The steroid-driven US fiscal policy since the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic has caused a glut of US dollars in the financial markets. Guess the amount of dollars the United States has pumped into the economy so far? My back-of-the-envelope calculation puts a figure close to $5 trillion.
The previous US administration announced two stimulus packages, of $2 trillion and $900 billion, within six months last year. The Joe Biden administration, on the other hand, has announced a $1.9 trillion stimulus package so far. And while more funds are likely to be stuffed into Biden s $2.3 trillion infrastructure bill, the Republicans are already blaming the federal aid of $300 per week to people for the lackluster job market recovery.
