    It is a politician's dream. Spending (hooray) without taxing (boo!) and then leave some other politician to clean up the mess. It's terrible we allow them to get away with it.

    So what's the revolt about and against whom, or are you conservatives just blowing smoke because of your frustrations?

    The only way out of the economic mess and more debt is revolution, otherwise nothing will change and you will sink in an ocvean of debt

    Sinking in an ocean of debt is where we are going. Perhaps more accurately it is sinking in a sea of stupidity and selfishness.

    I see lots of coronavirus jokes and cartoons on Facebook and in my email. No panic that I can see.

    Panic = a 2 trillion dollar "aid" package with no idea where the money will come from and but little more idea where the money will go. With that kind of money, you could simply give all three hundred million Americans over six thousand dollars each. They will give money to the unemployed. They will give money to the employed. They will give money to the arts including the Kennedy Arts Center. It is an outrage. They could have started with a tenth of that and then promised to revisit the issue in a month, but in an election year, with votes at stake, it wouldn't pay to act responsibly, so instead we have this.

    Maybe it's enough for 4 mos, maybe it's not. If not, we get another bill for a trill or two!

    Of course it is panic, panic at the highest level

    I would say a lot of fear by everybody, but panic? Of the billions affected by the crisis, infected or not, of course some will panic, like that poor deluded couple who OD'd on fish tank cleaner.
