Dr. Michael Strain, Director of Economic Policy Studies at the American Enterprise Institute, authored this oped for the Wall Street Journal: Congress Can Take the Economic Edge off Covid-19. With this oped, Dr. Strain became one of the first economists to call on Congress to provide direct cash assistance to Americans since the coronavirus outbreak -- and DC has taken note. Earlier this week, the Trump administration announced its support for immediate cash payments to Americans while Congress moves quickly to craft the parameters of its proposed $1 trillion stimulus plan, with Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin noting that “We’re looking at sending checks to Americans immediately...And I mean now, in the next two weeks.”  Strain joins the Dom Giordano program to discuss and dissect Trump's stimulus plan to fight Coronavirus.
