  1. Hardly any, if any, goes to other countries. Pumping 1.9 trillion into the economy will jump-start it again. That's why they call it "stimulus" . Republicans voted against it because they can't take credit. They didn't have any problem giving away trillions to corporations last year.

  4. No, the economy will jumpstart and employ more people. The money will return next tax season. 1.9 trillion pumped into the economy will light it up.

  5.  @mezo72271  The 200,000 are Trump's. The vaccination program was a disorganized mess when Biden took over. The government didn't even know how much vaccine was available. They found much of it stored in warehouses. Trump was slow at getting the vaccinations going back in December. He promised 20 million vaccinations by years end. 3 million were given.

  6.  @johnchalmers  The money will expand the economy and create millions of jobs. That's why it is called a stimulus. All the money went to the middle and lower classes this time. The wealthy got peanuts. They predict growth will be 7%.

  7. They know the economy will expand greatly which will pay for everything X10. It's a stimulus.

  8. The implications are the economy will expand big time and put millions back to work. The pandemic is beginning to end. Things will open up.

  10.  @johnchalmers  Without closing things down there would have been far , far more dead. An early estimation was 2 million dead. It didn't happen because a lot of people took it seriously. If we had had a proper government the close downs would not have affected the economy or people's jobs. Other countries paid their citizens to stay home and paid businesses to stay solvent. The good 'ol USA decided to go the route we would have taken 100 years ago. I guess that is the definition of conservatism. Dinosaurs in action

  11.  @johnchalmers  I don't know. Google the article: "U.S. Growth Could Surge on Stimulus and Vaccine Rollout The O.E.C.D. expects the American economy will expand 6.5 percent this year, up sharply from a forecast of 3.2 percent in December."

  12.  @johnchalmers  Perhaps. Unlike Trump's tax cuts, however, this is going to people who will spend the money.

  13.  @johnchalmers  When tax cuts go to the wealthy they don't necessarily rush out and go on spending sprees. They bought a new couch last year. They won't buy another one. They put the money in the bank etc. Lower income people will spend it. Their 20 year-old couch needs replacing. Keynesian economics. 80% of Trumps cuts benefited the wealthy. It was joke to call it a stimulus. the only thing stimulated was the stock market.
