As Trump continues to stir up fury over his election defeat, we must understand that when public officials, the police, and the military act above the law, anarchy ensues. These people, including Donald Trump, took an oath to serve and protect the public. And yet, in the last 35 years there have been more instances of lawlessness on our streets. When America has been subject to years of bogus politics, political corruption now at the highest levels we have seen in decades has increased the number of millions of impoverished people to unprecedented levels. Not since the Great Depression has the United States seen such widespread homelessness, hunger, and poverty.

The lifeline that Congress has thrown down today in hopes of rescuing the American public appears to be attached to an anchor. An anchor that will only draw millions more into a sea of ​​hopelessness and despair. As Congress has done so many times in the last few decades when there is a crisis, Johnny is always on the spot to bail out the haves while the have-nots continue to fall. What they did with this latest stimulus is a good example.

As widespread fear and anxiety continue to sweep the world caused by this mutant strain of Covid-19, there has yet to be any real encouraging verification that vaccines developed in record time actually prevent you from contracting this virus. mortal and other mutations that are now coming to the surface. When other countries scrambled to act once the pandemic hit in February and opted to provide vital economic support to their citizens, the US did not. While other countries issued security protocols and restrictions were put in place, the United States was again too little too late. Consequently, we have the highest death rate of any country in the world. Not only that, but Congress has continued to fail the American public ever since.

This latest sign that Congress is helping the general public with the passage of this latest stimulus deal has made it clear that they are very concerned about the deficit and their own pocketbooks. This, when the country is falling apart. Today, so many Republicans and even some Democrats remain totally paralyzed by the polarization of partisan loyalties while constantly and continually ignoring what is good and necessary for the country. They arguably forgot the hallowed words spoken by JFK when he said, “Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country.” We should remind these political expediency gurus that to provide economic stability in times of crisis is to adhere to Williams’ Theory of Economic Evolution. He states that when there are more people with enough disposable income to spend, save, pay off debt, and invest, it is the greatest discovery of an unstable economy. Even before this pandemic, this nation had and still has the largest wealth disparity gap in our history, thereby creating less financial stability and more economic hardship for most Americans. And, now, with the acute health crisis caused by this pandemic, it has also caused the biggest humanitarian crisis that we have right now.

Never before in modern times have we seen such arrogance and total defiance of the needs of countries in times of great crisis as now. Congress has shown by their examples that they have transformed themselves not only into a body of self-serving bureaucrats, but also into entities hostile to the American people they are sworn to serve. As other countries like Australia and New Zealand and even Canada have responded to this global pandemic, they have successfully curbed the dire consequences that are being attributed to the Covid-19 virus and in doing so are providing all of their citizens with the financial resources to maintain their stable countries. In Australia and New Zealand each citizen receives a monthly stimulus of $1,500 and Canada’s monthly stimulus is $2,000 until next spring. America, meanwhile, certain members of our Congress continue to reject any effort to stabilize our country.

What our Congress is doing is holding the American people hostage at a time of great urgency to act to prevent what is now a growing humanitarian catastrophe. And do you think this latest direct cash stimulus of $600 one-time injection into people’s pockets is going to be enough? It’s time for people to rally behind a unified effort to get Congress to re-pass another vital and needed stimulus bill with monthly cash payments of $2,000 through November 2021 for all Americans whose annual income falls below $150,000. Failure to do so will only prevent further economic devastation, more acute poverty, and a greater chance that this pandemic will continue to devastate the country.
