Category: Quantitative Easing for the Middle Class

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Finland Basic Income was a success. People felt more secure & happy to follow their dreams or be caretakers, if they wished. With uncertainty in America & with diseases of despair (alcoholism, opioid addiction & suicide) approaching 190,000 before Covid. With Covid we’ve induced more trauma & fiscal uncertainty. A universal basic wage would encourage people to seek help and be healthier &?happier. This is a remedy for unemployment now!

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Oh, no! The GOP deficit hawks are about to cripple our Economy once again. By my reckoning, not enough has gone to the Middle & Lower Classes. A lot of money has bailed out Corporations. Why are they entitled and we’re? Equality Neutral, TR said and we’re not there yet. You can no longer Monetize Hospitals & Nursing Homes. We need standards of care. We need everyone involved in America’s recovery. There is no inflation, there could be deflation. We need to spend now. We’ve needed this spending since Obama was in office. We’ve suffered long enough. Reject deficit hawks, they don’t represent us.

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Severe weather, flooding, tornadoes hit Louisiana & Oklahoma worst leaving factories destroyed. With Covid we were seeing decreases in CO2 yet weather conditions are still worsening? Climate mitigation systems will help abate Covid frequency and Climate catastrophe. We can never return to old ways.

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Trump & TrumpsGOP have failed Americans & the Global Community. Big businesses, cronyism & ineptitude have crippled the Government’s response to a Pandemic as we watch helplessly as 1000’s die and there’s no medical or economic help in site for millions. We have no social safety net. Washington is too busy responding to the needs of Big Businesses & terrorist regimes that are also battling diseases. Meanwhile, Germany & South Korea are thriving on the Post War American Model. Trump & his cronies-don’t deserve the People’s trust. The Army can manage-supply chains. Why not use them to transport food & supplies to those in need?

Can we open the Economy? Not until we have almost a Billion tests for our population. We have to keep people safe and maintain social distancing in life & the workplace. Otherwise, we’ll have many waves of this virus. Be safe. Think Big! & we’ll survive & thrive. … More AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce #EPI #25 Trump Strikes OUT!

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce An opinion piece, I agree with: this is a pivotal moment in American politics. Stay with the Conservative Movement & employees have no benefits and the Corpirations have no rules or responsibilities & Government is hobbled and can’t defend us against Pandemics or dwindling resources they’re creating. Or opt out of dystopia, oligarchy and plot a new course that includes the rights of people. Giving us better healthcare, education and WiFi/broadband connectedness. The choice is ours. Small government & Trump have failed us. The blending of Corporate & government agendas has failed us . Opportunity Knocks for Regulation, anti trust, clean air & water.

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce How is it possible, that large Corporations can terminate employees & their healthcare? One day this Pandemic will end & no one should work for any large Corporation withoutUnions, Healthcare, paid leave & a seat at the Corporate Table. What’s a person & family to do? Are we in a Plutocracy? No responsibility toward employees. Corporations don’t suffer, they don’t bleed, we do!

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce As we suffer from unemployment, blame Trump! The Relief Bill was to keep people employed. Instead, real estate moguls & hedge funds are profiting. One way Trump benefits and we the People lose! This administration is pro business. Ignore the rhetoric and think Unions, pay with dignity, healthcare & education, and a Country that cares about 330 millionAmericans.

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Change Corporate Governance & don’t bail out Corporations. They failed to have a cash cushion or pay for workers. Don’t go back to old ways. Unionize, break up monopolies, add a transaction tax, assure Corporations follow the ESG’s. ; pay employees, give them a seat at the table, be mindful of the environment & no buybacks. We don’t want business as usual.

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Think big. A 100 million tests a week , isolating the +’s from those exposed and recovered. Then we can go back to work. We can’t without testing. The key to resuming work is testing, social distancing, protective gear for everyone. The never exposed need a vaccine. The earliest I’ve heard is September. Meanwhile, more support financial and medical is required. Essential workers should be the first to be tested.
