Now that’s some Presidentin’!

(Actually, in the real world, a restaurant that is at 50% of normal because sane people don’t want to get/spread sickness might as well not be open.          People who choose to spread it are their enemies.          The only way out was to crush the virus.           You People are stupid.)

You brag about senile joe creating, err bringing back Trump jobs - and now you call them stupid and the enemy for going back to work???

Just as Bush/Bernanke opened the door a crack,  Trump/Powell threw it wide open to our MMTish future.

Just true.

Brave New World.

Ed, I think your Mom has your pop tarts ready.

[aljessen61]

Your actual proud of that idiot you elected? Man you must be one stupid pile of *****.

every time I think dumb and dumber cannot get any dumber, they come back and amaze me.

Nutz, are you on drugs? 

Maybe you guys need to sit a few plays out.....you are acting like you got your bell rung.

[sdholloway56]

I’m aware of your feelings.

What are your substantive objections?

With all of these new jobs there is no reason for more stimulus.

The U.S. government posted a March budget deficit of $660 billion, a record high for the month, as direct payments to Americans under President Joe Biden's stimulus package were distributed, the Treasury Department said on Monday.

The deficit for the first six months of the 2021 fiscal year ballooned to a record $1.706 trillion, compared to a $743 billion deficit for the comparable year-earlier period.

Trump's minions here complain it's not fair to credit Biden with any recovery but you can be darn sure that if trump was president he and his whole crowd would be crowing at the top of their lungs.

  But there is no doubt that the second and third shot of stimulus is fueling the supercharged rehiring we're seeing simply because all businesses that didn't go out of business are immediately available to rehire.

  In any event, this republican myth that people wouldn't go back to work if they got stimulus money has been shown to be malarkey.

Obviously, you missed the lecture on the failure of the Hoover administration to understand the consequences of his do-nothing policy.  May I suggest you go back to school and retake 1st-semester macroeconomics.  Hoover was absolutely sure that the economy would "correct itself" and sat on his hands for almost three years doing nothing.  The exact same thing the republicans wanted to do last year.
