‘Journalists’ never could do math or accounting, or hard science. Ever. That’s why they chose that field. Most are flunked out English majors.

Not just liberals but Conservatives too. Fear is a strong motivator!

I could say a lot on this thread. The thread can speak for itself. I will refrain from comment.

what really, truly sucks is there are many, including myself, that have worked hard for years, lived within their means, paid all their bills, have little or no debt, saved a decent nest egg, put the kids through college without any loans....and my life will be destroyed by the coming depression - which would have happened w/o the virus. A depression brought on by people this stupid in power as well as an orgy of stupidity and debt by consumers and corporations.

Economic illiterates, historical illiterates, natural law illiterates, human nature illiterates, religious illiterates, Constitutional illiterates...must be pre-requisites to becoming reporters or journalists.

Woman reporters, politicians, actors, singers, comediennes...isthere ANYTHING they don’t know?

Saying that is a copout for thinking of something original. Is it your fault? No. Is it my fault? No. Is is fault of most Freepers here? No. And, we are Americans. Thus we are not getting what we deserve. Stop saying that, and point in the direction of those who elected this commie morons.

People get what they deserve only when they see what they could have had...but, no, they won’t see that as they are too miseducated to see it...instead, they’ll believe what CNNMSNBCCBSABCFOXCNBCBLOOMBERG tells them and blame us, and double down on stupid...in fact, maybe they’ll vote illegally a few times to boot. In sum, they will never realize they could have had better if they voted another way. We don’t get what we deserve...it’s our dollars taken from us to backfill for their miseducated actions.

Not every small business owner is a pauper either. Some are sitting on huge piles of cash and other wealth while at the same time laying off staff. Be careful who you have sympathy for.

I just put on my “Liberal Thinking Cap” and I believe I have the answer....

The government should just issue everyone a small printing press and they can print out ONLY what money they need...(use the honor system)...then everyone can print $$$ ..each ...according to his needs...../s.

“Oh, maybe the boss of that local pizza restaurant that the cough police closed down should just go downstairs to the basement vault in his mansion, pop open the door and take out one of those dozens of big sacks with dollar signs on them that are stuffed with $100 bills and use them to meet payroll. And rent. And insurance. And supplies. And maintenance. And so on. And so on. And so on.”

AS a previous owner of a small business I can attest to the fact others who are clueless as to what is involved in owning said business in fact do believe we are all rich. This is nothing new since I owned my business some 20 years ago.

I like you idea but allow me to improve it a bit. Let the US government print(create) all they money the want every year, say $4T/yr. And then stop collecting taxes PERIOD. No income to the US treasury: just let Uncle Sam print away.

Then it would be race between the productive, that can more than keep up with inflation, and the all so rans.

Have you ever heard the expression, “We will get the government we deserve”?

And so it is.
