COVID-19 Senate Bill H.R.748 Cheats Average USA Citizens with No Environmental Accountability
3/23/20 4:47am — The GOP endorsed H.R.748 — Middle Class Health Benefits Tax Repeal Act of 2019 failed to protect millions of USA workers or fix the broken health care system during the COVID19 event while offering a huge corporate bailouts that will protect those with the most assets with no protections for workers and families, and virtually no oversight to the money recipients. More Golf? Who gives almost $1.75 Trillion Dollars (seventeen hundred billion) taxpayer money away with no oversight?
That’s $5000 each for three hundred million people, while the president is talking about $3000 per family of four. That’s maybe $750 per person in a plan to give only for $250 billion in direct payments to citizens with $4000 per 300 million citizens left over, in my very round, solar powered calculator at night numbers. $250 billion is about one seventh or 14.3% of $1.7 Trillion. The US Economy can lose a few million here and there, and the deficit will have to absorb it? Do you read this and think “What can I do?” That’s great, because most people wont even read this unless I add a meme.
The U.S. debt to Gross Domestic Product ratio for 2Q2019 is around 103%. That’s over $22 trillion U.S. debt as of June 28, 2019, divided by the $19.2 trillion Gross Domestic Product. Bond investors use 103% to figure if a country has enough income to pay off its debt. Pretty Crazy. I’m no accountant, just a fireside philosopher, but it seems we are over the limit by 3% right now and they want to add another $1.7 Trillion, or about .75% to put us almost 4% short from even? With less than $300 billion going to the majority of US citizens who are really suffering and facing real financial disruption? It seems the world bank thinks a debt to Gross Domestic Product ratio of 80% is good, so the USA is way past that limit. maybe I should not wake up and read the computer at night.
With the 12 zeros of trillions floating around I/DjC guesses nobody cares? What’s in your wallet? I/ care. The US Gross national product is about $19 Trillion. How many people exactly is he talking about giving how much money to? Only 2.1 million voted in 2016, so where does the rest of it go exactly? To “corporations” who are really groups of investors not making as much as they planned? This money lacks any requirements for more sustainable environmental management or use of non carbon fuels. This money does not require the airlines or cruise industry to be more efficient, or reduce Carbon dioxide emissions.
Climate change is still building up, and will not go away after a few months like COVID-19. Billions of people, your grandchildren and theirs, are going to suffer unimaginable harm and terror from climate change if we, the people of the 21st century fail to make drastic changes to our energy systems starting now. My project is earthlobbyist.com, founded in 2018 to meet climate change deniers where they live and vote because I know Money Can Fix Climate Change
Citizens must demand transparency and accountability (through shareware available to the public) to see whats going on here as we spend time socially distancing in a shuttered economy that is leaving millions facing a pack of wolves at the door. I am deeply aggravated that average people who have credit debt are not even on the radar of conversation when they are facing late charges, interest rate bump ups, late fees and late fees. People with car loans will face repossessions while property owners with mortgages will face foreclosure. None of this in the conversation I/DjC can see.
