Hazard pay?

The govt can go into as much imaginary debt as it wants so long as it's giving me its fake money.

What debt? Wake up, debt is a scam. It's a number they project. We and everyone else until the earth explodes will pay taxes. Debt? Jesus christ

The Real Owner of the U.S. Debt Will Surprise You

"The public holds $17.1 trillion of the national debt. Foreign governments and investors hold 39% of it. Individuals, banks, and investors hold 17%. The Federal Reserve holds 11%. Mutual funds hold 9%. State and local governments own 5%. The rest is held by pension funds, insurance companies, and Savings Bonds."

"If you add the debt held by Social Security and all the retirement and pension funds, almost half of the U.S. Treasury debt is held in trust for your retirement. If the United States defaults on its debt, foreign investors would be angry, but current and future retirees would be hurt the most."


Could You Survive Hyperinflation?

"Hyperinflation starts when a country's government begins printing money to pay for its spending. As it increases the money supply, prices rise as in regular inflation. An increase in the money supply is one of the two causes of inflation. The other is demand-pull inflation. It occurs when a surge in demand outstrips supply, sending prices higher. "


"The most recent example of hyperinflation is in Venezuela.4 Prices rose 41% in 2013, 63% in 2014, 121% in 2015, 481% in 2016, 1,642% in 2017, 2,880% in 2018, and (a projected) 3,497% in 2019. In 2017, the government increased the money supply by 14%.5 It is promoting a new cryptocurrency, the "petro," because the bolivar lost almost all its value against the U.S. dollar.6 It can't afford the cost of printing new paper currency. The International Monetary Fund projected prices to rise 13,000% in 2018.
In response, people began using eggs as currency. A carton of eggs was worth 250,000 bolivars compared to 6,740 bolivars in January 2017. Unemployment rose to 21%, similar to the U.S. rate during the Great Depression. "

Heavy across the board taxes would be the only way for the government to erase its debt while giving all of us "Hero" workers $25,000. No thank you.

It's a stupid sum. How much ing debt are these out of touch politicians going to strap our kids and grandkids with? Jefferson said no generation should borrow more than they can pay back in their lifetimes and somewhere along the way we ed that up too.

It’s an insane amount, thought I saw $25,000 per essential worker. Don’t think that would ever get passed, as it shouldn’t.

Hero's pay , HAHAHAHAHA

That's what they are calling it. I laughed too.
Most true heroes are dead.

The word hero has been watered down so much that it has little to no meaning anymore.

That was back when money was gold backed. Now you just print it. As long as the dollar doesn't hyper inflate run those presses like late air.

The word hero has been watered down so much that it has little to no meaning anymore.

My old man is a combat veteran from the Vietnam War. I remember someone referring to him as a hero while he was talking with a group of friends. He looked the guy dead in the eye and said, “Don’t call me an friend’ing hero.”

Chances are that it will also exclude companies with 500 or more employees...

What businesses are essential that have less than 500 employees? Not many. Gov specifically called UPS essential
