We have a crisis situation like 2008

And the only person running for President who has put forth a realistic plan to deal with it is Elizabeth Warren. I would strongly encourage everyone to watch the responses given last night by our candidates to the questions regarding the pandemic response.

Elizabeth Warren has a plan she put out a month ago. The best responses from others approach that plan. But she went further yesterday with actions that should be taken by the current administration. Most importantly, free testing for Covid-19 and for the Fed to open a loan window to businesses that promise not to lay off employees during the crisis.

The Fed blundered today with its half measured action today. Elizabeth Warren has just proven why she is the best choice for our country. Why she isn’t a radical lefty and that she actually understands our markets, capitalism and the threats facing our country at this critical moment.

If you have not voted yet, I strongly urge you to consider Elizabeth Warren. If you have already voted please consider donating.

“ Key actions would include making tests and treatments free to anybody who needs them, providing paid leave to people who must miss work or care for relatives, and propping up the economy with about $400 billion in new government spending.”
