And no one was worried about "socialism" when the tax payers gave tons of cash to the rich. Certain people only seem to worry about "socialism" when it helps regular people.

> no one This is an article in the Economist decrying it, so I don't think you can claim that no one is worried.

  yeah, an article in a publication where the authors are anonymous because the views published in it are painfully true enough to make you real life enemies

    all of the economist articles are anonymous https://www.economist.com/the-economist-explains/2013/09/04/why-are-the-economists-writers-anonymous https://www.economist.com/the-economist-explains/2013/09/04/...

  >so I don't think you can claim that no one is worried. No that isn't what I claimed, I claimed no one was worried. Using an article written almost two years after fact as proof against my claim doesn't make a whole a lot of sense. Now obviously my no one claim is hyperbole but the fact the bill's passing was near-unanimous is my point. Using one of the very few no votes in congress as proof against my claim would make a lot more sense.

The same "no one" that was unable to predict inflation? Come on. Maybe you just listen to the wrong sources.

Let's not forget that a lot of people were distracted with other things: Trump getting impeached for the second time and a global pandemic are the two that come to mind

I know plenty of people who got fat checks and were quite open about pointing out that it was socialism, and a complete waste of money.
