President-elect Joe Biden is expected to unveil a major Covid-19 relief package on Thursday and his advisers have recently told allies in Congress to expect a price tag in the ballpark of $2 trillion, according to two people briefed on the deliberations.

The Biden team is taking a "shoot for the moon" approach with the package, one lawmaker in close contact with them told CNN, though they added that the price tag could still change. The proposal will include sizable direct payments to American families, significant state and local funding -- including for coronavirus vaccine distribution and other emergency spending measures -- to help those struggling during the pandemic. Biden is set to announce the details of his plan in Wilmington, Delaware, Thursday evening.

Maybe...he was taking drugs to look senile. He was acting.

Not exactly kidding.

I am sure someone will be guiding his senile hand to sign us all up for a nation-destroying bankrupting load of pork with a tiny sprinkling of actually useful things in it.

Doing this without letting up on the lockdowns is like strangling someone while at the same time giving them an occasional breath from an oxygen mask. It’s training people to become totally dependent upon government. That the purpose behind this whole thing.

Fiscally responsible states like mine will bail out spendthrift blue states and corrupt unions.

Count on it.

Since we will be paying for this at the grocery store and the pump, not to mention reducing the value of our savings, I’m more like bend over and hope they use KY.

And just like that, our savings will be worth roughly the equivalent of Monopoly money.

Run those presses, boys! Make USA Venezuela!

Yup. And start making plans to withdraw and rollover your 401k funds...very soon.

They'll either be worth less than half of current value or the Biden administration will start plans to take control of that account for us morons who cannot seems to manage our retirement funds ourselves.

I don’t understand why he’d waste his time. The election is over and he has 4 year of lying to blame the Republicans. He should wait until 2023 to give free money.

I should be his adviser, they could pay me only 200,000 dollars a year.
