Over the next few weeks government aid will be running out and based upon previous responses, some think it was not worth the investment. While others barely survived as a result of this lifeline. We heard stories about businesses that got money that didn't need it, and about people collecting more on unemployment than if they were working. So, what is a government to do? We realize that whatever money is allocated will affect the national debt. We also realize that there are millions who are suffering for various reasons, no work, compromised health issues, children at home because of remote learning, just to name a few.

In this weeks discussion, you are asked to come up with a plan to rectify the pandemic problem. It is enormous and there is no blueprint or model to fall back on, because this is a first in over 100 years! Specifically, your task is to:

Develop a plan and show who it will help and how.

Explain how long it will need to last and why.

Project how it will be paid for.

And... explain why your plan is better.
