I can't wait to see the dems and media spin around election time, it will be how the national debt increased by 2 trillion+ and how unemployment rose. The sheeple will forget all about this virus and believe this is Trumps fault. No mention of Nans pork laden changes and the pay increase for the poor already overpaid politicians. TRUMP 2020

yep, we all will, welcome to merica!

Getting political?

$1 Trillion deficit in budget before virus.
$2 Trillion stimulus.
$? Trillion reduction in revenue until business returns to normal and deficits return to $1 Trillion.
$? if additional stimulus is needed.

It's' going to be huge.

FYI, you forgot to add in the first 2 COVID 19 funding bills that passed before the latest $2 Trillion one.

Right. Then add in the affect on State and local government revenue losses and the possibility the Feds will have to help them survive. The Feds can print money but the States and locals can't. Some may consider this a doom and gloom scenario but being aware of what we might be facing in the future is also important.

Not promoting that they do it, but the US Dollar is about as strong as it's ever been. May be the perfect time to devalue the $ a bit by printing some extra $ bills and then pay off some of the debt.

I read $99k the other day??? IDK

This is exactly what I’ve been worried about most lately. Printing money always devalues the currency and leads to run away inflation. This stimulus package is poison and everybody’s acting like it’s the bees knees.

Great post Monty.

Yup. They are so predictable

Fake news, neither politicians nor their staff received any pay increases. A simple read explains the uses of the $25,000,000 for the house and it is entirely justified.

I was laboring under the impression it was on gross income but basing it on adjusted gross income seems to be the end result.

$2900.
