So you're disagreeing with MarketWatch. What specifically are you disagreeing with in the article please?Biden will regret the $1.9 trillion stimulus because it squanders the money he'll need for other priorities
The American Rescue Plan gives too much money to those who don't need it.www.marketwatch.com
Can’t print money forever and now we will get hit with massive inflation. As I said before it would have been smarter to give the full $1.9trn to Americans vs just $422bn and have the rest be bullshit.
Get ready for banks to hold back credit and for a massive recession.
Thanks you Transocrats
Why not? It worked for Donald Trump. $1.9 trillion is the exact amount of the tax cut that Dumb Donald gave to billionaires and large corporations, all of whom have been awash in cash since W was President. You don't seem to have had a problem with "printing money" for that give away.
Conservatives have a real problem with giving money to working people, and yet that is what governments in the top ranked first world countries do. The wealthy still get more than the rest of us, but the working class gets a lot of income supports, starting with universal health care, and a child tax benefit of up to $500 per month, per child to help cover child care costs.
If you're out of work, you can get training grants, and income support to retrain. If you start a business, you can get participate in programs to give you income support and management training in your first year.
We have geared to income housing for seniors, and a guaranteed income of $19,000 per year for retirees. For families with income of less than $35,000 per year, we have child tax credits of $500 per month per child, which reduces on a sliding scale and disappears completely when your income reaches $70,000 per family. Similar to the child tax benefit that Biden just passed into law.
Norway has FREE education, right up to and including the University level. All Canadian universities are government funded. We invest in our PEOPLE, not our corporations. We invest in education and infrastructure - BIGLY. When the Republicans took over in 1980, they stopped investing or even maintaining infrastructure.
The USA is now missing out on international investment in manufacturing because your workforce is so poorly educated, that millions of high skill jobs are going unfilled, but you're not offering retraining to your workers to fill those jobs. The workers have to train themselves. Not very bright of you.
You middle class is shrinking. More people are falling back into poverty than are rising into wealth. A successful economy is dependant on a thriving and growing middle class. Your middle class is neither, and your tax code and labour code does nothing for the working poor.
