Spend More, Spend NOW!!

I have heard reports that I have not been able to confirm that there are professional economists and thus, some Capitol Hill Democrats, that are calling for even more immediate government spending to help stabilize the economy.


I wish I was joking, but I'm not.


The need is there to prevent our country's economy from stalling and to keep salaries and hourly rates for the "American worker" stable.


Has anyone else heard or read anything about this, within the last 3 days or so?


Personally, even Warren Buffett would have a hard time selling me that another government stimulus package is needed.

I have to agree with you.

The song, "American Pie" seems most appropriate now, but not in that reflective, nostalgic way.

We could see the end of the Great American Dream.....and the beginning of the Great American Nightmare.....

Folks ought to get prepared for the worst and yet have hope for the best, as often the worst can bring out the best in good folks......

Biden was quoted as admitting that while America is going bankrupt, to make money, we have to continue spending it.

Craniotomies are often followed by some cognitive processing impairment.

If they wanted spending and more of it, they should have NOT put that money into select companies but into the hands of consumers and small businesses
