re: $2 trillion is a whole lot of money

Exactly why the government shouldn’t be involved at all. They have, and always will, pick winners and losers in everything they get into. If anything can be done, it would maybe be an additional tax holiday and rebate with an additional percentage refunded to you. And for heavens sakes, please cut payroll taxes. Businesses will need all the incentive they can get to hire and retain employees after drastic decreases in cash flow the last several weeks. But people have to go back to work at some point. This is not acceptable. The people who are most at risk are most likely retired and will stay at home anyway. The rest of us will have to apply common sense and take care of ourselves and our families and friends, if need be. But 3 million joblessness claims in the last few weeks could double or triple or quadruple soon if business isn’t allowed to start up again. That will have much longer term effects on our beloved country than this virus.
