    Yeah it was those three checks, and not the massive block and categorical stimulus to states and corporations that dwarfed those up to 10x in size (and actually led to a fairly soft landing post Covid.)

    Get this shit lib stuff out of here. And you’re not even that good at it. From a shit lib perspective, those actually made the situation not so bad. Trumps trade wars, foreign policy and gestapo are why we are here today. Full stop.

    You sound like a confused paint eating MAGA

    $800b in personal stimulus>4-5T in corporate and government stimulus, per you… wtaf

      Never said those other things aren’t what helped get us here. That’s why I gave the broader number of trillions and not just billions.

      Also, you’re calling me a MAGA when you’re the one actively defending a trump policy and decision… I’ve got two years of profile history that shows I’m not MAGA, you’ve been on here 5 days.

      When you give out “free” money whether to people or to corporations and you don’t continue it and only do it as a one time you effectively create inflation. Lots of people NEEDED money during the pandemic, and I’m not against that. It’s the culmination of multiple government hand outs to people and corporations with no active thought put into what they’re trying to do that creates a loaded system.

      It’s a fucking comment thread my dude. I’m not diving in with whole ass articles and a research paper just to make some fucking thread noob happy because he think I’m someone I’m not.

        Where did I defend a Trump policy? I implied Biden led us to a soft landing…

        And yeah sure you are blaming the individuals and not the massive corps who received literally 10x the amount of stimulus as your corporate buddies.

        And maybe you’re playing a long astroturfed game? Who knows. Doesn’t make your view any more relevant or factual.

        And you’re right, you said the checks are what led us here, and the other 4.2 trillion “helped” that 800 billion raise inflation… oooookaaay budddyyy.
