Jim, I certainly recalled that picture from the history books when I read the story.

And ignored the reports:

That's a major reason why we're screwed.

That's true, those infected in Italy are more prone to die, reason unknown at this point.

Care to answer that one?  
It's how they want it spent versus the 1000.00 giveaway the GOP wants, opps, that's been revised by two thousand:
"Mnuchin has proposed two $1,000 checks at a cost of about $500 billion -- substantially more generous than McConnell’s bill. Those direct payments wouldn’t be based on income level, as in the GOP proposal."

Plus this:
"Part of the higher price tag, according to Kudlow, includes an offer Republicans have made to include expanded unemployment insurance in the forthcoming legislation. "
Remember the Tea Party? And that's not the one that preceded the revolutionary war, it's the one with ding dongs who could very well be in this forum dressed-up in colonial uniforms standing on the steps of the capitol building protesting the stimulus program. Where are they now? On ventilators? quarantined on a cruise ship? Or awaiting their unemployment check?

While I think they ought to beef-up the unemployment insurance big-time and support small business owners with some additional support for corporations in the airline/cruise businesses, the overall giveaway to everybody needs to be revised before it's passed but it looks like it's a done deal...
