Also, none of them come up with any idea or what they would do if they were in Trump’s shoes.

There was one who had answers to the problems facing us, both before the pandemic and now. That was Senator Sanders. He understood modern economics with a sovereign fiat currency we can never run out of and the potential that offers such a rich country as ours. He talked a lot about taxing billionaires to “pay for” his agenda, but he also knows that paying for things that are cheaper and more efficient isn’t really necessary and can even be counterproductive.

If he were in charge at the moment American workers and small businesses would be receiving full pay at a livable rate for simply staying home, and it would not “cost” anything. We would also not face the reality of so many people losing their health insurance exactly when they are most likely to need it. (Something not touched on by the article). The first casualty of this crisis will likely be our dysfunctional healthcare system.
