Trumps response to the corona virus should be getting a mixed review. During Obama's first term we were going through one of the worst recessions. People I know were losing everything. Heard of more than one person in my industry that killed themselves over it. Millions lost their home. The banks were allowed to foreclose, take over other banks, and ended up with billions in the end. Trumps approach was to immediately stop foreclosures and evictions. They lowered the fed rate down enough that banks can survive.
During the start of the recession, I owed about $38000 on my first and $18,000 on my second, with a value of about $350,000. I also owned a free and clear office worth about $240,000 and a free and clear rental of around $90,000. In two years my home was worth about $130000, my rental $45,000 and I ended up selling my office for $88,000 to stop the foreclosure on my home. The banks were foreclosing on everything they could. I had 15 years left on my first and just dropping the payments down so that it would still be a 15 year loan would have saved me around $150,000 to $200000 loss. They would not talk to me. Why would they. They knew if they foreclosed they could gain $100,000 or more immediately and much more if they waited.

Just stopping the foreclosures and evictions has helped to keep up the real estate industry. This in term, has helped millions keep their homes and preserved their jobs. Even Todd has admitted he is buying a new home in the middle of this pandemic. If I have heard what he has said in the past, he didn't buy in 2010, even though prices were probably 1/4th what they are now.

As bad as Trump is, it could be much, much worse. We could be looking at millions of people losing their homes. Millions losing their jobs, and billions of dollars be transferred into big monies hands. Long term his approach could backfire. So far it appears to be holding steady. And, this folks, is what will probably win Trump another term.

Am I better off than I was 10 years ago... yes. Am I better off than I was 8 years ago... Agian yes. And probably better off than I was 6 years ago. Am I better off today than I was 4 years ago... probably not, but I was 6 months ago before this crisis started, and I could easily recover.

All my bills are up to date, and, because I am being cautious, I actually have more in the bank than I did 6 months ago. Income is down, but that could change in at any time. My true wealth has gone up during the crisis, as I still have my home and rental, which are going up in value rapidly.

Todd.... It definitely sounds like you are better off financially today than you were 4 years ago. So explain, how you are financially worse off, how your life has been personally effected negatively by Trumps actions, and how you have caught the virus because of his actions.
