Donald's Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin Thinks $1200 Will Last Families Up To 10 Weeks

Mod: That strange Munchkin dude doesn't have a clue about what life in America costs right now. Nor does he care. As long as he and the Orange Madman have a trillion dollar slush fund to monkey around with, he's good.

Steve Mnuchin Thinks $1200 Will Last Families Up To 10 Weeks (Hill Reporter link): Steve Mnuchin, the Secretary of the Treasury, came to the White House after a long career working with Goldman Sachs and then a variety of hedge funds. At the last count, the former financier’s net worth came in at an estimated $400 million.

With the kind of nest egg, it could be difficult for Mnuchin to imagine the cost of things for everyday Americans. During a Sunday appearance on CBS’ Face the Nation, the Treasury Secretary said that the $1200 relief checks should hold families over for up to 10 weeks.

The host of the program, Margaret Brennan, pointed out that the money won’t stretch very far in some areas of the country.

Mnuchin replied, “I think the entire package provides economic relief overall for about 10 weeks. Hopefully we will kill this virus quicker and we won’t need it, but we have liquidity to put into the American economy to support American workers and American business.”

Mod: In other words, let them eat cake.

Pelosi drops the mic on Trump over his COVID-19 pandemic failures: ‘As the president fiddles, people are dying’ (Raw Storylink): Appearing on CNN’s “State of the Union” with host Jake Tapper, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) was unsparing in her criticism of Donald Trump and spoke bluntly of his failures to deal with the coronavirus pandemic.

“First let me say how sad it is that ever since the president’s signing of the [stimulus] bill, the number of deaths reported has doubled from 1,000 to 2,000 in our country,” the California Democrat began. “This is such a very, very sad time for us. So we should be taking every precaution. The president? His denial at the beginning was deadly. His delaying of getting equipment to where it — his continued delay in getting equipment to where it’s needed is deadly.

Not rallying around the 'president' any more.

“We have to have be testing, testing, testing,” she continued. “That’s what we said from the start, before we can evaluate what the nature of it is in some of these other regions as well. … I don’t know what the scientists are saying to him. I don’t know what the scientists said to him. When did this president know about this, and what did he know? What did he know and when did he know it? That’s for an after-action review. But as the president fiddles, people are dying and we just have to take every precaution.”
