       我们怎么来分这块大饼

由民主党主导有史以来最大之三千万亿新冠疫情救助案，今天在众议院进行讨论并会举行投票，预料此案会遇到参院共和党之反对，不会立即通过。但是，就目前我们遭遇到之困境，经过两党之协商，预计六月初川普总统还是会同意发放这笔巨款。

在三千万亿之提案中，有一千万亿是要支持地方及州政府已经面临财政崩溃之窘境，三千万失业大军代表无数家庭之艰难家计，在前线奋战的医疗人员，失去生计之无数小商业，全国都在哀号之中，美利坚共和国何以在短短三个月内如此沉沦。

大家必须记住，这些国会建议的拨款，都是我们纳税人的钱，是我们大家每日辛苦向政府缴纳的税款，绝对不是华府高官们的私人帐户，我们选出的议员及政府高官只是在执行人民付托之政务，必须受到我们的严密监督。

在首都华府正在流行一句话“国会诸公从来没有如此之高效率来通过这些天文数字之预算案”， 因为他们后院已经失火，如果不再拯救处于水深火热之选民，他们的官位也不再保。

今天我们在美国的华亚裔美国人，是我们觉醒的时刻了，我们建议各社区积极组成政治行动委员会，以选票及钞票来积极监督政府之各项预算，选贤以能，真正做到当家做主的角色。

       How Do We Spend $3 Trillion Dollars?

In the U.S. House, Democrats sponsored a $3 trillion dollar coronavirus bill and will bring it to Congress for a vote. Even if it passes through Congress, the Senate will not agree on it. But sooner or later, the bill will pass and President Trump will sign it.

Our country right now is facing the most unprecedented economic downturn in modern history.  More than thirty million people are out of a job and the unemployment rate has climbed to almost twenty percent. Local and state governments are almost out of funds. Just within a short three months, our great nation has turned upside down.

We all know that this three trillion dollars is our taxpayers’ money. This money was paid by all taxpayers to the federal government for elected officials to just carry out their duty to run the government.

In Washington, such “efficiency” had never been seen before in the passing of the coronavirus emergency bill because politicians know the voters are suffering right in their own backyards. If they can’t come to the rescue in a short time, these politicians may not get re-elected.

Today, for us as minority Asian-Americans, it is time like never before that we need to unite as a political action group, to speak up and use our votes and money and get a fair  share of interest in this time of national disaster.

The time has come when we need to choose our candidates very wisely because they are the ones who control our future.
