Why isn't the private sector capable of saving itself?

You realize it is going up as a response to the promise of government intervention. There is nothing in corporate earnings or investment that is driving this. So you have government intervention increasing stock values.

It will not continue to rise unless it becomes possible restart economic activity or the government provides more support as the quiet time in the economy adds up.

Why is Trump adding an additional $1trillion to our debt???

Socialism works

Only if you (D)o it right.

I’m saving this for the next time Conan or Cratic say socialism has never worked anywhere it has ever been tried

That’s fine, this video game is not real life and it’s here for entertainment purposes only. Live vicariously through it as you wish.

:hugs:

thats great. although i was talking about when i was a child, but can you answer my question?

I agree. Government should be taking care of people’s children for them.

im not the one who is calling the relief “socialism” so it’s not on me to have to define it

ask the “OPer”

you agree with what? i made no such claim. you’re just making things up as though i said them.

i did ask this though, which you haven’t answered yet:

lol. cute nice try

I guess Bernie isn’t a Socialist after all :man_shrugging:

I think perhaps IRYW and now you are ridiculing imaginary arguments that no one is making. This is a pandemic. Like wars, it requires government involvement.
Is anyone really arguing otherwise?

you’re avoiding one i already asked you

i am curious why you dont think people should be helped

Wars require government involvement because the government owns and operates military equipment. Are you saying the government owns and operates private business during a pandemic? You don’t think private individuals should be able to decide amongst each other how they want to fight a pandemic?

Weren’t ya’ll just saying last week the Federal Government should stay out of it and leave it up to the States?

Where does it say in the Constitution that during a pandemic, the government can take control of private business and socialize our economy?

So socialism in the name of public health is ok now? Where are the churches?

huh?

no excuse for what?

i dont think you are taking your own thread seriously.

you keep posting deflections and made up narratives

relief in a time of a national, global crisis is not socialism

A broken healthcare system is a crisis as well… so would you have a problem with Medicare for all?
