What we need is a "21st Century Full Employment Act for Peace and Prosperity" which would make it a mandatory requirement that the president and Congress attain and maintain full employment.

Screwed up priorities.

So, there is a massive mobilization of the military for regime change in Venezuela and Nicaragua taking place right now that is costing us hundreds of billions of dollars agreed to by both Republicans and Democrats but this same government can’t muster the resources required to adequately tackle the coronavirus as it tries to cheat people on Social Security out of the $1,200.00 checks we were promised and these same Wall Street bribed politicians claim they can’t afford to pay every adult in this country $2,000.00 a month and provide a monthly payment of $100.00 a month to every child in the family while we are in the midst of total economic collapse with mass record-breaking unemployment


Talk about a government with screwed up priorities doing everything wrong and then these politicians that don’t care about us or anyone else except for themselves expect us to vote for them to boot.


We have a corrupt government using this coronavirus pandemic as an opportunity to push the country into more wars, destroy social programs and whittle away our rights protected by the United States Constitution and Bill of Rights... as people die.
