The Senate just passed the 2 trillion dollar relief package. Keep in mind, the entire Federal budget for 2019 was 4 trillion dollars. We are going to be paying for this bill for a long, long time. The most important aspect of this bill to me is that it gives people a sense that the government is doing something about the fact that, through no fault of their own, they have lost their jobs. It also gives businesses a way to hang on till the infection curve flattens out. Hope is powerful...and expensive. This is not a time for the gimmees. It's the time to help people who have suffered real financial loss hang in there till the economy can get moving again.
