    That's your argument? How are your arguments not catching on with the masses? Why is no one listening to you?
    Why is all of the political movement from left to right? There are no right to left parallels to organizations like Turning Point USA, #blexit or #walkaway. There is no one like a Candace Owns on the left. Why? Why is no one listening to you? Why are your arguments just not getting through?

    I absolutely would prefer the economy of 2015 over the economy of 2020.

    Who wants to go back to the obama economy? I thank God that we had three years of President Trump's economy before this china virus hit us. We have a much, much better economy now than we ever had under obama. After the last three years of prosperity, we are in a much better position to weather this storm.

    I see you're now trying to avoid backing up your claim about Clinton but trying to change the subject.

    GEEEZZZZ. They took back the Congress January 2007 the recession began almost 12 months later December 2007.

    How were their policies in the 2001 recession a failure compared to the Democrats and the 2008? Please be specific.

    Please focus on the topic.

    Not sure the "let's fly helicopters over the country and drop $100 bills" has never been a good stimulus. But this is more a maintenance/liquidity thing. This is not just an economic situation this is government shutting down things and people not being able to go to their jobs. I think tax holidays should come first, keeping businesses operating and employees on the payrolls.

    the data shows otherwise.

    you are again confused. directly refuting your claims is not a white flag.

    except all available economic data shows this claim of yours to be abject nonsense. Every economic metric has been on the exact same unchanging trend line since 2010.

    Yes as I noted and these "stimulus checks" during a purely economic slowdown do little to stimulate the economy. But this is different.

    It is "different" to you only because Trump is in the White House.
    The same economic factors are present in this slow down as with the 2008 crash ... they're just happening at an accelerated rate.

    Of course it is. It's always "different" depending on whose guy is in office. And no, I have no guy in office ever as I don't care for any president no matter what letter is after their name.

    No it's different in a variety of ways, not because of who is in office does that escape you?

    False and do no put words in my mouth. You do not seek the marked difference between now and 2001 and 2008? I don't recall the government ordering businesses to shut down and people stay at home and a health emergency, perhaps you can refresh my memory. If you really want to make a comparison it would be to 2001 which had 911 just as we were coming out of a recession and the Republicans STILL did better than the Democrats did in 2008.

    Other important actions that you can take are:
    • Follow public health advice regarding school closures, avoiding crowds and other social distancing measures.
    • Be prepared in case you get sick and need to stay home for a week or so; a supply of over-the-counter medicines, alcohol-based hand rubs * (for when soap and water are not available), tissues and other related items could help you to avoid the need to make trips out in public while you are sick and contagious.

    ""More than likely we will have additional cases of the swine influenza virus here in our country," she said. "We want people to stay at home if you are sick. Do not go to work. Do no go to school. Do not travel -- airplane, bus -- no form of travel."
