The Trump pandemic response stimulus plan, shown first to Senate Republicans, proposes $100 billion for workers. The thin gruel Trump’s team proposes recalls famous 1980 Boston Globe headline mocking President Jimmy Carter: More Mush from the Wimp.

Donald Trump may have finally realized the coronavirus pandemic is real, but he hasn’t a clue about the price in lost wages, not to mention lost lives, that Americans workers will pay for his lethargic incompetence.

Workers would get maybe $100 billion, corporations $850 billion. Airlines would get $50 billion, half as much as workers, Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin told Senate Republicans.

While $100 billion sounds like a big number, its bupkis compared to the scope of the job loss problem.

American workers gross about $150 billion per week, IRS Table 1.4 shows.

I really like David Cay Johnson..........................his analyses is simple and to the point................


So maybe instead of “More Mush from the Wimp,” the smart headline would be: Trump Feeds Workers to the Swamp Monsters.

1. Orange Hitler and his moronic cult followers have no clue about anything

They worship stupidity, rank stupidity.

They are a few notches below worshiping a golden calf.

I hate them all. It has come to that. Words fail to express my disgust and contempt for them.

2. One day they will realize it's the workers that keep these companies alive

and without workers, no amount of money will make them whole.
