As we begin to sink into the serious business of this coronavirus pandemic, Americans are being told to brace for grim days.

We are still perhaps two weeks out from seeing the “peak” of the virus here in the United States, where thousands of deaths per day could be coming at us from the nightly news. It’s going to be a somber, hallowed time here in America, but, with the small sacrifices we are making today, we may have saved ourselves from the worst of it.

Then, as we emerge from the other side of this lonely, diet version of Purgatory, we will need to ask ourselves just how it got so bad? So quick? Many will then be pointing a finger squarely at China, as their data begins to look ever more suspicious thanks to the work of western scientists. If there was a purposeful or strategic reason for their incompetence, you can bet that there will be hell to pay.

On US lawmaker is already brainstorming Beijing’s recompense.

Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) argues China should consider waiving some of that debt given the communist nation’s role in the spread of the COVID-19/coronavirus. During an interview that aired on Huntsville, AL radio WVNN’s “The Jeff Poor Show,” when asked, Blackburn explained ways to hold China accountable for the global pandemic, noting her effort to officially recognize China’s role and the debtor relationship the United States has with China. “Indeed there is,” Blackburn replied. “One of the things is my Senate Resolution 553, which it expresses the sense of the Senate — that we know this came from Wuhan, China, and that they hid the information and were not transparent, that they blocked the World Health Organization and the CDC from coming into help. They tried to blame it on the U.S. military. And we hold them accountable.”

Blackburn had a little bit of a trade in mind.

“I will tell you I think we need to look at the fact that China owns over a trillion dollars of our debt,” she said. “They like investing in us. Why do they like that? Because we are a safe debt for them — a safe place for them to put their money. And knowing that they have made a global pandemic worse than it ever would have been because of their action — they should waive some of our debt. They have caused us a tremendous amount of loss of life, loss of businesses, suffering, inconvenience, shutting down our economy.”

If a lump sum payment from China were to coincide with the restarting of the American economy, we can get ready to ring in a new roaring ’20’s.
