The Stimulus has passed The Senate. In a time of much-needed relief after days of negotiations, the Coronavirus Stimulus bill is projected to pass through The House, and cash will soon be distributed to Americans who need it most. Costing upwards of two trillion dollars, this spending bill is the largest the world has ever seen… but Congress did not achieve such a feat without usual discourse… So how did both sides overcome their hurdling partisanship in order to compromise on a deal that ended up costing double what original numbers suggested?

Also, my advice to you about The President: don’t listen to him. After being wrong in the past, misleading in the present, and likely mendacious in the future, it is just better to listen to the experts; all of whom contradict him on almost every single issue. Who are these experts, what are they saying, and is there anyone worth listening to in the Executive branch right now? The answer is yes… but who?

We’ll answer all of that and more on episode 129 of The Jay Doherty Podcast.
