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.

Trump tries to evade the consequences of his criminality by blaming the victims he has created through his treasonous actions.

Trump is doing just what politicians always do when they fail to do what is right...


He is blaming China along with the victims and sufferers of the coronavirus on themselves in order to escape blame for his callous and negligent inaction. Instead of responding in a timely manner which one would expect from a leader, Trump mocked and Pooh-Poohed the coronavirus and led people to believe it wasn’t that serious, that it posed no threat to our health and tried to convince us he had everything under control when nothing could have been further from the truth.


And now he talks about what a great response there has been from the Wall Street profiteers in the various industries when, again, nothing could be further from the truth.


And, if all of this isn’t bad enough, Trump appoints a couple buffoons like Mike Pence and Jared Kushner who don’t know or understand, let alone respect science and medicine nor the people of this country, to head up the efforts to take on this very urgent health issue.


Again, we are being played for fools and people are dying needlessly because of Trump’s initial inaction and his wholly wrong actions to date.


The health care system should have been nationalized weeks ago.


Trump’s tariffs of 25% on Chinese manufactured medical equipment, state of the art in the world, prevented people from having access to the best health care possible.


Everything Trump has done and is doing has been wrong and he turns around and blames everyone except for himself.


The guy was out playing golf and holding campaign rallies boasting about all of his accomplishments and how strong the economy was, when, again, it was all lies and deceit, as he allowed the coronavirus to spread out of control.


And then he talks about his fantastic stimulus package and only the big Wall Street monopolists have been enable to take advantage of it while the rest of us suffer not knowing how to get through all the red-tape and systems that don’t even work.
