17 Reasons to Let the Economic Optimism Begin 17 Reasons to Let the Economic Optimism Begin
"Goldman Sachs is calling for 2021 US GDP growth of 6.9%, the fastest since 1984. Morgan Stanley is even more bullish, predicting 7.3% growth."
After Biden stimulus, US economic growth could rival or even surpass China's - CNN
Well, ok. I highlighted the wrong thing.Dude, what do you think i mean? Gotta break out the blue font and quote it?
I doubt if the original intent or motive was to prop up the GDP.Because they didn't "take" it. They "borrowed" it. By definition, this spending adds to GDP. Biden learned this trick from Trump

Again, I doubt very seriously this was the first, second or even third thought in his mind. Also keep in mind that the Congress signed off on that also, so its not like they wanted to give Trump a victory with regards to GDP growth. Trying to just restore the economy and put money in people's hands was the main objective. You are one of the few people I've heard suggest it was a tactic to boost GDP. I'm not sure even his staunchest critics on the far left had even thought if that.You don't think Trump spent to prop up GDP? I would bet all my money he did. He loved touting GDP growth and this is the easiest way to get there. The other easy way is lowering interest rates and we all know how hard he was hitting the fed about that. Restricting imports is another way that you can try to increase GDP and where was he on that? It seems pretty clear to me this was a motivation. Why wouldn't it be?
I'd be interested to see how much remittances to Mexico and central America go up after these checks.Simplistic economics. $1.9T pumped into the economy economy grows by about $1.9T (if the money stays in a savings account or to pay off debt the economy doesn’t grow)
If the money is spent on Chinese goods that money leaves our economy so next year retraction
And since this was printed money not created goods, there will be equivalent inflation in years to come
