Why not just print a few more trillion to pay for whatever we want? Apparently the national debt is irrelevant, let’s keep this party going!!

We are witnessing firsthand, the collapse of the economy.


Naturally, the Govt is going to try to maintain control and order as long as they possibly can.

Unreal that is the only word that can be used.

So unfortunate when you lack a leader in charge, jobs could have been saved in lives could have been saved.

History will indicate that the current president made many wrong decisions on his time. Decades from now people will learn where this country took a turn and hopefully gets back on track.

For now we owe great things to the governors who have stepped up to the plate and are managing things accordingly for without them who knows where we would be.

The damage is (partially) done. Let's say the gov't lifts all restrictions tomorrow. Who's going back to cruising? Flying? Restaurants? Concerts? School, even? Are you letting your kids go to school?


It's self-destructive now. It needs no "stay at home" order. The very same percentage of (strange) folks who don't think the gov't is telling the truth now - do you think they will get back to work when the same gov't tells them it's SAFE now?


This is a bad scenario for sure. I urge everyone to "take one for the team" when the time comes. Put on a mask, wash your hands, don't touch your face - and try to do whatever it is you would have normally done. We'll have to jump-start this thing!

Current president had three and a half nearly four years to repair for this and did nothing. Trying to blame the previous administration is pathetic.

You should spend your entire day repeating these same sentiments in thread after thread after thread. That will really get everyone’s attention!

Sorry to hear that you don't like the truth but this is exactly what has happened.

Sometimes it hurts to hear the real truth and that's what millions are experiencing.

Your opinion isn’t the truth. It’s just your opinion. One should never begin to think so highly of themselves to proclaim every utterance out of their mouth as “the truth”.
