    You mean the Democrat states that Georgia relies on for tax handouts?

    The economy is totally dependent on our control of the virus and immunity. When do you think that will happen.

    Small businesses are closing forever without government help that republicans are giving to big businesses. Esptimates of 40% or higher for many small businesses to ever return. Because they make up more then half of the job market, it’s not a switch Trump would have you beleive.

    True...but Trump could not have done it without the cooperation of the republican controlled government. They are the ones that were in lockstep with Trump while he let the CDC devolve and today, has made it a political tool where every announcement has to go through him.

    Comparing this to the Great Depression is idiotic. The difference between now and then is massive. What we are in today was caused by a pandemic. The economic structure is much different as well.

    It doesn’t matter what it was caused by, the length of recovery from the great depression was exacerbated by the initial conservative effort to put a strangle hold on the economy. This **** only helps themselves. They of course continued to collect their checks.

    • The depression was caused by the stock market crash of 1929 and the Fed’s reluctance to increase the money supply.
    The gop ( Moscow Mitch) is pulling the same s.h.i.t. Now.

    No honest person would mistaken Trump for any kind of a leader. He’s completely focused on himself...

    Democrats are the ones advocating for a prolonged shutdown, not Republicans.

    The difference between now and then is astronomical. The economy is not the same. As long as there is demand there will be supply. We have a global supply chain and online commerce these days. Transactions take place at the speed of light. We had none of that during the Great Depression.

    They are not reluctant to open the economy. They are reluctant to open it STUPIDLY. It seems Trump thinks testing and contact tracing is too hard and leaving it to states to do on their own without a national plan. It can’t be done.

    You actually think that people will start flocking to churches and casinos and restaurants once they start dying as they have begun ?

    We have 4% of the world’s population and 30% of the deaths.
    We are fking up under Trumps so called leadership.

    That’s funny..”as long as there is demand” is the solution ? You’ve just dumped on trickle down economics.

    You also just conceded with 40 million losing their jobs, THERE WILL BE NO DEMAND, without the fed pumping money into small businesses and unemployment. That’s called Govt. Spending.

    Yet, money is suppose to grow on trees because no state can print money and will go bankrupt. Guess they can all sell pot ? The gop doesn’t want to loosen its purse strings for anyone but Trump and his buddies including Moscow Mitch and his legacy rich wife.

    The folks who have temporarily lost thier jobs have lost them due to the shutdown. You are misrepresenting facts here.

    Of course you have facts, not.
    Trump now guarantees a vaccine by the end of the year while he’s watching the death count rise. Of course, just in time for the election. Sounds like Mexico will pay for that too.

    4% of worlds population, 30% of the deaths
    ....great job Donald.

    A shut down literally mandated by Trumps playing golf during the critical times. Countries that started testing and contact tracing early, didn’t have a full shut down....they never did. Their economy is much better. Trump is a mental midget. But he does keep his minions on the fish line.

    Whatever the Hell is coming down the pike, and no xxxxxxx slimy experts know, the best thing the individual can do is get their arse to work, then walk right up, don't crawfish, take your paycheck in hand, and keep working your arse off for more.

    One thing is certain, however: the government will run out of money and cannot support you for very long.

    How can your work make you any money if no one has any to pay you ? Only the illegals working at Trump courses will get paid.

    Only a damn fool works for no pay. That's slavery and it can't be done in the USA except in the illegal sex slavery trade -- because laws are so soft and the hands of law enforcement are tied.

    Tell that to 40 million who lost their jobs and employer based healthcare. Tell it also to the guard units who are put on active duty for 89 days to avoid paying them benefits they legally get on the 90 th day. Labor laws are useless without a gov to enforce them, which the gop has little interest in doing. You live in a dream world .

    The chicken little democrats on this thread are completely hilarious. It's pretty clear their positions are based on wishful thinking and not reality as they continue to demand economic ruin simply to leverage a better political outcome. It's disgusting.

    Hilarious to disgusting. Which is it ? 4% of the worlds population, 30% of the deaths. That’s on the do nothing crowd, the gop. Oh, reality is, you’re suddenly smarter then literally, medical science ? Amazing.
