And we should take seriously someone who thinks there is a press CORPSE?
I would rather they just send out 6K per person then give it away to special interest BS
That 6K can do wonders for some people
2 Trillion for Washington's Virus Bill = 6,060.00 per Person.A lot of the money is going to companies besides people.
Doesn’t it warm your heart to know that the NEA/NEH get a few hundred million bucks out of this?
And all that fiat conjured out of nothing. Inflation ahead.
Beware this being a gateway precedent toward Universal Basic Income.
TARP turned a profit, and a lot of this will, too.
The 500 bn bailout fund will be levered 10 times to become 5 trillion, finances at fed rates of close to zero, and earning 4% per annum on corporate loans at penalty rates. That’s a return of 400 billion a year as long at it’s outstanding.
The stimulus checks and unemployment insurance are also taxable. The net on this thing is going to be a lot less than 2 trillion.
And not only that, the alternatives were either the greatest global depression since the 30’s or mass illness and death.
As Gladys Knight and the Pips sang, you got to make the best of best of a bad situation.
“It would be simpler to cut taxes for the rest of the year.”
Definitely. This bill is absurd. Trump being an incumbent politician in an election year sort of hornswoggled himself into going along with this bill. I get it. What’s a few more trillion in debt. :-)
Well, how about using preventive medicine principles to stop this historic, country ruining pandemic. During the V. Nam War, which could not have been conducted without the US military taking chloroquine 500mg orally once a month to keep the fight going on without the US forces in Army MASH tents instead of fighting?
It is the identical situation with Coronavirus. We have all eyes focused on in-hospital treatment with hydroxychloroquine just starting in the US as it has been proven in China, S. Korea, Italy. Belgium that arbitrary selection of HC and chlorquine successfully treat CV19 in the hospital
It costs less than $2 a tablet for 200mg of Hydroxychloroquine for Rh Arth patients. They take safely, 200mg a DAy, 6000mg a month for decades without much problem up to five years and minimal problems after that except for retinitis from long term use.
The acute HC 5 day total dosage is 2800mg, and has proven safe.
CV10 exposure doses are tiny and only significant for causing disease after 5.1 days of incubation.
So, with a single 400mg dose of HC, with a half life of 22-days/three weeks, only half of the dose is gone in 22 days and is repeated on the first day of the next month.
I submit that for $2 a month, 330M people in the US can likely be prevented from even contracting CV10 or even the flu, for $660 million a month for any 7 month long official flu season.
This pandemic is probably going to last thru the end of the next flu season, next April, about 12 months from now.
12 months of preventing CV19 with a $2 a month for 12 months is right at $8B dollars a vast pittance from the $2.200 billion Coronavirus Bill just passed,
THE US NIH proved in 2005 that in cell culture, chloroquine just being present 1 hour, killed Covid-2/SARS virus in 2 hours.
I submit that since viral exposures are small before replication, a small dose of HC, lasting all the way to the end of a month, to be repeated the day after on the first of the month is the solution ignored by all national “experts”:.
A vaccine is not here yet, although we could have had one 10 years ago. For now we need cheap effective medicine to stop CV19 from infecting people. WE HAVE ONE HC!.
It is manufacture in quantities to serve non-viral disease purposes. We know that it will kill COVID-19 from the old study, not followed up by the NIH.
We are using destructive debt issuance that will not stop the CV19 virus at all and focuses, willfully on in-hospital treatment that should be prevented by prophylactic doses as stops malaria.
We were able to fight malarie in Viet Nam with single monthly doses of chloroqauine. We can fight CV19 with single monthly doses of Hydroxychloroquine or even weekly with great affordability.
Any country that can issue @2.2T can issue $800B to prevent any occupant in the US from contracting CV19 and even other viral illnesses.
Scenario: Truckers are right now refusing to drive into NYC. Soon it will be military convoys delivering food, drugs, hospital supplies. I bet all miitary personnel driving into NY will be taking 400 mg a month of hydroxychloroquine
A company is right now preparing to make 50 milion HC 200mg tabs. Want to bet they go to the military??!!
Americans overall will get pennies on the dollar. That stupid check is pennies. Does anyone have any idea what 2 Trillion could actually do,where most of the money is going and who will be paying for this first 2 Trillion ? (we may spend 4 Trillion more)
“Put it on my tab, please.” /s
I really need to hire a couple of jobs out. Tree service, demolition work, roof, .... unfortunately I have to pay all the taxes and don’t get shit out of this 2 trillion dollar give away. Maybe poor people will hire those people. My guess is no. Big screen TVs made in China, fentanyl / heroine / sneakers / iPhones ... all made in China ... will be in big demand.
The cost is more than all income taxpayers pay in a year on the USA.
Get ready for all products to go up in price. The 150,000,000. Pay the 2,200,000,000 000.
More theft from future generations. The boomers really are a bunch of viruses in and of themselves.
