It's not just working people. I have a bone deficiency. I have three metal plates 11 screws in my foot I use a wheelchair and get $800 a month . We struggle every month also. It would be nice to get a little help every now and then. I've worked since I was 17 in the factories and before that I babysat an mowed lawns I did whatever I could my family was not well. Now, not only am I disabled, I'm trying to help my son who has ran out of funds trying to keep up his rent after he lost his job, my Uncle Charles just passed away from COVID-19, and my Aunt has cancer and is here with me.. She is on hospice and not doing well. I have one son away serving our country, and a17 yr old still home. Everyone is We're coming together and very fortunate we still have our home. Many prayers go out to those that have lost so much and the government is letting them lose their homes and go hungry. A lot of people have it worse them we do. We will pray every day for Everyone 🙏🙏 to get thru this. Sorry bout the rant but all truth!!

The sacrifices people are making these are the real Heroes

If I was unable to get food stamps once I left service I wouldn’t have been able to finish college and have the successful job that I now hold. I am a proud tax payer knowing that when the system is used properly, it works. Nothing more, nothing less.

The biggest problem is in one word. Mitch

President Elect Biden spoke like a true leader that has concern for the people of the USA. It wasn't about him it was about all of us. Taking steps to lead the people/economy
back to work. Knowing that in order to get there we have to start by getting the virus under control first and foremost. The understanding of what needs to be done and doing something about it. Not denying that this virus doesn't exist. Thank you and may God open doors and guide you through them President Elect Biden and Vice President Elect Harris. You have my support in doing my part to stay safe.

Check out Newsmax or OAN news or NTD news, or Fox news. They do much better reporting job

I'm not sure why there are down votes on this but I appreciate knowing what my fellow Americans need. You all are so brave for speaking up. I don't think I could be as brave.

[RSlayer]

Great stuff! It's good to have a President connected to the people like this. No insults or blame, just a conversation about the struggles people have, and a conversation about what can and needs to be done. Looking forward to more of these!

What about people like this Woman. Who can't afford basic Healthcare. Or is this about the working people

[evahirthe]

I have been doing some research on some Cryptocurrencies especially on Ethereum and I have been able to find out Ethereum is an easy means of making profit especially when you have a good knowledge of how the Ethereum market works, I really don't know how the Ethereum market works, can anyone please help me?

[christianbrazelton]

Are you making it illegal for businesses to leave America after you tax them

[lifecloud]

I can really feel the pain that these people are going through. I've been in similar situations. Having a good support system helps a great deal. But this feeling of hopelessness is based on the idea that no one knows what they're going through. I'm hoping this won't last much longer.

[babyteano]

What I noticed was he remember their names. He good at remembering names.

[DCMoPo]

If the government help caused the problems then we will expect the government to solve our problems

Please tell me what is going to happen to the American people that have been laid off since February and March do you honestly and can you honestly say that $1, 200 is supposed to last somebody that many months that is so wrong in so many ways that I can't even count as far as I'm concerned there's not even a calculator that can go that high on how wrong that is. You talk about a recession in 2008 and 2008 I never got any stimulus checks I never got any help ever and now I would like to know how you guys plan on helping us now when we were never given anything in 2008 why where when. Please just answer that question how much longer does the American people have to continue suffering like this when we don't go out of our house we stay isolated we're not the type of people that fly and go out of state we stay within ourselves so that covid-19 does not get passed to anyone wear mask 6 distant scene everything that you guys have said to do we do. But now we're asking for your help we feel as if we are just being kicked in the face and that's exactly how the American people fails we understand that you have blocked in president-elect guidance to a lot but we also understand that it cannot have that many people in the White House and not do anything about it I hope you all the luck in the world in your efforts of what you were doing as our president and God bless you and vice president Harris I pray that everything will work out for you both but I also have to pray for my own family that we do not starve to death or die because of this pandemic before any help can be given to any American people. One more question why does people take a nose when they go into the White House to uphold the American people add to make sure that they know what they're doing well if they're doing it we don't see it where is it please show us tell us something.

The volume is too low. Can't make out what P. Elect Biden is saying.

One good thing if Biden is president, the Alzheimer Association should take in a lot of donations when citizens can see the effects first hand on the president.
