Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin wants to funnel unspent stimulus money into the American economy, he said on Thursday evening.
Mnuchin suggested the unspent money could be used to extend unemployment benefits and assist hard-hit small businesses in travel, entertainment, and restaurants. The move would require congressional approval. The Fed programs at the center of the dispute were instituted shortly after the CARES Act was passed. Congress allocated $454 billion to the Treasury to backstop Fed lending and settle roiling markets as the pandemic first struck.partially because of stringent terms governing some of the programs.
Despite all the job losses caused by Covid shutdowns, Americans have saved $2 trillion. Targeting unused money to those that need it most is a far better strategy than continuing ‘blanket’ stimulus programs which could exacerbate inequality.
'We're working on mass distribution of the virus,' Treasury Secretary Mnuchin tells CNBC - no wonder the country is a shambles when you have morons like this in the administration
The stimulus money was intended to be revenue neutral, if he gets his way, it won't be.
