Tax cuts aren't going to get people travelling again, reduce the load on medical services, or end the need for social distancing. Some of this we're just going to have to wait out.

Could be. Both parties have a way of adding on to bills all kinds of stuff. That's usually what you find out when you are disgusted that a party refused to pass a bill that is seemingly a good bill.

I don't know why the other party then doesn't just take it to the public. Both parties do it so don't pretend it is a Democrat thing.

It's the American way.....American swampy way.

Well, the green energy stimulus was pretty much a bust from the start; Solyndra ($535mil loan, declared bankruptcy), Al Gore's Fisker ($529mil and built in Finland), both went bust.

That is why Mr Obama was not trusted, opposed.

On Feb 25, Trump said the number of Coronavirus cases in the USA was 15 and was going to go down, not up. He said it would soon be zero.

https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings...ss-conference/

"And again, when you have 15 people, and the 15 within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero, that’s a pretty good job we’ve done."

These guys have to stop these stupid games -- they look like fools -- on both sides the stupid games and antics never ends well.

Also, males have more risk having beards and mustaches as they make the masks harder to stay on (clean shaven faces seal better) so Grizzly Adam types might want to shave that beard off til summer time.
Those beards are germ magnets.

They haven't been testing people, the only ones that are being counted are those who end up dead or in the hospital and you think you made your case by comparing this to auto accidents?

Damn, I guess I'd better become a hermit for awhile, or I'm doomed....I have heart disease, diabetes, chronic kidney disease among other things, and I'll turn 80 in July....Oh well we all have to go sometime.
