There are people who love you and need you.
“It’s not Pelosi who wants it before the election . it’s Trump...”
***************************************************
No, Trump is expertly playing Pelosi while she foolishly thinks she’s playing him. He won’t be cowed or panicked by Pelosi like some FReepers have been.
Bottom line is we need a stimulus.
Don’t do anything crazy over money.
“Out of the ashes rises the phoenix.”
Oddly, my wife says similar things.
Bless you both.
I truly feel that if this covid panic would stop, I could survive. But with Dr. Fauci fanning the flames of doom.... All my clients have bailed. They too are in dyre circumstances . I pray President Trump is reelected.
“Bottom line is we need a stimulus.”

You’re not understanding that, win or lose, QUICKLY after the election most lockdowns will be ended and multiple new COVID-19 monoclonal antibody treatments along with multiple vaccinations will be available.
You can take that to the bank. THREE AND ONE-HALF WEEKS!
There’s always a way to make money and carry on life here in the US.
You might have to change what you do, but there’s always a way.
If you own the business yourself, you can probably get money from your state due to covid. Check your state’s Department of Labor website.
If you have a lot of spare time currently, quit reading/watching the news, and learn a new skill.
Coursera has tons of classes you can audit for free.
Read books. Amazon has tons of free Kindle downloads of the classics.
Focus on the positive. Go for walks, exercise, learn meditation and yoga.
It’s never too late to learn and enjoy new things.
Most important, take care of yourself and things will work out.
spoken like a true conservative?
(Since the states have created this economic disaster, the states should provide the compensatory welfare, relief, bail-out cheques.)
If there is a Jew, woman or man in the USA that casts a vote for Joe Biden to become POTUS....they are either stoned on reefer, drunk with too much booze or simply insane!!! Just take a good hard look at Democrat Party, Jew Haters Andrew Cuomo & Bill De Blasio as they attack Jews in New York City.
Obama, the ex-POTUS, hates Jews and hates the Jewish state of Israel even more...he loves Iran, this Obama fellow!!! Sad to say and believe that the “Cattle Cars” from the devastating, horrible past are being made ready for future service and American Jews do not have a clue!!!
Yep.....American Jews vote for Biden/Harris and prepare yourselves for a long crowded train ride to your destiny of despair & terror for you, your innocent children and the great state of Israel!!! Sadly, you are all fools & idiots!!!
Shades of Hitler are alive & well in the American Democrat Party!!!
Praying for you, Redshawk. Turn away from those thoughts. All is not lost. You can see from the response, here, that people care about you.
Thank you for the kind words.
Thank you for the kind words.
The poor kids will have to use their skills at writing code for barter.
Thank you for the kind words.
Suggestion: get out your Bible and read Ecclessiates Chapter 3, then the whole Book of Job. Whatever you are feeling about your current situation, God is with you right now. And knew you’d be here. And has a plan for you after you find your way through the challenge. You’ll only lose faith and hope if you turn your back on God - but will feel His infinite love if you open your heart and mind.
No don’t.
This too, shall pass.
I’ve been wondering, do we ever have to actually pay it off? Seriously, who’s going to call for it, China?This is a common misconception. The vast majority of US debt is held by Americans. A large chunk is so-called "inter-governmental" holdings, i.e. The Social Security trust fund, wherein we have spent the payroll taxes into the general fund and filled the "trust fund" with T-bills. Another big chunk is held by the Fed, which some serious funny money given the Fed can basically create money since they control our fiat currency. A very large percentage of our debt is held by ordinary Americans as T-bills in pensions, retirement accounts and mutual funds.
China only owns about $1 trillion in US debt. Japan owns the most at $1.2 trillion. So, defaulting on the debt would be a minor inconvenience to China, but downright catastrophic to the United States. In addition to wiping out trillions in American savings, it would destroy the fiscal reputation of the dollar and eliminate its status as the de facto reserve currency of the world, as well as the closely related benchmark currency for trading oil.
Since the states have created this economic disaster, the states should provide the compensatory welfare, relief, bail-out cheques.The states did not create this disaster. Covid 19 did. As an example, California had a budget surplus in 2019, was on track for a surplus in 2020, and was accumulating much of that surplus in its "rainy day fund". This is not fake news or liberal claptrap; the numbers are there in black and white.
California Budget Outlook for 2020 (pre-pandemic)
The federal government has to bail out the states for the simple reason that it is unconstitutional for the states to create money, as described under Article 1, Section 8. It's as simple as that. This is not about pensions and profligate spending; it's about a once in a century crisis and the Constitution.
Agreed, I’m just having fun. We’ve crossed the Rubicon when comes to all that. We’ll pay with slow growth that constantly needs new stimulus and maybe an unstable currency.
My pleasure.
