These last ten minutes of Maddow's interview with Warren

are incredible as she details the snowballing economic effect of COVID-19.

Her conclusion: we need stimulus now, but with a debt and deficit so high, it'll be hard to get through.

I have no idea how to manage it!

And yes, it is maddening.

Then you can put in images and text. I haven't played with it to arrange the items but play with it. Not sure - you may need a star to do it but any contribute will get you a star and you won't have to see ads anymore!

whether this woman would have been capable to serve as President

There was no doubt before this interview for me

Easy to forget in a campaign with many candidates where being 'smart' is not necessarily a winning trait.

I hope she is the next Senate Maj Leader or Sec of Treasury or Sec of Commerce.

of all or a segment of student loans.

Jubilee = debt forgiveness

Relatively young professional working folks would no longer have the monthly payment for student loan debt but would have the same income and are in the home and family building stage so would spend much of the extra cash.

The spending for goods and services would stimulate and have economic multiplier effects on the economy.

that can be staged (not all debt forgiven at once or at all, targeted debt like those in medical field or debt over 5 years or so on).

Surprised that a like concept has not bee offered up by a candidate (like Warren or Sanders).
