Tiberius Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Quote In a written statement, the director of the National Economic Council, Brian Deese, warned that the 900,000 new unemployment claims provided “another stark reminder that we must act now on the President’s American Rescue Plan to get immediate relief to families and spur our economy.” He warned that the new job claims were evidence that the economy is “moving in the wrong direction.” He urged Congress to move quickly on President Biden’s plan to “extend unemployment insurance, finish the job in providing $2,000 in direct relief to Americans, and ensure that millions of our families who are struggling to make ends meet, put food on the table, and keep a roof over their head in the midst of this crisis are able to get to the other side with dignity.” The White House is planning to send Deese to talk with a bipartisan group of 16 senators about moving forward on the bill. At Thursday’s White House briefing, press secretary Jen Psaki told reporters: “We are going to be increasing our engagements; it’s already been ongoing, even before the president was inaugurated yesterday. . . . As I conveyed to all of you yesterday, [Biden’s] preference and priority is a bipartisan package and working with members of both parties to come to agreement on that, because he believes that the crises facing the American people.” However, she said, “We’re also not going to take options off the table. So, we’ll proceed with those discussions over the next couple of days.” Deese is going to need to make the case that a delay in passing an immediate rescue plan will send the economy into an even deeper or more prolonged recession, costing even more in the long term. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/01/22/republicans-recalcitrance-economy-is-risky/ Go big or go home! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Blitz Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 Why not $5,000 per adult? This is what the Democrats think of me? I'm only worth one $2000 payment every 5 months? If they don't start fighting for me and get this number to around $5000 to $10000 I think the Party needs to fold. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiberius Posted January 26, 2021 Author Share Posted January 26, 2021 Quote Senior U.S. lawmakers are stressing out about mounting government debt as they resist President Joe Biden’s $1.9 trillion plan to boost the economy through more direct checks to Americans and aid to states and cities. But investors in the federal debt, a wide range of market-focused economists and officials in the Biden administration have a firm response: Don’t worry about it right now. The debt poses no imminent danger to U.S. finances, they say, so the more pressing concern should be jump-starting the economy to avoid the type of sluggish recovery that persisted for years following the Great Recession. “Without further action, we risk a longer, more painful recession now — and long-term scarring of the economy later,” Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen told senators last week at her confirmation hearing. The U.S. government spent its way to a record-busting $3.1 trillion budget deficit in fiscal 2020 — and that was before Congress passed another $900 billion coronavirus relief package in December. But interest rates have barely budged from their rock-bottom levels, signaling that investors — the people who actually finance the debt — aren’t the least bit concerned about all that government borrowing. More than a decade of historically low rates, coupled with surging demand for safe investments like U.S. Treasury bonds, ensure that Biden can probably spend as much as he wants to revive the pandemic-battered economy and concentrate on the debt later, despite new alarms being raised by Republicans in particular. Yellen, confirmed on Monday night as Treasury chief, and Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell have embraced the idea of using deficit spending to get the economy back on track — and potentially save money in the long run — as millions remain unemployed and small businesses have been forced to close. And it’s a strategy that has found plenty of support on Wall Street. https://www.politico.com/news/2021/01/26/wall-street-national-debt-462453 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not taking out Sudaam in the first Gulf War still had him as Hitler 2.0 in American minds. After 9/11, the pressure from the Republicans and the public (WE WANTED VENGEANCE) pry would've pushed him to invade Iraq even if there was some opposition within his own party.

The D's have run 3 people that voted for it for President ( Kerry, Clinton, and Biden ). If they didn't also like war they never would have nominated those 3. My own personal opinion is that anyone that voted for or promoted this fiasco should move to the Arizona dessert, wear sack cloth and ashes, do penance, and never be heard from again.
