Look you moron, the total cost of all Covid stimulus packages stands at over six trillion dollars, most of that spent during Trump's last year in office, a desperate attempt to keep the economy afloat during an election year. And it was a shotgun approach, not targeted. He was handing out money to anyone and everyone.
Republican's opposed Biden's stimulus bill for the most part, one of their big arguments, that all the money was not being spent in the first year. Yet here we are, one year later, and they are screaming that the entire responsibility for inflation is due to the 1.9 billion dollars poured into the economy. You know how to tell a Republican? They speak out of both sides of their mouth.
But the OP is spot on. The deficits have been reduced because we have went from what was damn near a depression, unemployment rates not seen since the Depression, people holed up at home, afraid to go out. No vacations, no visits to family, no eating out or movies. Biden, and his stimulus package, helped turn that around to what is now a booming economy, booming so much that the Fed is slamming on the brakes.
I mean this is the same old same old. Time we climbed off this roller coaster. Republicans sweep into power and deficits explode. Mostly because, in order to camouflage all their giveaways to corporations and their fat daddy donors they also throw a few pennies at the rest of us. Trump's tax cuts the perfect example. And while those giveaways to the big dogs are permanent, those tax cuts to us peons are only temporary.
I mean this shit has been going on since Reagan, almost half a damn century of stupid shit. Almost fifty years of America stuck in the mud of Republican idiocy, displayed in technicolor right here by you moron Trump supporters. I hope you idiots take Congress and we have two years of the veto pen, and I hope you idiots take the Whitehouse and have a full majority in Congress. Finally, given enough rope, you idiots will hang yourself like Karl Marx predicted a century ago.
