(1,584 posts)Give the people what they lost in wages and let us the market decide where to spend it.
Only help businesses that are critical to national defense and sovereignty. Boeing, under a new board and management and strict rules - because we need aircraft manufacturing capability. To a lesser extent the airlines. Auto companies seem ok so far.
Help small businesses. And its time to make Amazon into a market platform rather than an oligopoly.
Refinance all loans at 1% secured and 5% unsecured. Since we are fully compensating lost wages, people will still qualify without lowering criteria. No cash out. This is all loans, including credit cards moved to a consolidated 5% loan since it is unsecured.
Offer Medicare for the unemployed. They can choose to stay on it or take employer plan once reemployed. One time choice.
That leaves a ton of money for an infrastructure plan. Corporations can bid for a piece of that pie.
