    I get the money for people who lost their jobs. Is the theory for the others that they will spend it and jump start the economy?

    Somewhere I read that most of that money was spent on savings and paying off debt.

        Me too. I get it for those in trouble. I don't get throwing it out to everyone. There are an awful lot of people who did not lose their jobs and are not hurting. To increase the debt to send them money seems unwise.

        But it's not just that. He's going to cut poverty by 1/3. He's going to upgrade infrastructure, increase R&D investment and bring manufacturing back to America and he's going to make companies and the rich pay 'their fair share'.

            Stock market falls after Biden proposed $1.9T stimulus.

              Actually I don't think it was the stimulus, but his narrative about how America is not about those living off investments and criticizing those who look to the market to see how we are doing. In other words, the productive.

              Good job, Joe. Not even in office and already tanking the market through jitters.

                  Oh no! We're back to Tuesday last week.

                  I kid, Ax. I know there's lots of theorizing going on about how the stimulus affects the market.

                      I'm sure she is, but I doubt she holds much sway.

                        I can't take her seriously if she asks for anything less than $100K.

                          What the heck is going on here, huh?

                          I already budgeted for $2000 + $600 (Trump) and $1400 + $600 + $2000 (Biden) + $28,000 (AOC estimate).

                          And now Biden/AOC are going back on their word.

                          How can they stimulate the economy without giving at least $35,000 to every person?
                          Thanks, AOC! As long as you all are handing out money we don't have, why not pass out more?

                          If it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, right? Just keep it $1 beneath where it would wreck the economy, and we'll be fine.

                          It's called "economics," people!

                                The Biden presidency will be over very shortly if the virus is not defeated. It's much of what he ran on.

                                    And I think he is right. But ending the pandemic is the goal. That is what Biden has to do, and he's been shooting his mouth off about it for months.

                                    When you could drag him out of his basement, that is.

                                          I suppose Rubio asks for that $2k without any form of “means testing”?
