Category: Quantitative Easing for the Middle Class

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Millions are laid off without a safety net. QE for those in need should have been $4500 Minimum. The working class has no cushion! Unemployment insurance is $385 & won’t cover expenses. Long lines and no severance from Industries that poured Billions in buybacks

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce $4500 per person for 154 Million is proposed as a Bailout for the Middle & Lower Classes. That’s $700 Billion! Give it in one lump sum. For stimulus to be effective and relieve debt, disease and stress, give the money all at once or its like giving nothing. Do not Bailout Major Corporations, especially Marriott, who’s letting go of employees without paid leave. Support Main Street and the money will circulate.

The Asian Countries have a culture & responsive Governance to treat Pandemics. We could learn from them. Their countries have not ground to a halt. They have testing & equipment to handle respiratory symptoms & government mechanisms to order Quarantine , identify hot spots and limit contagion. Contact them, they’re controlling viral infection.

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Service workers are vulnerable to loss of income, their needs are not addressed. Hotels & restaurant workers will lose wages and require the same medical & paid sick leave package quarantined to W2’s. QE for Middle & Lower Classes would be worthwhile for those struggling, working or not, young & old. $5000 to 154 million Americans costs $770 Billion and is a true Stimulus package. No more tax cuts and money to sectors when so many will suffer.
