Again, I'm pretty pessimistic, so I think we need new ideas and changes yesterday to avoid some really tough reconciliations for the country.


I think that ship has sailed and this country is fricked either way, Reps and Dems are both foreign whores who have no interest in putting American Citizens first.

While we're stuck at home? That makes no fricking sense whatsoever.

Didn't get NEAR as much as the companies so get outta here with that shite



The number of people who kept their jobs is staggering.

Ignoring this is amazingly naive.

You're that dumb sum bitch that was all good with Nancy Pelosi giving the Floyd family a folded flag.

But first you said it didn't happen, then it was no biggie once you were shown it did happen.

You do realize that even though this guy is a billionaire, he is a raging leftist, right?

Meanwhile the middle class is the one primarily getting squeezed by taxes and economic burden of the welfare state they keep trying to grow.



High wage earners without generational-type wealth get absolutely crushed in the US these days. Your tax burden is huge, you're capped out of exemptions and stimulus and you're lumped in with the elite like you're Jeff Bezos.

By the way, I'm not saying that it was properly appropriated. the fact that this guy comes from the George Soros school of building ours trying to tear off social fabric apart decreases his validity, though

I follow this guy and he gets most things right, he's not perfect.We need to quit looking at economics as a one ideology fits all. PPP is a great program and should become permanent, albeit it shouldn't be from giant cash infusions from the fed (it was the best option at the time however).

Churches, Catholic and private Schools, Billionaires, Multi-millionaires yet plenty of small businesses got NOTHING.
So all the people that did not need the cash got hundreds of billions and small businesses got skewered again.

Maybe the government shouldn’t be so big to pick winners and losers
