Bad News for Canada as a resource based country that depends heavily on exports. We are screwed. Canada makes nothing the world needs right now. Canada needs major economic reform to maintain our quality of living. Meanwhile our leading political party is ripping us off. And nobody is going after communist China for compensation or is still doing business with them?

U.S. budget deficit climbs to record $2.81-trillionThe nation’s budgetary shortfall is expected to eventually reach levels for the fiscal year that ends Sept. 30 more than double the largest annual deficit on record It might be worth it if the US Gov’t was using the $ to help its citizens through a worldwide pandemic with policies based on science and with the intention of keeping everyone safe and whole. Instead, $ going to Corp’s, friends of Gov’t and Politicians. Criminal negligence! They can fix it by cutting foreign aid, stop bailouts, cease funding for the wall, etc. Once figures are so astronomical, that to reach the end of the zeros, one must move at speed of light and it still would take years to make it to the end, it makes no difference where they go. They will only go up and up, till debt forgiveness for all is implemented by all govts.
