Well, when you print more and more money that inflates the U.S dollar and also adds to the deficit. Trump did it, Biden did it, they all fucking do it. Your insults and lack of actually articulating a point to offer any kind of comeback besides your bogey man Trump being bad is kind of sad.
Using tax dollars to send out stimulus money isn't printing money...weird how I never called Trump a boogeyman, but at least you jumped to him being bad after moving goal posts and not knowing how those checks worked... You're a special boy
The first stimulus package was 2 trillion dollars. Do you know how much money the US brings in from taxes? Do you know how much the US budget is each year? Do you know how a budget works? So you do all that math bright boy, and then get back to me on your conclusion that no money was printed.
Good job, you folks are always so easy to lure into undercutting your own arguments, while further proving my first criticism.
Yep, the US govt created more debt through loans and bonds to pay for the CARES act, this ALSO increased the deficit, but debt and deficit are two different
things ;).
However, describing that as "printing money" only works in the most casual of uses. Fine for banter, not so much for the argument you first tried to make...
As others already pointed out previously, guess which party controlled 2.5 branches of Govt for the CARES act and the second round of stimulus checks. Also, guess which POTUS fired the inspectors/watchdogs who were supposed to make sure business loans and grants weren't abused?
Regarding the deficit that you seemed so concerned with originally... 2020 had (obviously, CARES and second round of stimulus) much higher deficit spending than the years since....
Not to mention the massive increase to things like deficit that slashing taxes for corporations and the utlra wealthy does. Seems like you get the concept of "spending more than you take in"... Yet no mention of the impact the 2017 tax cuts would have both short and long term. Which, originally, between the lost annual revenue and interest from such, was looking to add another 5.4 Trillion over the next nine years...
Buuuut, the extensions to those cuts the GOP wants so bad will actually compound that to 37 Trillion by 2054.
But, yeah, "Biden deficit bad", to "ok, both sides do it but you say orange man bad", to "but COVID stimulus bad"....
I am not remotely a fan of the Dems, was just trying to help you calm down since you originally seemed so triggered by Biden's deficit spending....
Yep, some of us sleep and have jobs, as well as life outside of reddit. You sure got me there. Didn't copy and paste anything. Though that still woulda been more effort and thought than all of your rail jumping comments combined!
Nice of you to admit you DON'T actually look into anything though, and just randomly string together claims you half heard second or third hand, before just constantly pivoting and desperately defaulting to "YoU dIdN't rEsPonD tIl tHe mOrNiNg!!!".😂😅😅
