Not knowing how our money works was the cause of failing to act rapidly & correctly in 2020

Those who knew how money operates knew that when our USA-FED-GOV needs a country which is free of people infected by a communicable airborne disease that need then becomes a provision which our country’s USA-FED-GOV can pay to acquire

Our USA-FED-GOV could have afforded the immediate hiring of every citizen & of every person visiting (by invitation or misadventure) as Emergency Public Health Employees

Our USA-FED-GOV could have afforded the immediate paying of each EPH employee a weekly amount of money of $25 an hour for each of the 24 hours in a day (keeping distant to prevent disease transmission is 24-Hour work) for a weekly salary of $25 x 24 hours x 7 days

Our USA-FED-GOV could have afforded paying EPH employees for 42 days of country-wide isolation which is an amount of time of disruption of non-emergency commerce far less than has occurred.

When one knows how money operates solutions appear to so many problems that stump the unknowing.

note: The people who know how money operates are alive. You can ask them.

Plain and simple about 15+/- yrs ago a single family on 1 construction workers income could afford AT LEAST TWICE what they can now. I make the a few $ more than my dad was pre Obama (pre his forced retirement), but my wife has to work too so we can afford about what my family did growing up……math is math, Anyone that can’t see the fact that maybe family’s income did go up during the Obama welfare state, and maybe some ppl are getting paid more now after these INSANE stimulus checks that only like 10% of the money went to covid…. (but anyway) HAS BEEN AND IS A HORRIBLE THING FOR THIS COUNTRY AND ECONOMY in the long run is just ignorant of how economics work. Yea pay went up, BUT NOT AS MUCH AS THE COST OF LIVING DID….it’s simple math In 2021 so far inflation is up 6% (or maybe that was 2020, but either way)!!! In a single year…..!!!??? Hey I made $20k more but hey that house I wanted costs $50k more or that car cost $15k more, or that bottle of coke is $3 instead of $1.75 and milk is $4 instead of $2……gas was half the price it is now only 1-1/2 yes ago! If we don’t fix this mess that Congress and Obama created this country will be totally bankrupt in a matter of years and that’s when the Socialists will REALLY push for socialism and people that don’t remember PRE OBAMA days (good American days) will fall for it too. Just think most jobs USED to do a 3% inflation pay raise every year, now your real real lucky to get 2% but inflation went up 6%. MATH IS MATH
