Is the Virus Anyone's Fault?
There is an attack on our country and our leaders are asleep at the wheel. What should we do about it?
August 6, 2020
Do you remember March? Yes, just 5 months ago March. Two months after the new year March, Some of you may have been born and had a Birthday in March.
March 2020, marked a critical time in America. It was the time when the Country was facing an attack, not from China, not from Europe, but without blaming anyone, an attack. Our President (POTUS) decided not to secure the borders with testing. If you enter the USA at any port, be it an airport, or a shipping port, you would have a test done. Instead, he saved all the rapid testing for the White House, Himself, the people who come in contact with him, and his staff.
Imagine, a President of the United States made a decision to not protect the Citizens of the United States. Instead making sure that he was safe. He shut down Chinese travelers when that was no longer the risk.
Then the Senate received the bill on 5/20/20. It has SAT IN THE SENATE and they have done nothing for 2.5 months. Re-read that. The GOP/ Republican party has sat on the bill for almost 3 months with no action. Mitch Mcconell and the cronies in the Senate further reduced the standing of the US by shutting down the economy and not providing people a lifeline. Why would you wait until now?
Let me offer you one reason why you would wait until now:
You would wait until now because you thought you could force the Democrats into believing that if they want “anything” at the last minute you can cram it down their throats. Democrats will accept anything to continue to support the small guy.
Remember the wheel when recycling first became a thing? Well that is how I see these unemployment benefits…..
Here it goes:
You have money coming in, so you have money to spend.
You go out and buy things or pay your bills.
Other people or companies have money to spend, so they hire, people.
You’re back at #1.
At no time does it make sense that people would not be accepting jobs out there and instead remaining on unemployment. Why would they want that. If ONLY there were jobs out there, right? Most companies are not hiring, re-hiring, or considering hiring employees without some sort of guarantee that they can re-open.
So that’s it for today. That’s my two cents. Donald Trump, Mitch Mcconell, and the GOP want it both ways. They want to stop people from making money, they want the country to re-open, and they want you to not wear a mask.
