In the US, the COVID relief bill has passed the House of Representatives and the Senate and we learned that only 9% of the $1.9 trillion in the plan goes to actual COVID relief.  The 9% includes $1,400 for individuals earning less than $50,000 and several hundred billion dollars for small business relief although it’s unclear how the small business money will directly help the specific small businesses that were hurt the most.  It seems clear that this is another bill that won’t do what is needed but will certainly lead to a tax increase. Joe Biden said this could increase GDP by $1 trillion.  Imagine that.  Spend $1.9 trillion for a $1 trillion return.  Where I come from that’s a pretty bad investment so in response to their bloated, stupid bill, I present my simple plan and explain how it will help everyone involved.
