Days have passed and the people in Washington keep promising to get us all a relief deal. While they argue about it, I'm sure there are a lot of people who have already started feeling the pinch of their absent paychecks. Of course none of the politicians need to worry about running out of food or wondering how they will pay for water and electricity. Even if they become infected, I'm sure they will continue to get paid.
As we all do the smart thing and stay home, the politicians continue to nit pick the details. Everyone agrees that it needs to be passed quickly but each side wants their own input. I understand that they don't want to pass this two trillion dollar plan without enough thought, and it does take time, but come on let's figure it out! Enough talking, we need action! At least 1000 people have already died in this country, and so far it's still hasn't remotely reached everyone in it's hellish path. Even in these early stages, the hospitals are running out of supplies and necessary equipment. Why hasn't the federal government stepped in to organize the supply and compel companies to help produce more equipment? All the money in the world won't make a difference if no one can get what they need. At the end of the movie "Titanic" when Cal is trying to bribe a member of the ship's crew, his response is something like "your money won't save you now!" It's true. I feel like we are on a sinking ship. and the government is tossing money to us. We need lifeboats!!
