I've heard that Mnuchin is willing to spend 10 trillion dollars in b******* measures like this. If he goes through with it, our currency will be dead within a couple of years, it won't be the next generation that pays it will be ourselves. And we will deserve it.

This is exactly the kind of overreaction to the virus that will absolutely f*** us over. and everyone in Washington is on board with it, everyone on Wall Street is begging for it, and most people on mainstreet think they want it as well. They think money can just appear magically and make everything better.

America is f****** itself over. We won't be a superpower by 2030, and this overreaction is a big reason why.

It sucks, but this situation is a bit different. There is no real economic issues that caused this, unlike in 2008.

What is different is that a LOT of companies have been overleveraged with expansion in the booming economy and probably dont have the cash on hand to deal with a 6 month or so loss on revenue.

I dont like the idea of doing a stimulus, but I do somewhat understand this one. This measure is to bridge the gap between the boom of a month ago and the continued boom when this is over. All this is meant to do is lessen the blow that the economy takes.

Trump also cant allow unemployment to get to high. If it gets up into double digits you will run a real risk of civil unrest in this climate.

well like I said in my original post I don't have a problem with doing some kind of a stimulus in this particular situation, because yeah the virus is not reflect and underlying structural problem in the economy, but the creation of temporary conditions that will go away.

But that's not what we're doing here with this plan, we're just throwing money away without actually doing anything that will preserve the industries we need to preserve. Throwing two thousand bucks that every American family is not going to help the airline industry if they're not even allowed to fly anyway. It's not going to fill up bars and restaurants. It's not going to create more hospital beds.

All it's going to do is cause inflation as people have more money to spend on the goods that are available right now during this pandemic. It probably won't even produce much more real actual stuff for people to use, nor will I preserve the affected parts of the economy from disaster. We will have borrowed a s*** ton of money and evaluate our currency for nothing. At a time when we really need our money and resources the fight this virus and preserve our economy for the future.

It's madness. There's a spider on our foot and we just shot our foot to get it off.

Agreed. This is a mistake. Hoping DT doesn't sign it if he hasn't already.

Yeah he can still get out of this. he needs to point out that we need to target this towards the people who actually need it, that we don't have the resources especially in a time of economic trouble, to just throw around money willy-nilly.

He will catch some flak at first but I think people will really respect it.

Gotta love giving fucking Boeing a bailout. They moved production to China And fucked over American jobs. Then those parts are inadequate so the 737 can't fly, so they make mistakes and are beginning to feel the repercussions and now the slate will be wiped clean. Lick balls, but hey American people we will send you a g that won't even pay your rent or mortgage so we can give huge corps billions. Just wait for it to trickle down, dolts

Plus it reiterates that AOC was essentially correct in stating... We just pay for it.

it reinforces the whole idea that all we have to do is print money and give it away to people and everything will be fine.

No, brings about prosperity is the amount of goods that are produced. This stimulus does nothing to help us produce the goods that we are losing because of this virus. The virus will continue to stop us from producing those. all it will do is make it so that there was more money going after the few goods that are still being produced, causing inflation. so we will go in debt in order to have to pay more money for goods that we already have.

This is complete Insanity. It's already bad enough how this virus is going to hurt our economy, but now we are needlessly taking on two trillion dollars more in debt and devaluing currency at the same time.

No, this proves you can't read. I already said I'm in favor of a different type of stimulus, when will we actually send a meaningful amount of money to the people who are actually affected by this, instead of shooting money all over the economy even to people (like government workers) who are still receiving their paychecks.

You're an embarrassment to this movement.
