WASHINGTON — Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said he does not plan to extend several key emergency lending programs beyond the end of the year and asked the Federal Reserve to return the money supporting them, a decision that could hinder President-elect Joseph R. Biden Jr.’s ability to use the central bank’s vast powers to cushion the economic fallout from the virus.
…
By asking the Fed to return unused funds, Mr. Mnuchin could prevent Mr. Biden’s incoming Treasury secretary from quickly restarting the efforts at scale in 2021.
…
Mr. Mnuchin’s move could leave the government with fewer options to help the economy just as the new administration takes office.

? esch, ol’ buddy, forgive my cluelessness, but I don’t understand what you’re pitting Alan Greenspan about with regard to that article. I didn’t watch the accompanying video, but from the article, Greenspan is saying that the chief priorities of the Biden administration should be getting the pandemic under control and providing economic relief to people.
Admittedly, all Republicans nowadays have voluntarily chosen to identify with the party of gormless pieces of rat shit, but I’m frankly not seeing what makes Greenspan’s specific remarks a “stupid Republican idea”. Could be I’m just suffering from the stupid myself, of course.
Greenspan was a fuckwit was Fed Chief who just needs to clamp his gob in a vise to never open it again. I was not really responding to what he said but just that he is generally a lump of garbage who has done little in his official capacity but make things worse.
First there was the Pence fly, now the Guiliani dye. We need a third “hair malfunction” to make a GOP trifecta. Suggestions? I would like to see a gopher pop out of T****'s nest during a Fox interview (is he still giving those?)
It’s because the Demoncratic Deep State™ is so slick and subtle it stole or added hundreds of thousands – if not millions – of votes to deny Dear Leader his second term yet allowed the Demoncratic majority in the House narrow and did not secure a Demoncratic majority in the Senate.
All those county registrars should have been suspicious when those gunny sacks full of ballots with Biden marked in, but nothing down-ballot, showed up on their door steps, but they were too inept.
Oh yeah…It occurred to me when she described the places that she was particularly interested in hearing about that you might be in the district that she was running in. Not surprising that she’s also a COVID denier (or whatever you call the people who might admit it exists but don’t think they should take any precautions to protect themselves or others).
