CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY MARCH 27, 2020
THE $2.2 TRILLION AID PACKAGE PASSED THE SENATE BY UNANIMOUS VOTE WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND NOW GOES TO THE HOUSE WHERE YOU CAN COUNT ON SPEAKER NANCY PELOSI AND OTHER DEMOCRATS AND PROBABLY SOME REPUBLICANS TO LOAD IT UP WITH EVEN MORE SPENDING.
THE SENATE BILL WOULD SEND $1200 TO EVERYONE NOT MAKING MORE THAN $75,000 ACCORDING TO LAST YEAR’S TAX RETURN. BUT WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THAT MONEY RUNS OUT AND THE VIRUS IS STILL RAGING? TONY FAUCI SAYS THE VIRUS RISKS BECOMING A SEASONAL RISK, LIKE REGULAR FLU.
I HAVE RECENTLY ASKED TWO PASTORS WHOSE KNOWLEDGE I RESPECT IF THEY BELIEVE THIS PANDEMIC IS A JUDGMENT FROM GOD. THEY SAY THEY DON’T KNOW AND NEITHER DO I, BUT I DO KNOW THE OLD TESTAMENT REMINDS US THAT PLAGUES SENT BY GOD IN THOSE DAYS TO PUNISH ISRAEL WERE STOPPED WHEN MOSES PRAYED. THAT’S ABOUT THE ONLY GUIDELINE I WOULD SUGGEST NOW. THE EXPERTS ARE WORKING ON MANY THINGS TO STOP THE SPREAD OF THE VIRUS. I KNOW VICE PRESIDENT MIKE PENCE WELL ENOUGH TO SAY HE WOULD AGREE THAT PRAYER IS THE MOST IMPORTANT POWER WE HAVE. SO LET’S PRAY FOR HIM, THE RESEARCHERS, THE FRONT LINE HEALTH WORKERS AND EVERYONE ELSE IN THIS WAR. I’M CAL THOMAS.
