Martijn KoningsGUEST
42:59
Then the CARES Act and sort of other related income support measures created a huge budget deficit.
Martijn KoningsGUEST
43:08
And it fell to the Federal Reserve to buy all this debt or at least manage it, which was, of course, very explicit monetary financing of government deficits.
Martijn KoningsGUEST

But in addition to all this, the Fed also started buying non-government debts.

Um, a lot of the, the problems we're dealing with now with inflation started under, under Trump.
Tim KellyGUEST
62:00
Well, this goes way back actually, but I'm saying the immediate problems, you know, with the CARES Act and the, uh, whole, uh, BlackRock bailout scheme of Wall Street, um, occurred under Trump.
Tim KellyGUEST
62:11
And so that, that, that whole scam went down under, under Trump.
Tim KellyGUEST
62:15
Um, but wasn't it Anthony Fauci who said, was it in 2017, that Trump would be confronted with a pandemic or something? [laughs]

So It's totally valid if you just send that speech to my neighbor's pocket and then my neighbor will spend on my bed and we'll just, DC will get wealthier and the rest of the country, who cares about you, right? That world where the imbalance was like real economy, Main Street got 20, DC, New York got 80.
Matt DinesGUEST
64:13
That's done because once we got to the point with like COVID CARES Act, you're literally paying people not to work Main Street got a buck, and financial speculators, bureaucrats, et cetera.
Matt DinesGUEST
64:34
It just went straight to the wealthy.
Matt DinesGUEST
64:36
And then what this is actually doing is it's just accelerating all these trends that you hear everybody pulling their hair about.
CannConHOST
16:52
Right.
CannConHOST

That was part of the CARES Act and, you know, all the other crap that we passed during the quote unquote pandemic pandemic.
CannConHOST
17:00
That was, you know, that was the Federal Reserve saying, yeah, let's ramp up those printing machines and let's make all this money and send you guys your checks for twelve hundred dollars or six hundred dollars.
CannConHOST
17:09
I don't remember how much it was at this point.
CannConHOST
17:11
Not realizing that the inflation that you're creating by doing that, the the The amount of taxes that you're going to see increase because of that.
CannConHOST
17:20
I did the math on it one time and that $1,200 over the course of paying it back came out to something like taking in the entirety of the CARES Act and the bills that were passed came out to like $35,000 or $40,000 over the course of your lifetime that you're going to have to pay back for that $1,200 or $2,400 or whatever it was.
CannConHOST
17:42
It was absolutely insane.
CannConHOST
17:44
this again is is perhaps i i don't know if if there's a way we can go back to a tariff system i'd rather him come out and say hey if we can pay you every single grown american five thousand dollars we can certainly cut your taxes down to a bare minimum and i would be much more inclined to accept that uh idea and i think more americans would be like wait wait wait i can either have five thousand dollars now or i can have a significant reduction in my taxes for years to come i i would i would think that we would take the significant reduction
HarryHOST

Fair play to him.
HarryHOST
23:35
And also the original stimulus checks from the pandemic, which was an initial one of, what was it, $1,200? And then he had a later one after the CARES Act of $600.
HarryHOST
23:47
So it gave you almost $2,000, which, if I remember correctly, was mainly used by ghetto Americans to buy new trainers.
HarryHOST
23:56
So it kept the economy going, though.
Wendy BellHOST
2:07
We're not the ones deciding this.
Wendy BellHOST

I wouldn't have voted for the CARES Act.
Wendy BellHOST
2:12
I wouldn't have voted for the Infrastructure Whatever the Hell Act.
Wendy BellHOST
2:15
I wouldn't have done any of that.

Lindsey GrangerHOST

The voting system is not set up for payment in return for an outcome.
Lindsey GrangerHOST
20:14
That's not how we want to run our election system.
Lindsey GrangerHOST
20:15
You talk about issues coming up in elections.
Lindsey GrangerHOST
20:35
based on pumping up the economy, right? So the idea is either you believe in trickle-down theory or you believe in another theory.
Lindsey GrangerHOST
20:41
No, I'm being direct.
Lindsey GrangerHOST
20:42
I think that the difference is the direct statement and the payment.
Lindsey GrangerHOST
20:45
Okay,
Matt DinesHOST
21:07
And then now we also on the horizon see a larger role for digitally native monetary rails, all of those things coming together at some point in the future.
Matt DinesHOST
21:20
And very fuzzily, as ridiculous as all of these headlines kind of feel as you see them in real time, that $5,000 check for every American, it's not going to It's not going to come in the same form as CARES Act with like a debit card in the mail that everybody got.
Matt DinesHOST
21:38
I think that's how they issued them.
