3-30   Creation of Prime Minister’s Citizen Assistance and Relief in Emergency Situations (PM CARES) Fund when the Prime Minister’s National Relief Fund already exists is “undemocratic, unfederal and in poor taste,” noted historian Ramachandra Guha said on Monday….People are suffering in the next street. They can donate directly to Jaslok Hospital. The relief is primarily at the State level.  It is an unhealthy precedent and must be challenged.  It gives unnecessary discretion to the Prime Minister.”  https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/coronavirus-outbreak-ramachandra-guha-slams-creation-of-pm-cares-fund/article31211597.ece?utm_source=taboola

4-3  Retired Lt. Gen. Honore said on MSNBC’s All In with Chris Hayes, “Always knew that the government would favor certain contractors, but I didn’t know it was enabled by them, but based on what the admiral said last night, I never knew in my 37 years in uniform that the government facilitates private companies by bringing stuff, handing it over to them so they can sell it back at a higher--up to seven times--price to the states [for which] we’re giving the money to buy.  I’ve never heard of that before and that thing Mr. Kushner mentioned, I don’t believe he know what the hell he’s talking about.  He’s totally clueless as to when he’s talking about.”  https://www.politicususa.com/2020/04/03/honore-jared-kushner.html

  Kushner sparked controversy yesterday for a claim that goes against what the Strategic National Stockpile was intended for:  to provide states with more supplies if they run out during an emergency….    

  In August, Greg Burel, then the director of the Stockpile, wrote on another government web page:  "Emergencies can overwhelm state and local medical resources even with the best preparation.  To help in those situations the SNS has evolved to become the nation's largest supply of life-saving pharmaceuticals and medical supplies for use in a public health emergency.”…

  "By the way the states should have been building their stockpile. We have almost 10,000 (ventilators) in our stockpile. And we've been building it, and we've been supplying it.  But the states should be building.  We're a backup. We're not an ordering clerk.  We're a backup," Trump said Thursday.  https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/03/politics/stockpile-website-edited-kushner-claim/index.html

    NOW it just might sense that the $2.2T plus emergency bailout

would be directed right to states instead of into the care of a) Sec. of Treasury Mnuchin, b) Wall Street, and c) Pelosi.
