Mar 2020

This virus is causing a global economic disruption and massive displacement. The world that we knew five months ago is gone. Everything has changed. Things that we have taken for granted may no longer be there. For example, our healthcare work force may be overwhelmed, and that will cause cascading health issues. Emergency services for other maladies may be unavailable.

Our educational system may be in chaos as the normal education matriculation has been disrupted. Entire industries may go under. There is already massive unemployment which then means massive defaults on loans.

So, i need you to understand that the old politics are gone. We are in a crazy new world, and the U.S. budget is the very last thing that we need to be worried about. The very last thing.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
