I don't even know what to say to this.
Won't pass. Not even worth getting upset over. The dems are going to continue to hammer this to win votes. It's just posturing.
I wouldn't be so sure. Politicians never let a good crisis go to waste. The government and the fed generally try to double the debt every 8-10 years. We were nowhere near that with Trump. This virus has given all the politicians and the fed the excuse it needs to get that debt up. I believe the powers that be want the debt up ideally to $35-$40 trillion by 2024.
Sustenance out of thin air. Hmmm. Tbh... I think it can be done. I'm not sure how, but I bet Elon knows. You think I'm kidding..... Lets just give it 20 years. Tops. Its the only way really. But we shall see. Or self destruct. One or the other.
We've been giving visionaries like Elon Musk 20 years, every 10 years, for the last 60 years. And we still don't have a flying car. The only way we'll get sustenance out of thin air is with a Mr. Fusion™ Home Energy Reactor. Until then, where is the damned flying car?
I keep hearing this over and over and over and over and over again....its not going to happen. Do the math please. I guesstimate that this would cost well over $10 trillion dollars. Its being talked every single day as if it has a 93% chance of passing....the media has to stop hyping this up. The higher wallstreet goes and the quick drop off in unemployment starting in 30 days will wash any possible stimulus checks away....this stimulus hype needs to calm down so that people stop getting hyoed up.
