Push it up 50 percent. This quarter trillion dollars is going straight on the debt pile so it will hurt a lot, just not today.
- Alupis 4y agoWithout getting political - does it even matter anymore? Trillions of dollars were just thrown out the window to whoever could catch some... and few if anyone has any idea where most of it actually went. At least this money will have a tangible, appreciable outcome. Supply chain security for such critical things such as chips is really hard to overstate the importance of for the US.
