Why Does America Have To Borrow Trillions And Not Singapore, Taiwan, And South Korea?

[DanieRains]

They don't have (who)?

It is amazing how "the media" seems to ignore the fact that some countries didn't collapse with sick people everywhere.

Why?

Same answer.

Imagine the "greatest country on earth" having the best "response" to the virus in the world.

Having smart people in charge, planning, preparing, and executing a PLAN.

Imagine.

Sad....

3. It's a two fold problem.

We overspend on a bloated military, corporate welfare and tax cuts for the rich. This results in less tax revenue to afford stuff that regular people need, like healthcare, family medical leave, free education, and mobilize any rapid, all of govt approach to big, national disasters.

Both problems are fixable.

4. Singapore, Taiwan and South Korea had a system in place and acted without delay

Testing, contact tracing, forced quarantine - this is not rocket science. They also had a big stockpile of masks, and universal health insurance
