Trump on capital hill pushing for stimulus to bail out his economy. Can the deficit hit $2 trillion? 

Hey, it’s the media’s fault Italy is locked down and Israel is massively cutting travel. 

 

Airlines blamed the media for exaggerating the effects of the coronavirus Tuesday, urgently broadcasting that they are "open for business" as travel continues to slump and new numbers suggest the worst may be yet to come for the industry. 

In a statement Tuesday morning, the trade group Airlines for America said that "false media narratives ... have led to confusion and uncertainty across the country," and argued that it's safe to fly, saying "numerous health officials have affirmed that the risk remains low for travelers who follow CDC guidelines."

No, it's a bailout 

‘This is not a bailout’: Mnuchin defends Trump plan to rescue firms affected by coronavirus

Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin on Wednesday defended the Trump administration’s plan to provide targeted emergency assistance for specific industries hurt by the coronavirus fallout, denying that the White House proposals amount to a “bailout” despite mounting scrutiny over whether powerful firms are being targeted for assistance.

Speaking to lawmakers on Capitol Hill, Mnuchin said the White House could act to provide assistance to the travel, cruise and hotel industries that have been hammered by cancellations and a drop-off in new bookings because of traveler concerns.

The White House is considering providing low- or no-interest loans to these industries and could defer taxes for these companies until a later date, according to multiple senior administration officials. The situation is evolving rapidly.

The White House is also considering offering low- or no-interest loans to oil and gas producers who have been hit by plummeting oil prices, officials said. It is unclear which of these measures would require approval by Congress. But Mnuchin suggested he would consult with lawmakers after consulting with business leaders.

  Reminds me of the classic Seinfeld episode "The Opposite."  As to who is paying him it is the modern version of the organization CHAOS from Get Smart helmed by Soros.

  If anything Tibs should be picking up hours at the laundromat as more Americans obsess over the cleanliness of their clothes.  Tibs might yet wind up as a income tax paying citizen.  For at least this year.

You clowns think this is funny? Just hundreds? 

 

Oh, I forgot, you guys want to pretend there won’t be further economic damage. Sticking your heads in the sand will make the world a little more beautiful, but it won’t inform you
