What's my take.
I believe Joe Biden and his commitment to spend trillions of dollars.
I can also easily see a $5 - $8 trillion dollar deficit this year (if not more) and this is why.
$1 trillion for the elimination of student debt
$1 trillion in direct aid to families via through $2,000 checks.
$2 trillion for a revamped unemployment insurance and rent forbearance program
$3 trillion in aid to cities and states with impossible debt levels and unsustainable pension funds.
$1 trillion for projects that Democrats have always dreamed about.
.... and then there is quantitative easing and the trillions involved in that.
