CORONAVIRUS COVID-19 UPDATES 3/23/2020: US Senate's Second Attempt To Approve Stimulus Fails

We can see why fellow Americans are angry right now — earlier today, the US Senate’s second pass at approving emergency stimulus for the country reportedly failed to get enough support. Yet, if media reports are to be believed, at least four of these same Senators swiftly sold their personal stock holdings in American companies the same day they received privileged information on the scope of the COVID-19 coronavirus outbreak in the West, which originated in Wuhan, China late last year, taking the world by storm.

COVID-19 has had a major impact on the US and Europe since emerging out of Wuhan, China late last year.

US stock markets are now reportedly below the values they were at when President Trump took office in January 2017.

Politicians in DC seem to be failing the country; now is not the time for partisan politics, most voters agree, and it is certainly not the time for what appears to be privileged insider trading by some of these Senators, at a time when doing so is tantamount to war profiteering — President Trump, after all, has likened the current situation to a “war time” in which we all need to make sacrifices and act in the best interest of the country.
