The ONLY solution is high tariffs, on shoring and self sufficiency in everything.

And to think that with 535 of the advertised “best and brightest” there is not enough collective intelligence to balance a budget.

Regarding the $1200 fiscal stimulus and pandemic unemployment benefits, there are 2 schools of thought:

1. The resulting increase in our budget deficit is substantial and seems irresponsible. I don’t like it at all.

2. But on the other hand, Trump and the Repubs better continue this costly “support” for the economy until the election because if Biden and the socialists win, the deficit spending for greedy liberal social programs WILL DWARF THE MONEY SPENT ON PANDEMIC RELIEF.

Cynically, I look at the pandemic relief spending as a necessary measure to prevent total destruction of our economy by the DemoRats.

Crushing debt is CAUSED by democracy. That’s why our now-dead constitution has many safeguards against democracy.
