In 2009 you guys started saying that Obama's recovery wasn't good enough. Was too slow. Meanwhile, you didn't give him the money he needed. This time, Biden is going to give us the money we need to get through this pandemic. And of course you Republicans will want to give us less than he wants to give us. Well, consider this a tax break for middle class and poor Americans. You don't object to tax breaks do you?

Since then, a consensus has emerged among economists that President Barack Obama’s 2009 stimulus package, which ended up costing roughly $840 billion, greatly benefited the economy but should have gone much further. It essentially was big enough to anger Republicans but not big enough to fully get the job done for the economy.

Wait. We had the money in 2016 for Trump to give rich people the biggest tax break in US history but we don't have the money now to give away? Flip flop much?

Common econ for the dimwit.

Squander a trillion and things get better; "WE FIXED THE ECONOMY!"

Squander a trillion and things don't get better; "WE SHOULD HAVE PISSED AWAY MORE MONEY!"


pffffft

Actually, Obama started the economy on its way to recovery. This was the deepest recession since the Depression and the economy could not possibly simply snap
back, but it was certainly on its way.

You know that is Joe trying to work with republicans, right? It's their proposal, not from the Democrats.

As usual, you've got stuff completely backwards.

Nothing Democrats do is good for Americans. They aim to bankrupt and subjugate the American people for their Chinese masters.

What has Biden done so far that benefits Americans?

How Much Trump's Tax Cuts Cost the Government
Tax cuts under the Trump Administration increased the deficit and debt

Trump administration, promised that it would add $1.8 trillion in new revenue. That would more than pay for the $1.5 trillion cost of the tax cuts themselves

This increase in the federal debt means that formerly budget-conscious federal Republicans have done an about-face on fiscal policy.

For example, In 2011, Republicans supported the Budget Control Act, which automatically cuts spending across the board between 2013 and 2021.9 These mandatory spending cuts were called sequestration.

In 2013, Republicans threatened to not raise the debt ceiling to force budget cuts.10 That would have forced the U.S. to default on its debt. Fortunately, better-than-expected revenue meant the debt ceiling debate was postponed until the fall.11

In these instances, Congressional Republicans were focused on limiting debt and deficit growth at the expense of government functioning. However, with the TCJA, Republicans in the federal government passed a law that significantly increased both deficit spending and the federal debt.

Supporters of tax cuts believe in the theory of supply-side economics. This theory states that freeing up businesses to grow more will drive economic growth. When the government cuts taxes or regulations, companies will hire more workers. The resultant job growth creates more demand which boosts the economy.

Supply-side is the opposite of Keynesian theory. It says that consumer demand drives the economy. It supports more government spending on infrastructure, unemployment benefits, and education.

In general, tax cuts work when the economy is sluggish, businesses need money, and tax rates are high.

For example, the Treasury Department found that the Bush tax cuts gave the economy a short-term boost. This was because the economy was in a recession.12 The tax cuts gave businesses extra capacity they could put to use immediately.

According to a 2017 survey, many large corporations said they didn’t need the money from the Trump administration's tax cuts. They were sitting on a record $2.3 trillion in cash reserves, double the level in 2001.

If the individual cuts are made permanent, the cost will rise to $2.3 trillion without having been successful at significantly boosting wages or increasing jobs.

So lets undo Trump's tax breaks so we can get this stimulus to people who really need it.

What Are the Costs of the Trump Tax Cuts to You?

The Tax Cut and Jobs Act promised to add $1.8 trillion in revenue. Instead, it could add $2.3 trillion to the debt.

What has Biden done so far that benefits Americans?

Give him a 1 trillion dollar stimulus. You didn't mind when Trump passed his tax break which cost us 2.3 trillion and at a time when tax breaks weren't needed. Companies were already sitting on tons of cash. You only pass tax breaks or stimulus spending when it's needed. Now that it's needed don't tell us we don't have the money or else we will undo the Trump tax breaks.

What has Biden done so far that benefits Americans?

He has been in office for 2 weeks. One good thing that he is doing is to eliminate Trump's fuck-ups so that he can move forward.

The government needed that money. You have to pay your taxes. And if we have a debt, maybe your taxes need to go up. Yea yea, cut more spending. We've heard that before. What spending would you like to cut?

A piece written by economic ignoramuses, for economic ignoramuses.

Tax cuts don't "cost the gubmint" anything, unless you presume that everyone's earnings belong to them first.

Irrelevant to the point....The money belongs to the people who earned it.....Claiming that tax cuts "cost the gumbmint money" presumes that it's not your money in the first place.

And if the gubmint is so strapped, they should cut ther spoending and shutter some bureaucracies, like people in businesses have to do when their balance sheets are off.
