All of this free stuff, mandated by a made up public health emergency which was simply another flu, is going to destroy our economy.
The dollar used to be backed by something. Even when the US moved away from the Gold Standard under FDR, the dollar was still backed by something. In order to earn a dollar, you had to do a dollar's worth of work, or provide a dollar's worth of goods.
