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.

While Trump and his cabal of crooks and liars insisted the economy was sound and doing great...

Many of us Marxists stated our opinions in writing explaining why the recession was here while Trump and all of his Cabinet were proclaiming this to be a thriving economy (all lies) but we never expected coronavirus to exacerbate the recession to this extent... nor did we know Trump was going to commit the country to economic suicide with this huge bailout of the largest Wall Street monopolies to the tune of trillions of dollars without the American people receiving equity- a stake or ownership- in these companies.


The very banks which we bailed out in 2008 will now end up owning everything... even though we are mortgaging our short and long term future to bail them out again.


No doubt there will be millions of home foreclosures, again with cars being repossessed and unemployment will continue to mount.


Most working people and small businesses will have to jump through a maze of hoops trying to figure out how to claim what this legislation entitled them to- it’s like try to figure out what you have to do to get your money if you want it and they aren’t even giving us the the rules they expect us to follow.


Only the biggest Wall Street monopolies will benefit from this “stimulus” package; obviously the Democrats did nothing to protect us from this scheme which is nothing but another Trump scam to transfer wealth from the working class to the Wall Street vultures and parasites... the same scheme that got us into this mess in the first place but this time on some kind of even more powerful steroids:


The utterly evil Trump in charge putting Jared Kushner in place to carry out the operations.


Trump thinks up the game plan and Jared Kushner carries out his orders... if this isn't a recipe for disaster I don't know what would be.


We are on a sinking ship... doomed unless we can muster the courage and strength to take control and take the levers of government out of the hands of these Wall Street crooks...


Think about this:


What kind of people would put a completely incompetent jerk and film-flam con artist like Jared Kushner to watch over their child’s piggy bank never mind the operations of the United States government in time of great crisis?
