President Trump suggested this week the next coronavirus relief package could include a direct cash payment for American families that's potentially higher than $1,200.

"It may go higher than that actually," Trump during an interview Wednesday with ABC affiliate KMID in Texas. "I'd like to see it be very high because I love the people. I want the people to get it."

Solution? It is hard to have a solution that makes a problem that is prophesied in the Bible just go away.

My solution was to give my life to His Messiah. Personally I also think America was a lot easier to live in when it was in God we trusted.

This is Mans Wisdom in full swing, and it is foolishness before God. And I must agree with him. The entire disaster is un necessary and man made.

And I gave my life to Jesus Christ, the Messiah, over 40 years ago.

And yes, every word of the Bible will be fulfilled.

And in the meantime, this year there is currently a crisis going on. President Trump and his staff are trying to deal with it as best they can. They have to find solutions and make decisions, whereas you and I can just sit here and discuss it and say how hard it is to find a solution.

The folks I’ve been talking to have an increasing sense of implending financial disaster.

Thousands of small businesses closed or closing, perhaps to never re-enter the marketplace. The ripple effects are incalculable.

Thanks for the reminder.

I’ve been drawing down some supplies - especially stuff in the freezer. They were aging out.

I missed the last rioting opportunity, so I guess I’ll have to go shopping the old-fashioned way :)

National debt is 100% completely meaningless.
Unreal.

That ASSUMES there would be any Republicans left to turn. I don’t see Republicans surviving long enough to test the theory.

Right now they’ll be lucky to pass the $1200 check.

Think about that. If EVERYBODY were given a million buck$, NOBODY would go to work. EVERYTHING would come to a screeching halt. No electricity. No drinking water. No radio, TV or internet. No hospitals. No EMTs of any kind. No airlines. No food markets or restaurants. No fuels or means to dispense them. You get the picture. Be thankful for jobs, and the $$$ incentive for everyone to show up and DO them. God Bless America.

What's depressing is to think of how many of the poor will likely use the money (someone in another thread mentioned how flat screen TV's were flying out the door). I say, instead of checks, give out loaded EBT cards (for food only - no alcohol or tobacco), provide tranches to local banks where folks can go to provide information to landlords/mortgage companies so that the banks can issue them a check, set up an online payment center for utilities where users can apply to have monies set aside to cover these costs directed toward the utility companies.

If this must be done, let this be a responsibility stimulus. Provide for the basics, not extras.

I invested my $1,200 in Apple shares and now it’s worth $1,700.

-”Trump is trying to apply a defibrillator on the heartbeat of this Country. It’s in cardiac arrest and it’s going to take a calculated shock to get it going again. Other doctors can add their wisdom and advice from their years of training and experience but it will do no good at this point. There isn’t enough time to debate and advise and research.

It’s time to hear ONE word, “CLEAR” -

IT BEARS REPEATING !

In the Carboniferous Epoch, we were promised abundance for all.
By robbing selected Peter to pay for collective Paul.
But though we had plenty of money, there was nothing our money could buy.
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said “If you don’t work, you die”.
