We're from the government and we're here to ensure the FUBAR
if only the world had one Tsar.
The last thing we need is government. It is a huge part of the mess we are in. We also need less of the media and Dems and liberals. We need to go back to living. Work, school and recreation. People will die if we are open or closed. Opened we have a chance to live, brave and free. Closed we see our nation die and the people become slaves.
Imagine, if you can...
“Why in God’s name would we ever shut down the entire country to purposely create a depression?”
Simply Orange Man Bad
1920 there was an economic catastrophe, Washington did nothing 10 months later everything was fine
1929 there was an economic catastrophe Washington did 3000 things and 17 years later everything was fine.
It is a little shocking to me that the mistakes of the past are being repeated and very few understand we are gong to have a ten year mess instead of 1.
They mean Third Great Depression, don’t they? In many ways, the Obama Depression was worse than the “Great” Depression.
One thought gives me hope: just like the stock market, thanks to Trump we had further to fall.
I’m optimistic that most of us will be able to return to the jobs we had, based on the fact that most of us want to put this behind us and get on with the lives we’ve been forced to put on hold.
Of those who remain unemployed after this, many didn’t have a job when Trump took office or even as recently as last year. Meaning that many lives will be reset back several years but when Trump’s re-elected (dear Lord, I pray) things will get cranking again fast, especially as he promotes on-shoring companies and jobs that got shipped overseas.

A combination of fiscal, monetary, and supply-side stimuli are needed, along with infrastructure projects that pass a credible cost-benefit analysis. Fortunately, in confronting this potential Depression, we have a President who, as a businessman with an MBA from Wharton, not only understands what needs to be done but has shown political skills of the first order.
Zackly so. If they are truly scared to work, give them a bit of welfare.
If they want to work and offer others jobs, give them sinks and towels and whatever keeps them going.
Sit at home and wait to be infected...b. as in b., s. as in s.
And FReepers who breathlessly post the world wide death toll count by the minute.
I concur with your thoughts. I should mention that President Trump does not have a MBA from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. He graduated in May 1968 with a B.S. in Economics from the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School.
An economics degree would be better yet. I thought that Trump had an MBA.
If it doesn’t include arresting congress, it won’t help.
