Stock market falls after Biden proposed $1.9T stimulus.

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.

@Mik @jon-nyc AOC is now calling for 2K on top of the $600...

[Mik]

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

[Copper]

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

[Rainman]

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!
Get With It. Get With the Program for goddsakes.

Politicians lie?

IMPEACH!!!

There are many ways to manage the economy

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

Moderna CEO said it will be with us forever...

[Mik]

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.

Rubio wants 2k.

No, Rubio wants $2024...

[Axtremus]

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

Ayup. L'il Marco is still hungry. That's pretty RINO-ey.

[jon-nyc]

But a version of it will likely pass. There are definitely a handful of republicans in the senate that will support it.

[Mik]

Agreed.
