I Suspect We're Going To Need Another Stimulus Package Passed In Congress When We Beat This Virus...

[Note: I posted this as a response to another post here - but thought it needed to stand alone as its own post.]

Again - it should be directed to the American People and not the Corporations.

I believe there will be a pent-up demand for just about everything as we the people come out of self-isolation. People will be looking forward to eat at restaurants. Go to the movies. Hit a bar. Take a trip. Go to a ball game. Hit the casinos. All the events that have been postponed or cancelled will be rescheduled.

But we must keep in mind for that to happen - the People will need money to partake. That's why I believe that another stimulus directed to the People when this is behind us will provide them the ability to do all those things that we craved while in self-isolation.

As they go out and begin to live again the money that a new stimulus will provide them will be spent and passed on to bring the companies back to life and I believe the engine will churn again.

Right now, however, we can't jump the gun and stop doing all those things - like self distancing and self-isolation - that help us get through this crisis.

You can control your own environment. I use a baseball term: Safe At Home!!!!!

I'm glad we have the House. We can deflect some of the worst Repub disaster capitalistic impulses.
