his plan to stimulate demand for small businesses, to keep them from looming mass shutdowns.. the $1,000 must be spent in 10 days.

what do you think? keep in mind that Trump has already spent trillions of dollars, with more trillions coming soon..

it is as well defined as that previous small business loan program, where much of the money was stolen by non-needy companies, some of who were shamed into giving it back.

And if Cuban's concept is sound and thinking out of the box, it should certainly be vetted to how it's actually going to work and is the need for a unvetted weekly check that must just be spent.

How about just admitting that the shutdown was a huge fuck up, and let everyone get back to their lives. Easy peasy and the only cost is a bit of embarrassment.

Absolutely, President Trump fucked up in grand fashion. In his defense, people supposedly in the know scared TF out of him with that bullshit 2.5 million deaths number. I’d have probably overreacted in light of that as well. At this point we have actual data, and it points to guys like Ioannidis, Wittkowski, and Levitt being absolutely right. Time for the President to take a mulligan and hope we can recover from this colossal mistake.

Why? Because the Main Stream Media would crucify him, and worse yet, the gullible and often moronic public would believe them.

At least now he can say......”we tried it your way, now let’s do it my way”.

Again, your characterization is inaccurate. The easiest thing would be to quote...
He added that while that plan is being implemented, an interim spending stimulus program should be put in place in which 128 million households get a $1,000 check every two weeks for the next two months, along with the rule that it must be spent within 10 days.

“Cost about $500b
Not a bad plan. The problem is THE SHUTDOWN. In order to get it businesses, bidness need to be open. It hasn't. And in many places it won't. I'd be buying even more Amazon stock though.

you are an extreme minority that thinks that.. if you are going to make a grand statement like this, surely you have facts and reason to back it up.. I'm waiting...

When that rich guy whose mother owned the gift shop (Carter?) bought the Mavericks way back when for $12 million (I'm going from memory) I thought that was a little high but it made sense. The prices for franchises now are just ridiculous - it needs to go way down.

However, his point is correct that for it to be a stimulus, the money needs to circulate and go to work.
