I'm Just Saying...

I want to desperately believe that our government is efficiently run and can solve problems, I REALLY WANT TO BELIEVE THAT no matter who is in office.

I'd like to believe that our government took preventative measures minimize the amount of infected people coming into the country because I can't see every decision made and every action being taken.

I want to believe that our government is taking the actions necessary so that life can get back to normal and I don't have to worry if I'm going to be homeless in the near future.

But it's hard to believe if Trump won't give straight answers; it's hard to believe if Trump only gives vague answers; it's hard to believe if Trump is going to tell us it's up to the states but my state's governor (Mr. Ron DeSantis) is saying we'll do what the federal government recommends; it's hard to believe when someone asks the President what is your administration doing and his answer is "a lot." That doesn't help me build confidence at all.

I'm just saying that I'm anxious. Like many others, I could lose everything if something doesn't give. I'm just saying that I need clear guidance, and I have none.

'It's a sh-- sandwich': Republicans rage as Florida becomes a nightmare for Trump

Already anxious about Trump’s chances in the nation’s biggest swing state, Republicans now are dealing with thousands of unemployed workers unable to navigate the Florida system to apply for help. And the blowback is directed straight at Trump’s top allies in the state, Gov. Ron DeSantis and Sen. Rick Scott.


Privately, Republicans admit that the $77.9 million system that is now failing Florida workers is doing exactly what Scott designed it to do — lower the state’s reported number of jobless claims after the great recession.
