The most ignorant part of that spending, however, was throwing 1.9 trillion dollars at an economy that was growing by 6+ percent at the time. In an Orwellian way, that package was called the "American Rescue Plan", and in effect had just the opposite effect. The chickens have come home to roost.
If you believe this is all related to Putin, then Biden is the guy for you. You deserve no better!
