Well then I assume you'll be supporting passage of Nancy Pelosi and the House Dems' bill as it moves to the Senate?

Absolutely, I do.  Frankly, it isn't nearly, not remotely enough.

Look, I get it.  The Elites who forced this economic stall and freefall on America have won the economic peace and the war.  They've scared Americans into burrowing into their homes like fearful sheep.  They've ensured the destruction of the American economy for decades to come.  This could never have happened today:

It won't be a "V" shaped recovery.  It won't really be a recovery at all.  The societies who chose not to stall their economy will win, and America will lose.  Not the Elites, of course, they have resources on which to fall back.  But the -- let's see, I'm going to guess 60 million unemployed at the unemployment nadir -- lower and lower-middle classes are completely unprepared for this fall.  And they'll revolt, hopefully in a bloodless fashion.

So, yes, I support the $3 trillion package, and it's too small by half.  Yes, the currency will be debased, yes, our civilization will be reduced by some substantial fraction and the American Dream will die, along with any notion of American exceptionalism.  And frankly, I'll support the Socialist-like moves that come later, including heavy income and wealth taxes on the wealthy, and the mobilization of the National Guard to enforce it.  Why?  In part because the Elites will deserve it, and in part because it will be our only option.

The desperate moves to keep as many old/diabetic/heart failure/hypertense (look Ma!  I'm all four!) people alive at the expense of ruining the American civilization came from a good place, as far as the Elites are concerned.  A noble cause in the face of a horrifying contagion.  And their nemesis, Donald Trump will go down as the worst POTUS ever, and the Elites will gleefully pile on, convinced that any other POTUS would have magically prevented the contagion from arriving here and doing the damage it's done.  And Trump's tax cuts not only ensured that the wealthy will stay wealthy, but that they will distance themselves from the Deplorables who voted for him.  So yeah, in a year, his name will be a curse on everyone's lips.  But it won't change anything.  And it looks like senile Biden is the people's choice to solve everyth...ho ho HAHAHA!.  Seriously?  Neither Bernie nor Elizabeth Warren nor AOC will get elected, but their policies will take hold.
