All the lockdown did was temporarily lower the infection rate.

No, it stopped uncontrolled community spread.

Not following guidelines afterwards is what made it a waste.

Japan gave up 20% of their economy. Canada did well too. I mean, just google it. This isn’t an understanding economics thing. This is a “America wont do for their own citizens what other countries did for theirs”

stop using the economy as a shield. We aren’t discussing that. Because the state of it pre covid could’ve propped up Americans if the books were rebalanced.

Rebalance the books like Trump has been accused of with his private businesses?

It stopped it temporarily because it's now just as bad again.
It isn't going to stop until there's a vaccine or people protect themselves.

No, it's much, much worse now. Instead of uncontrolled community spread in a few metropolitan areas, you now have uncontrolled community spread in cities, suburbs and rural areas.

It's going to get ugly.

And the reason it was temporary is because people didn't follow guidelines after the shutdown.

The budget bro. The current budget.

They can't balance the budget with the amount of debt there is.
You can't just fake that shit and change numbers.
The only way to balance the current budget is to drastically cut spending which goes against the bigger bailout that you want.
And then of course there's the matter of paying off the national debt which requires more income to the government.

That's why I said people need to protect themselves.

Google it! It’s done all the time! Especially when fema requires more funds due to hurricanes. You don’t know what you’re talking about.

You are extremely naive when it comes to economics.
Those FEMA funds come from the government and add to the national debt.

Clinton managed to balance the budget. It requires military cuts and tax increases on the wealthy and large corporations.

True, but the national debt is largely a debt the US owes itself, as a reserve currency, we can literally never run out of money.

What?! Not all of it adds to the debt. That’s up to leadership if they want to shuffle things around or not. Bro I gotta know where the hell do you get your information from?!

You're correct and the national debt was getting close to paid off. I voted for him twice. Then under Bush the dotcom bust costs stopped the momentum towards getting the debt paid off. Then the real estate market crashed and the debt has been growing ever since then.
