Throwing money at a problem may offer temporary relief but it does not fix the problem.
Republicans are very good at throwing money at problems, although they accuse the Democrats of doing it.
They hate government and have a very difficult time trying to make it work. We see it first hand today.
Rather than pay unemployment benefits to laid-off workers, they would prefer to mail them a one-time check.
Rather than test the people for coronavirus, they would prefer to just talk about it. Nobody makes lemonade out of lemons better than Republicans.
Stock market in freefall? No problem. Get the Fed to give them a $trillion and a half dollars.
Big corporations eat their seed corn. No problem. Bail them out with billions of dollars.
But they never fix the problems.
