The government recently passed the CARES Act. While this legislation does soften the blow of entrepreneurs and employees being forced out of work, government aid is not a bottomless pit. Stimulus checks can only counteract so much financial devastation. At some point, our nation will have to get back to work. If our economy remains closed for even one or two more months — let alone 12 to 18 — we won’t have a country to come back to.
This is serious business.
The Cure Cannot be Worse than the Problem
As the fight against COVID-19 continues, we must remember the great words from President Trump: the cure cannot be worse than the problem.
Our people want to return to work. They will practice Social Distancing and all else, and Seniors will be watched over protectively & lovingly. We can do two things together. THE CURE CANNOT BE WORSE (by far) THAN THE PROBLEM! Congress MUST ACT NOW. We will come back strong!

Destroying the economy will make coronavirus look like child’s play. Every single problem happening now will be magnified by (at least) one thousand without jobs, economic stimulation, and hope. Crime increases, depression, suicides, physical ailments, mental health challenges, and worse are only the beginning of what will come if proponents of longterm lockdowns get their way.
