Let's look at what Trump has REALLY done these past three and a half years. He's cut funding for health care, he's gutted the CDC, he's gelded Obamacare, he's borrowed about THREE TRILLION tax payer dollars, he's in the process of cutting Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security, and he's glutted oil production (cheap gas good in the short run, horrific long term) and he's forced the money markets to lower interest rates so he can continue to present a facade fake "booming economy".
All these things do indeed spur an economic upturn. But the long term results can be catastrophic.
Here's an analogy. If a "Family" stops paying for health insurance, car insurance and home insurance their monthly costs are lowered... they see a "boom" in their household economy. They have cash for fun stuff, new cars, jewelry.
But, what happens... someone gets sick. The family's income and savings are DECIMATED. or they just plain die.
They played the "live well now hope for the best" game. Humans loose this game. This is what Trump has done with our "230 million member family". and the world.
Today we are seeing the first worldwide potential catastrophe on Trump's watch. The Coronavirus is believed to originate in Human China. You know that country that has an autocratic government that controls it's news media (what Trump wants) China that probably knew about the first 100 cases but controlled their media so the world didn't find out UNTIL ABOUT 40,000 PEOPLE WERE DYING!!!
In just weeks cruise ships and airplanes coming from China have been the center of panic. This outbreak is now proclaimed by the World Health Organization as potentially "obstructing" to the entire planet. Ladies and Gentlemen, that is translated to "HOLY S**T THOUSANDS MAYBE MILLIONS OF PEOPLE ARE GOING TO DIE!!!
News sources have infiltrated China and health systems and have found out there are at least 78,000 cases in China, at least 2,000 deaths so far, and quoting all news sources "there most likely will be many more worldwide" and it is clear the situation is much more grave than first reported just days ago.
This could have been stopped if the outbreak was not realized sooner". But what is done is real.
THE PROBLEM:
Back to our "Family" scenario... Trump being the "Father figure" of the family DECIDED IT WAS SMART TO CUT FUNDING FOR THE CDC. AND STARTED THE PROCESS TO ELIMINATE THE SUB-AGENCIES WITHING OUR HEALTH SYSTEMS THAT DEAL WITH...
PANDEMICS!!!!
"Nah, pandemics won't happen" "scientists are liberal do-nothing worry-warts. " "science isn't real" RIGHT TRUMP???????
AS OF TODAY: 81,476 cases, 2,771 deaths officially recorded per the World Health Organization.
Today, official the virus has been spread to not only the USA but South America and Australia and is continuing to spread at an "alarming rate" across Europe.
Yesterday, one of Trump's most loyal Republican House Representatives John Kelly, from Lousianna slammed the acting Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Chad Wolf who could not even answer basic questions of the virus.
Kelly slammed the wrong person. Chad Wolf was appointed along with a slew of "Not-Scientists" by Trump. Specifically under Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, one of Trump's right hand people who helped him OUST PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY KNEW WHAT THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT.
Today, in reaction to growing worldwide panic Trump stood in front of the world and displayed nothing but a lack of knowledge about the virus. He attacked "do nothing Democrats" who are asking for fundings to be reinstated for the CDC, Health and Human Services, etc.
Trump wants to spend more money on a wall.
JEEEZUS!!!
Trump is an environmental moron. And we are all going to be put in danger. Not only by this virus. But future illnesses and the off-the-scale number of illnesses that will expand now that Trump has been gutting health care programs in general.
The "Family" scenario The Family is being run by an HEALTH / SCIENCE IGNORAMUS!!!
