PBS NewsHour full episode, Mar 18, 2020

About those stimulus payments, if a trillion dollars in checks gets sent out almost 50% of that money will have to be paid to landlords immediately, halving the effect of the effort.  The obvious answer is that landlords must also be asked to take a step back on the rents they're due to collect from people who cannot work because their businesses are closed.  Of course landlords will be right to say that they have mortgages to pay and so, the obvious answer to that is; the bankers and financial services need to step back as well.  In effect, we must all step back together to protect our country and our economy. 





Trump has so damaged the Presidency that we must realize that the honor system cannot be so heavily relied upon because Presidents can, not only be crooked, but they can collude with foreign and adversarial governments to Americas harm. For one, I think the Justice department needs to be made into a Forth Branch of government all by itself where it's leadership needs the approval of a number of votes from each party, not just approval by the party currently in power, same with the Judiciary.
