Shit man, it's not Obama's fault or Trump's fault. Blame corporate America for this. Corporate America is the reason there are few ventilator factories in the US along with pretty much everything else. It's high time to lower the boom. Rev up antitrust actions, raise the taxes sky high on the wealthy and corporations. This is easy. Just repeal all tax cuts and deregulation enacted after 1980. And Classic, you know what? My inner anger is seething. I want to destroy a lot of big biz. Here's another good idea. Sanction and shake down all tax shelters. Demand bank records from them, and start filling up the prisons with CEOS. If we drain enough money from corporate america, then they won't have enough to lobby with. This is one way you end run stupid Supreme Court decisions. Abortion? I'm a male and that means I must defer to females. It affects females and not males obviously. Those bloviating Evangelical pastors who are almost always male need to STFU.
It's China's fault and our association with the global economy to a lesser extent. I hope you're not dumb enough to think that's racist like the liberal media thought/ told everyone that it was initially. You're a big government guy. Aren't you a bit pissed that Obama had the means and the capability to stockpile medical equipment and supplies for a large scale pandemic instead of wasting a trillion that amounted to only a few hundred billions for roads and a healthcare need by some or political need as I see it? Yes, I'm tired of preachy Evangelicals and preachy liberals and all their sermons. You may hate corporate America and hate corporate types but it will most likely be corporate America that leads us out of this mess because big government wasn't prepared again. So, how many big government failures do liberals need to see before they lose their faith and stop promoting liberal dreams of grandeur?
No, I don't watch CIA NEWS NETWORK or believe a thing they prattle about. Like "Russia, Russia, Russia" all of the time. I've heard reds under the bed all my fucking life. NeoMckartheyism is just so lame and old. Look, Russia's it's own country, and I don't care what they do, as long it does not affect real US security interests, just the homeland, nothing more. We can't take of ourselves, let along anyone else. The same goes for China. I don't give a shit what China does in it's own country. China's destiny belongs to the Chinese people, not a bunch of know it all Westerner idiots who've turned there own countries into shitholes! Just look at how well the EU is doing. What a shitshow there. No wonder Serbia just told the EU to fuck off.
Uh, what the fuck did China do? Did they put a gun to CEO's heads and tell them to ship the factories? Fuck no!!!! America needs to fucking grow up , look in the mirror and assess the decisions we, the US made to cause this shitshow. Globalism is the blame for the virus. Any, and I mean any pandemic is just one airplane flight away from spreading. That's what happened with the Corona Virus. Dotard Trump didn't shut the international flights down, so I'm point a finger of blame on him for caring about fucking Wall Street instead of the America People. I'm sure Zombie Joe would do something just like that. It's both parties, united with corporate america over all. Obama was bad enough, but after all, it's Dotard who unfunded our pandemic surveillance.
Corporate America carries most of the blame for this. I'm not a "Liberal", like you think. I'm a straight on economic nationalist. And yes, the vision I have of government is even bigger and badder than piss in the pot liberals. Here's my agenda. I'm gonna lay a WWII type of industrial policy on you. Here's how it goes. First any corporation that needs a bail out will have to issue stock and let the government own said stock and the government will appoint a slate of corporate directors who shall oversee proper repayment of any and all government ball money. Next, the directors shall oversee the disbursement of "worker capital", that is to say indirect/direct stock ownership for the American working class. <- Working class = bottom 80% of US citizens. And yes, I'm saying it. I'm full on for formal industrial policy. It also means I'd like more tariffs, hey at least Dotard got that right.... Industrial policy means no more of this stupid "just learn to code". It means telling corporate America to produce needed things right here in the US and it will tell corporations to determine what kind of labor is needed to do this. The government and corporations shall then establish formal job training to career. Employees shall have mandatory labor union representation and corporate board participation. FDR did something like this in the New Deal. I'll call my policy the "Real Deal".

As for big government, well yeah, that's the case now after 40 years of Reganoid policies. The Federal government works just fine for it's real constituency, corporate America. It's not the size of government that matters, but rather who it serves. So tell what Classic. How about we both support nuking any and all tax loopholes, all subsidies, agriculture, oil, wall street, everything. Next, nationalize and audit the Fed. I want to know about all of the Fed's slush funds. For those I'd demand abrupt shutdown, regardless of the fucking stock market. It' can crash to 0 for all I care. Corporate America leading anything good for the US. Get real they've sold us down the river long ago. This clusterfuck is their fault, all their fault. They are the ones who lobbied for tax cuts, their the ones who shipped that jobs overseas. They're the reason we have no medical supplies right when we need them. They're the reason why Americans have no savings and live paycheck to paycheck. They are the reason Americans are dying in huge numbers. It's they're fault and that's that.
By the way, the stuff I want is all pretty much brand new or an update on good policies in the past. I'd certainly get rid of a big chunk of waste, fraud and abuse, which is the Department of Defense. I think I can cut that sucker by 90% and have enough for a good defensive posture .
