what side of the aisle are you on the bailouts democrats or republicans save the employees or corps . and small business owners?
no wrong answer just wrong philosophy. honestly i am with the democrats. i may be for trump but this is why i am not a gop or capitalist. i am a fiscal moderate who rather have spread the wealth but not as extreme as socialists and liberals

First of all, I don't think there IS a good solution to this problem. Presidents and politicians want to say 'Well, we'll just do -this- and that will fix everything." But it's not like that. We are faced with only bad choices and the job is to pick the least bad.
The trickle-down approach, so popular for the last 40 years, is that yet another big tax cut to the rich and corporations, financed by debt, will fix everything. I contend this doesn't really help the problem. It's just exploiting the problem to do what they wanted to do all along.
I'd prefer to see a trickle-up approach, where tax cuts and perhaps even cash gifts go to PEOPLE, including the too-many of us struggling just to hold on to their home and put food on the table. People will not use this money to buy back their own stock, to give execs a bonus, or to fire employees and move their operation to China. People will SPEND this money, and that will actually stimulate the economy.
Trump's favorite solution seems to be to just give HIM a couple trillion for him to use however he wants, with no oversight. (He FIRED the oversight people before the money was even decided on!) He's trying to use the crisis to his own advantage.
As no doubt you have noticed, the GOP is no longer the Party of Fiscal Responsibility. They are the party of Borrow and Spend, and they're led by a man whose family business owes nearly a billion dollars, and who can't borrow more because he's defaulted on loans so many times no US bank will lend him any more.
A liberal is some one who is willing to respect or accept behavior or opinions different from one's own, they are open to new ideas and they are favorable to or respectful of individual rights and freedoms. In a political context liberals favor individual liberty, free trade, and moderate political and social reform.
I am not a liberal, I am a libertarian socialist, left of liberals (who are moderately right wing)
As for the bailouts there are two main thoughts of economics represented by Friedrich Hayek and John Maynard Keynes. While both have merits, I am with Keynes myself. (only problem is governments usually fail to pull back in investing in infrastructure, when the economy is fine)Thomas Piketty is also an interesting economist. I am for helping those who are out of work, despite the increase in budget deficit. Failing to do so could collapse the economy.
Those supporting business over workers aren't really capitalist, if they were they would let the market sort it out. You know, cull the weak.
Is it just me or is calling a company with 10,000 employees seem to be stretching it a bit? I guess it doesn't really matter since big ones like Carnival and Boeing will get theirs too.
I think the bailout should not happen, and the government should not force people not to work. But definitely the corporations should not get bailouts. If we are forcing people not to work, then the government should pay them, not the corporations.
The Dems also worked in $25M to the Kennedy Center for Performing Arts. That kind of pork in a disaster bill is a reason I will never vote Democrat. No one cares about an orchestra in Washington DC.
