There have been only 112 deaths from coronavirus in roughly 60 days in the US. I would guess that more people have died from choking on a steak dinner in the same period here. Does that really justify a TRILLION $$$$$ bailout?

Does that really justify restricted travel and massive job loss and business closures???? Will Americans eventually notice people are not sick and dropping like flies as their 401k and pension plans vaporize? ONLY if the tv news channels clue them in and I DOUBT THAT WILL HAPPEN.

I argued against needing government to stop ‘our’ worst urges about a month back with someone. I don’t recall who. I wish I had this quote to drop then. Muh emasculation.
