The proposed stimulus bill needs to include opening up the economy to jobs, to people, to growth, to students.
Heck, Governor of New York and Mayor of Chicago now see the urgency. Nothing much has really changed since the March 2020 closures and now, but Trump is gone. And the really huge change was the Trump Miracle of getting multiple vaccines ready and available.
But then again, the state and local governments are another big failure in the distribution. With a 30 day window upon taking the vaccines from the freezer before they go bad, the key should be on the injections to stop the infections and not on the next elections. Get the vaccines to the hospitals, the doctors, the pharmacies, the public health offices. Distribute the vaccine like we did it for years. Like we did with the polio vaccine.
Let capitalism get into the jobs creation business with the dynamic synergy of putting us back to work. If so, then don’t need no stinking stimulus checks, which stimulate nothing but fraud, laziness, and dependency.
But like the last stimulus last month, there is much pork, much waste, and much, much crap unrelated to helping the individual citizen get through this mess.
And let us not forget, money wasted will reap nothing. Printing dollars only brings inflation making those dollars worth little. And every dollar printed is a debt to be paid by your children and their children . . . .
So here is a summary from the Daily Reader which gives you a quick read on the Biden Proposal. And note there is $1,400 On top of the $600 from the last stimulus, and guess what? That is the same $2,000 Trump wanted and the Democrats fought.
BIDEN PUSHES A BLUE STATE BAIL OUT AND A BLANKET $15 MINIMUM WAGE... Joe Biden Releases $1.9 Trillion Coronavirus Relief Plan,Includes $1,400 Direct Payments
President-Elect Joe Biden on Thursday introduced a $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief plan that includes [$1,400] direct payments to Americans and mandates a $15 minimum wage.
The plan is Biden’s first official pass at a coronavirus relief plan, adding an additional $1,400 to the existing $600 direct payments President Donald Trump signed in December.
Biden introduced the plan amid upheaval in Congress over Trump’s second impeachment in the House of Representatives. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has shot down calls for a special Senate session to convict Trump prior to Biden’s inauguration. Biden himself has also said he expects Congress to be ready to deliberate on his legislation when he takes office.
Biden’s proposal would send $400 billion toward increasing vaccine use, testing, and reopening schools; more than $1 trillion in direct relief through either employment benefits or direct payments; $90 billion to businesses and communities; and $350 billion in emergency funding to state and local governments, according to the Washington Post.
The bill also imposes a ban on evictions through September 2021.
