Brian Gilmore, I'm not sure if you are saying this was Obama's recklessness? He came to the rescue of the U.S. financial system which was necessary (with an extraordinary money amount at the time). Leiman Broters had already fallen. Unfortunately, there was little consideration or provision for folk hurt further down who lost their jobs and homes etc. This was a huge mistake and contributed to the idea of two Americas -- one economically mobile and another left without opportunity.

We revised our thinking on relief packages in dealing with COVID and the federal did place money in pockets across America.

Many thanks
