This sucks!

The stock market is sinking, bars, restaurants, night clubs, comedy clubs, sports stadiums, shopping malls, casinos all closed. Hotels, planes, trains, buses, taxis and Uber all empty. All sports cancelled. The federal government wants to boost the economy by giving every individual $1000 and people with families even more. My wife is out of work and I could really use the $1000! But; I am against it. That money the government wants to give the American people is either tax money taken by the American taxpayer, or foreign money borrowed from a foreign nation.

What’s my idea, you didn’t ask? First; have everyone affected file for unemployment through their state of residency. State unemployment offices (usually) make people look for other jobs. Jobs like warehouse person, and delivery person should be in demand. Second: have everyone that owes income tax in 2019 forgiven. Third: cut the tax rate for all Americans to 5% for 2020.

As for bailing out the oil companies and airlines. I say: hell no! Remember back in the days of paying California prices for gas and you did not live in California? The oil companies were making money hand over fist, and ordinary people were short. The federal government had to release oil reserves to keep the price from going even higher. As for the airline industry; they can go to hell too. First it was the fuel surcharge. Then the baggage fees, then all the other fees that come with flying. Not to mention airlines purposely overbook flights! Then the airlines try to squeeze more seats on the birds! More seats on the same plane that is already overbooked at a crowded terminal such as Kennedy or Atlanta.
