AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce South Carolina has suffered for decades under Republican rule. They gutted healthcare years ago. Now with a Pandemic, they’re failing their communities. Only one Senator appears to care. Vote for him and vote everyone else out of office. Small government works for the Ultra wealthy and not people. These principles have been around since Reconstruction. Without Presidents like TR , FDR , Eisenhower & LBJ our Country would not have gotten better. We can continue to do better with experienced government Employees and responsible Government. I have no doubt we’ll survive & thrive . Vote Trump & hisGOP out!

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Treasury Secretary asks Publicly Traded Corporations to return money taken, that was intended for small businesses under the Payroll Protection Program. 26 million out of work . We should be all thinking about ways to help them survive & thrive. Glad Minuchin did not let these egregious acts go unnoticed. Harvard should return their money too! Community Colleges & other educational facilities need those funds more! $1Billion, of Harvard’s $38 Billion endowment, could pay $50,000 tuition for 22,000 students.

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce South Korea a model for the World. Test, trace, contain the virus. Now Covid cases are at 12. They have few fatalities and never stopped working. The only lines were for masks & gloves. They never hoarded, they have faith in their government and government didn’t disappoint them. They even held elections with Social distancing. They also have 12.3 beds per 1000 patients. A model to emulate.

America Speaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Dr James Hildreth speaks out for testing and protecting the African American, Hispanic & elderly populations at risk. Why are they disproportionately dying from Covid 19? They and most likely poor white Americans in their situation are susceptible to underlying diseases like diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure. Their immune system is weakened. They need treatment, testing and a cure. Living in generational settings & working in over crowded conditions allows Covid to spread throughout their Communities. Be safe. Reconfigure work spaces drastically or we won’t survive.

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?

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Concierge service for wealthy clients when SBA loans were disbursed. Small businesses still waiting for funding. If everyone ( 154 million Americans) had gotten QE for those earning $75,000 or less . The Government would have spent $800 Billion and the people would have gotten $5000 each covering employed and unemployed, Medicare, Medicaid, etc. fair & cheaper

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Planning for Climate Mitigation would have been preferred, however, we were determined to plunder nature and have unleashed a Pandemic. Will we have the will to wean ourselves off fossil fuels? Will China close Wild Markets? Can we meet the needs of our people by staying the course, or must we be disruptive to increase spending on Healthcare, Education, connectedness & infrastructure! Opportunity Knocks, we haven’t turned The tide on Global warming, yet
