Anatomy Of The $2 Trillion COVID-19 Stimulus Bill

Today’s Sankey diagram is a visual representation of where the $2 trillion will be spent.

My favorite part is the percentages, followed closely by how Small Business says 'loan' while Large Corporations say nothing of the sort. Follow to the bottom to see the word 'distribution'.

Thoughts?

Makes perfect sense. Corporations get almost as much as taxpayers, who are effectively just getting back their own tax money, and the health sector gets 9% of the aid package designed for a public health crisis.

What a joke.

The loans should be interrest free. It's a wonderful opportunity to fix the bad credit "market" and provide liquidity from bellow.
Sadly - it takes a hard core socialist. Otherwise you wanna feed the chicken and pigs will come and gobble it all.

I'd even say these loans should have a negative interrest rate. It makes more sense than sending everyone the same peanuts check knowing the'll have to take a new toxic loan anyway

Wow. Public services get a whopping 9%.

The airlines get 10x what the CDC does. Seem fair, right?

Cliff's Notes version: The entire thing equals a socialist redistribution of wealth under the guise of 'assistance'.

The small business loan is forgiven if used for employee wages, the company I work for is currently using it to pay employees that are out of work

The CDC should be disbanded for their blatant lies and obfuscations, and suppression of natural therapies that work far better than any of their toxic drugs - even on SARS...

No. Again, much of it, maybe even most, yes.

But the compensation to businesses for the damage done to their businesses, livelihoods and lives is absolutely not wealth redistribution. Please stop lumping that in with the rest.

Most is good enough for my broad statement, if I choose to get finer I'll let you know.

So say most. You said 'the entire thing' - not the same as 'most.

My statement stands at this point, I don't ever trust the government to do the right thing, especially when it comes to money.

Who agrees with this senator who says spend now and worry about the deficit later?
