Returning the country to prosperity is the most important thing President Trump can do to ensure his re-election.\u00a0 But it is also a herculean task on a scale that\u2019s hard to even imagine.\u00a0 Think of all the mom and pop businesses like restaurants and beauty parlors that have been shut down, all the bars and dollar stores that have had to lay off their workers and are quickly eating up their cash reserves on overhead while revenues have dropped to zero.\u00a0 It\u2019s going to take the wisdom of a Solomon combined with the strategic skills of Napoleon to put Humpty Dumpty back together again.\u00a0 It\u2019s going to require cash infusions on a scale that hasn\u2019t been seen since the Second World War.\u00a0 We\u2019ve been getting used to the word trillion because of idiots like Bernie Sanders and AOC tossing it around in their Green New Deal but unfortunately, we\u2019re about to find out what that word really means.\u00a0 We\u2019re about to find out how many trillions of dollars it takes to defibrillate the US economy back to life.\u00a0 But it has to be done.<\/p>\n
Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer are going to drag their heels and try to poison pill the whole thing with their liberal wish list.\u00a0 Luckily the President can call them out on it and use the bully pulpit to paint them as villains starving the American people when they\u2019re in need of a crust of bread to get them on their feet again.\u00a0 And that\u2019s exactly what he will do.\u00a0 He\u2019ll need to use all his skills to battle both the Democrats and the medical bureaucrats who think the country can last until the 22nd<\/sup> century without a paycheck.\u00a0 But he\u2019ll do it.\u00a0 He\u2019s aware that this is the fight of his life and one he has to win both for himself and for the country.\u00a0 Letting the Democrats kill the small businesses of the United States would effectively change this into a third world nation.\u00a0 And that\u2019s exactly what they want.<\/p>\n I think the President realizes that he is going to have to bail out just about everybody but the billionaires.\u00a0 And he\u2019ll have to be shrewd enough to recognize how the billionaires are going to try to game this thing to their advantage.\u00a0 Corporations that try to use the handouts to feather their nests while throwing their employees onto the bread lines need to be given a taste of the stick instead of the carrot.\u00a0 Small businesses will be the hardest hit.\u00a0 They will need hefty grants and basically interest free loans to restart.\u00a0 And some businesses whose profitability was already marginal before this catastrophe are just not going to make it at all.\u00a0 And so that means providing public works projects that will soak up a lot of the unemployed who worked for companies that aren\u2019t coming back.\u00a0 But it also means the government is going to have to encourage big business to expand domestic employment.\u00a0 The only way to do that is to force industrial production back to the United States.\u00a0 But you can\u2019t start something like that on a dime.\u00a0 That won\u2019t be ramped all the way up for a year or two.\u00a0 For now, the Federal government will be the money supply that funds corporations to employ the masses.\u00a0 What an awful mess that\u2019s going to be.\u00a0 But that\u2019s what\u2019s going to happen.\u00a0 A full court press to save the victims of this crazy lockdown from ending up on welfare.<\/p>\n My guess is when all is said and done it will cost ten trillion dollars basically half of the GDP of the United States for 2019.\u00a0 That\u2019s $10,000,000,000,000.\u00a0 That\u2019s a ridiculous number.\u00a0 But shutting down a country of three hundred and thirty million people is a ridiculous thing to do.\u00a0 So here we go.\u00a0 This will be D-Day, the Manhattan Project, the Apollo Program, the Marshall Plan and the Civilian Conservation Corps all rolled up into one and accelerated into a couple of months.\u00a0 What an awful mess it\u2019s going to be.\u00a0 Well, I\u2019ve always enjoyed a good action adventure story.\u00a0 Let\u2019s hope this one is a happily ever after story.\u00a0 Ten years ago, we saw the one that didn\u2019t end well.\u00a0 Luckily the hero of the story is different this time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Returning the country to prosperity is the most important thing President Trump can do to ensure his re-election.\u00a0 But it is also a herculean task<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5,6],"tags":[2371,2372,2431],"class_list":["post-10575","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-current-events","category-trump","tag-coronavirus","tag-covid-19","tag-defibrillating-the-us-economy-back-to-life"],"yoast_head":"\n
