AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce There is no trickle down & continuing to provide the same inadequate support to the Lower & Middle Classes is shameful.

Another stimulus package is planned. Let’s hope there is a plan for testing and better healthcare outcomes. We can evolve and we’re helping people stay in jobs & recognizing the people’s debt burden. Institutions are flexible and can help all of us!
