  1. It's not about whether or not the activity is unreasonable. It's about whether taxpayers should be paying for them for other people. When you deal with other people's money you should be responsible with it.

    I don't support bailing out publicly traded companies that were irresponsible buying back their own stock to inflate their price instead of ensuring for a black swan event, then cashing in campaign contributions by writing bailouts that brought their share price back up to pre-pandemic levels.

    even more reason to have stricter bailout oversights. In reality Mnuchin fought public disclosure of loan applicants

  6. Trump is no longer in office. I want the Biden administration to run better. I want it to be more fiscally responsible.

  7. The economy would completely crash if we didn't bailout some of these industries from time to time. I prefer it to be in the form of loans, not complete handouts.

    welfare is welfare or so I am told. Unless it helps someone avoid bankruptcy for burying a loved one.
