All I Got To Say Is When This Is All Over And....

[global1]

the virus threat has passed and we have a new President and Congress - they better work hard to close all the loopholes and gaps that got us into this trouble we're in. Address all those things that the Trump Administration took advantage of to defy the Constitution and interpret it to their advantage. They will need to clarify things - so that we'll never be subject to a con criminal like Trump,

We also have to address our healthcare system and change it so that we're never caught so unprepared as we are today.

This next administration - after Trump (AT) will be very, very busy.

1. England put in their National Health plan because of WWII. Everyone had been on

the front lines because of the bombs etc. so they thought everyone deserved health care. Now we have all seen what our 'health care' has become under insurance companies and the republicans. Maybe a National Health Plan is what we need and deserve.

2. Hopefully, this buries once and for all "supply-side economics"

There will be major changes in our society, the likes of which not seen since 1932.

Keynesian economics will be back in vogue.

Just my 2 cents.

4. If / when we get out of this and things return to some sort of normalcy...

We need to hold those responsible for this and like hold their balls to the bandsaw. We cannot let them get away with this.

5. Yeah

I would like to see something medical like Fort Knox, where emergency supplies could be stored. We also should have some kind of rule where critical supplies are made in the USA, so we don't have to beg, borrow, or steal them.

We should do the same for most pharma, although I can see where other countries will have a solution for the virus before we do. In that case we should have a medical treaty where friendly--and maybe not so friendly--countries can exchange solutions with us.

We should already have set up some sort of training program for respiratory therapists to run the vents we may need. We should already have solved the blow-up hospitals, and deployed MASH-like units. USPHS could have handled that instead of being optical billboards for Trump.

6. The O.P proposal is to close loopholes so as to prevent repetitions of current problems.

Lets go back to 1987.... the S & L crisis. Remember that?

Banksters went to jail on that one. Laws were passed to prevent problems.

2008. Laws were passed to prevent repeats of the conditions that led to the banking crisis.


Current situation. Banks are bigger than ever. Abuses are not prosecuted.

We're fucked.
