White House and admin. officials to present President Trump with a set of economic stimulus options as early as Monday afternoon, including a plan to offer paid sick leave to those affected by the coronavirus and assistance for the hardest hit industries.

But there is still internal discussion on the best way forward and a consensus has not emerged, they said.

Both the president and Vice President Mike Pence, as well as Treasury and White House officials, have been consulting with industry groups on the kind of immediate relief that they might require. The White House has invited Wall Street executives to come to the White House on Wednesday to discuss the response.

One option not high on the list is a tax cut similar to the one offered by President George W. Bush, in which Americans were sent a check in the mail to help boost consumer spending. Trump’s top economic adviser Larry Kudlow said Friday that this type of stimulus is not effective.

Sometimes incompetence leads to problems. Doubling down on more debt isn’t the answer

Socialism be like

Does the best ever economy really need a stimulus package?😭😭😭such a joke.

Who is paying for this. I am sure it will not be the top 1%. So what program will Trump cut now that we may need. Of course, his wall will still have priority.

Socialism: you’re soaking in it.

Sick leave MUST be mandatory & available for ALL employees In The US! Just like in Every Other “Advanced” Country IN THE WORLD!!!

states will get emergency funds; states need 2 appropriate effectively; time 2 close ports of entry 4 passenger planes&ships allow'g only cargo vessels. done early DER will be less economic impact, we may have less tourists but at least residence will still B will'g 2go out&work

No thanks

It's not going to stop the market from tubing! That's almost as the stupid comments last week telling investors to 'buy on the dip'! What it is going to take, is a vaccine. Put every pharma company on it, and it could happen in weeks. Throwing money at one only, it takes years!

Socialism

First question: wasn’t this the media & Dems new hoax? If so why introduce an economic plan?

What good will that do if China cuts off all medical compounds.

But isn’t that welfare?!

But Trump said you should work if you're sick.

Bull, big companies don’t need a bailout, they just got a huge tax break.

Please...no! the market was artificially high, it needs an adjustment. Let it ride this out.....please! if not, a larger/longer correction is coming!!

Economic stimulus, AKA socialism

Trump wants to know which one will make HIM look the best, and the least guilty of not leading.

You mean like Socialism stuff?

How stupid this is all becoming. The madness continues to drain our Country and put the USA in debt even farther.
