Biden stimulus showers money on Americans, offers generous expansion of aid to poor

[BidenPresident]

President Biden’s stimulus package, which passed the Senate on Saturday, represents one of the most generous expansions of aid to the poor in recent history, while also showering thousands or, in some cases, tens of thousands of dollars on Americans families navigating the coronavirus pandemic.

The roughly $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan, which only Democrats supported, spends most of the money on low-income and middle-class Americans and state and local governments, with very little funding going toward companies. The plan is one of the largest federal responses to a downturn Congress has enacted and economists estimate it will boost growth this year to the highest level in decades and reduce the number of Americans living in poverty by a third.

While very helpful, compared to what some countries have done it is far too little.

How is it going to lift anyone out of poverty?

They get a stimulus check and that's about it.
Trump actually gave them more stimulus then Biden is.

[Text Drivers are Killers]

If that 1.9trillion dollars was divided equally among eligible americans it would be around $15,000 each. So why are they only getting $1400? Because the rest is pork the dems are giving to themselves and their cronies.

Yeah, the democrats should have withheld $500 billion like Dotard did to do with, as they see fit.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin told Congress Wednesday that the Trump administration intends to keep secret the names of the businesses that have received more than $500 billion in COVID-19 bailout funds through the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), claiming the information is “confidential.”

Wing nuts had no problem with that.

confidential is not "withheld"

[no worries]

confidential is not "withheld"

Maybe, may not.

That's "confidential".

Mnuchin told Senator Jon Tester of Montana that he has complied fully with releasing information on who is getting the money from the CARES Act and said it has been posted online at the Treasury’s website. Tester told him that “I’m not seeing any of it.” (Wall Street On Parade also could find no list of recipients of the $500 billion on the Treasury’s website.)

Then there is this.

During Mnuchin’s confirmation hearing, Senator Ron Wyden made the not-so-subtle suggestion that Mnuchin had falsified his financial disclosures. Wyden said this:

“Mr. Mnuchin, a month ago you signed documents and an affidavit that omitted the Cayman Island fund, almost $100 million of real estate, six shell companies and a hedge fund in Anguilla. This was not self-corrected. The only reason it came to light was my staff found it and told you it had to be corrected.”

I'll stand by my statement.

you conflate everything..such a waste of my time
disclosure is not withholding either

[no worries]

Then, why are you responding?

Then, why not disclose?

You give your wife a $1000 wouldn't you want to know how that money was spent?

Aside from telling her directly "just blow it'.

"Conflation"?

Nothing like Dotard and his cult have been doing for 4 years.
