White House Trade Adviser Peter Navarro said the next coronavirus relief package could provide funding up to $2 trillion as Democrats and Republicans on Capitol Hill debate what should be included in the next round of legislation.
Navarro said the next package should focus on the manufacturing sector with the motto of “Buy American, Hire American.”
“It’ll simultaneously create more manufacturing jobs, which tend to pay much higher wages, and it’ll also help the ripple effect to create a lot of those service sector jobs which we are going to lose to dislocation as we adjust. So the phase four, when you talk about a $3 trillion program by [Speaker] Nancy Pelosi, you hear from [Senate Majority Leader] Mitch McConnell only $1 trillion, the president is very interested in something on the order of at least $2 trillion,” Navarro said Friday on Fox Business.
No! This is ridiculous.
Who is responsible for bankrupting our entire nation?
who is
No - when you’ve got hundreds of thousands of protesters out sometimes every night and being supported by every city and state then THEY don’t care about the virus and neither should government
We're going to let these idiots plunge the world into the worst economic catastrophe in history, now or ever. This has to stop.
There should be plenty of jobs available now for rebuilding the cities burned down by the Saint Floyd fan club.
A pestilence on that.
Just call off the fake panic and get back to business.
,b.,i.Where are we getting the money?????</b></i>
It is the year America went insane
Two trillion dollars — is that enough? It’s well known that the world owes Americans a living, at whatever standard they chose. Why not $6 trillion/month? Surely, no creditors will ever be so crass as to demand repayment.
/sarc — and, the above would apply if ‘Canadians’ were substituted for ‘Americans’ ($ amounts divided by 10, of course).
No!
No. Enough just stop. Every day is a nightmare
The Democrats if they keep this up will bankrupt us all.
Every two months - forever. Or until the dollar implodes, whichever comes first. :)
the “cure” was, is, and will be far worse than the “disease”.
yeah but first and foremost...how much money will I get..?
Every president is guilty of this debt. Every last one in the last 100 years.
What the federal government has spent on coronavirus thus far:
Federal Reserve: $2.3 Trillion (loans, quantitative easing, zero interest rates, etc.)
Congress & the President:
First COVID-19 bill: $8 billion
2nd bill: $192 billion
C.A.R.E.S.Act: $1.7 Trillion
4th stimulus bill: $483 billion
Total thus far: $4.7 trillion
No, dammit, we can’t afford this.
