There are no easy ways out of this, and no answer to many of the biggest questions, such as "Why would you collapse an economy for a virus with a mortality rate that looks like flu? Why force out all private ambition creating a nation of dependents? How could this happen on Boris Johnson’s watch?"

It happened on President Trump's watch. A $22 trillion powerhouse economy, Trump's crowning achievement and the cornerstone of his re-election campaign, left in smoldering ruins over a strain of the flu that primarily kills the elderly residents of nursing homes.

The situation in the U.S. is much more complicated than it is in Great Britain. GB is a faded empire that has been functioning like a broken-down jalopy for decades. That country traded in its ambition for pathetic servitude decades ago.

You see a lot of that mindset here in the U.S., but most of the decisions made in developing a stimulus/recovery plan have been based on the need to protect the value of our currency more than anything else.
