How does this crap sandwich help anything?
It doesn’t, except the pocketbooks of politicians and governors. Yeah, everyone..... Except that doesnt include everyone..... Gets a check. In the end, country is still locked down and still needs a kick to get going. I dunno, maybe something to incentivise the want to work like a tax break or something.
It keeps businesses and employees intact for a short period of time. Without it, Trump loses the people quickly as bills aren’t paid, local and state governments collapse from lost revenue, pension finds are obliterated, mortgages defaulted, violence in cities increases, banks fail, basic goods become scarce...shall I go on? Because I can.
He’s bought 2 months to bring the economy back up. It likely will be enough. If the American people didn’t want the crap sandwich part they shouldn’t have given the Democrats as much power as they did with the House majority and 47 Senators. That die was cast in 2018 and the people gave the Democrats the power to get their cut. The only other option for the administration and the Republicans was mass suicide.
