At some point it needs to be extensive enough to provide REAL relief worthy of the tax increase it requires to attain fiscal balance and sustainability.

Basic Income CAN be realized, but not like this. Not piecemeal, and not without being paid for.

Hopefully the benefits here are heartfelt by our people. To raise public awareness and support for the program.

It's stupid, we can't spend our way out of it. I am not saying it because i am not getting any stimulus payment as result of making too much, i am saying because it will cost inflation. We are just printing money left and right and it needs to stop. By end of summer everyone that wants t be vaccinated will be able to with exception of kids as it's just not approved for them.

Yeah, send me another check Uncle Chuckles. A Grand Canyon/Sedona trip with a little Verde River fishing trip on the side. Thanks!

Around 1.8-1.9%. It likely soon to be over 2% as result of the latest relief bill.
2% is the stated inflation target of the federal reserve and the US has been operating at substantially below that target for the last 10+ years.

I hope what you’re saying is accurate and above 2% inflation actually happens for a sustained period. This would be good for the average american and would help the fed make up some ground on its target.

It's best to reopen the economy and let people get back to work

Cool, so mask up, social distance, until we can get people that actually go to work vaccinated full tilt. Instead we vaccinated people that are most vulnerable and aren't 9-5'ers, which was fine with me.

I'm sure you'll agree.

Controlling the virus and reopening the economy go hand in hand. But conservatives seem to prefer sacrificing a lot of bodies on the way instead

Lunatics. Controlling the spread would've mitigated economical impact. Instead, yolo and jesus was their answer.

I am immune i had Covid.

You should still wear a mask, AND get a vaccine.


If I have already had COVID-19 and recovered, do I still need to get vaccinated with a COVID-19 vaccine?

Yes, you should be vaccinated regardless of whether you already had COVID-19. That’s because experts do not yet know how long you are protected from getting sick again after recovering from COVID-19. Even if you have already recovered from COVID-19, it is possible—although rare—that you could be infected with the virus that causes COVID-19 again. Learn more about why getting vaccinated is a safer way to build protection than getting infected.

If we are going to spend more money we need to focus on infrastructure which is sorely needed. I don't think we should do both.
