Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin gonna tie this one down... some of the ideas are gold - others not so much. But he’s a good man. Wish Mnuchin would talk to Tucker. Having and keeping a job is more important than ‘free cash’ from the government. It’s a balance thing.
