A nice legacy we will leave for our kids and their offspring. Sunny ways my friends, sunny ways.

After this world health crisis ends, our country will be in better shape than 98% of the rest of the world.

I have read that Fort Knox, does not hold all the gold the USA claims is in there. Their currency is propped up by false claims.

That's been a conspiracy theory for decades ... they say the gold was moved out long ago, and then they got the idea to just not back the currency anymore ... apparently some countries asked for their gold back (Knox was used to safely store other country's gold) and the US refused. Who knows what the truth is...

So, what does that matter? We're still in big trouble financially.

I can tell you, he (or rather the tax payer) is going to need a lot more than $82 billion to fix this economic damage.

Exactly, 82billion will be no where near what it's going to cost, go back and look at the history of flu, starting in 1918 to now, I know there was less advancements in medicine compared to today, but there was also a lot less people traveling and to spread the virus

The gold in Fort Knox is irrelevant. The US began abandoning gold backing in the depression and the value of their $ has been fully independent of gold since the early 70s.

This is bad:

This would give a minority government the ability to tax and spend without any support from Parliament. Regardless of what your political stripe is everyone needs to understand how bad this is. We would have an unaccountable government when it comes to our money.
