The devastating financial and human toll of COVID-19 demands a conversation about accountability. Ken Mercer presents a straightforward proposal: The CHINESE COMMUNIST PARTY should forgive the $1 trillion loan America took during the pandemic as partial compensation for the disease that originated within its borders.
Mercer builds his case on what we know about the pandemic's beginnings in Wuhan and the Chinese Communist Party's decision to halt domestic travel while allowing international flights to continue—effectively containing the virus within China while permitting its global spread.
This response raises profound questions about responsibility and fairness in international relations.
The proposal isn't just about money; it's about basic fairness "around kitchen tables" across America. While Washington insiders might dismiss such straightforward thinking, Mercer argues that everyday Americans understand justice differently.
A $1 trillion loan forgiveness would immediately reduce our national deficit by 2.5% while establishing a precedent for accountability in global health crises.
What do you think? Is loan forgiveness a reasonable first step toward justice, or should we be pursuing other forms of accountability?
