Government Policy and Budget Discussion Thread (no politics)

Probably so. This is much better than 2008 for that reason. When that hit, there was no work, and no AR. No help at all from DC. Very painful experience. This is not that. The economy is fundamentally strong.

If some rent forgiveness can be managed, these restaurants may make it through, most of them.  I hope.

They should all be applying for relief too. It's available, unlike 2008/09, when relief money was generally only made available to big banks and big business. We tried and got nothing.

And yet vast majority of the relief this time around is still being made available only to big banks and big business. The bailout is really more like $6+ trillion, possibly even more when you account for the $4+ trillion from the FED in lending power for big banks and big business, authorization to bailout money market funds, and authorization through the FDIC to guarantee trillions in bank debt.

We're going to see a lot of big businesses get bigger, and a lot of small to medium sized businesses get either wiped out or bought up for pennies on the dollar.

These would be loans, right?  In the normal sense of the term?

is Pelosi really trying to launch ANOTHER investigation into the President and his handling of the coronavirus? This broad really is something else. She should investigate when she was in China town in San Fransisco telling people as late as February 24th to go to China town and come outside and party and spend that cash! No worries about Coronavirus! Come to China town! Spend your money! Stimulate the economy! Hang out with the Chinese! They are great people!

I'm sorry but I hate that hypocritical elitist talking out of both sides of her mouth and her ass double talking bitch in the worst way. And it has nothing to do with politics. It has everything to do with her being an evil, hypocritical bitch that is nothing but a bullshit artist and shill for the establishment/elites. She pretends to a champion of the common folk meanwhile the lady and her husband are worth hundreds of millions of dollars and she could give a shit less about the common folk.

This is just going to blow up in the Dems face. Biden is going to get slaughtered by Trump imo. The debates will just be murder on live television.

Yes, to start. My accountant explained to me that some or all could/would be forgiven if we don't lay anyone off.

If she did indeed say that well then she should be caned.If she knew that according to your stats 400,000 Chinese People visited this country in January.Many I'm sure on business,many also to visit relatives on the West Coast that has a sizeable Chinese-American community.If all that is accurate then by any measure of justice she should be sent packing

Pelosi visited Chinatown in San Fran on February 24th. 25 days after the President enacted the travel ban to China- the ban in which many of the morons in the mainstream media tried claiming he was a racist for doing.

I can, and do blame Pelosi. She's an evil bitch and aside from the Clinton's, probably the biggest hypocrite in politics that I think I have ever witnessed in my life.

Biden is going to get absolutely clobbered by Trump. The guy can barely speak properly. He CLEARLY is showing sings of early stages of dementia. I'm not even trying to be funny. There is something obviously wrong there. I feel bad for the guy. He's freaking 78 years old after all. If the guy actually got elected (which he won't) he would be 79 on his first term with 4 more years to go. That job ages you like no other job. He likely wouldn't make it through.

Was there something about no politics in this thread?
