If your argument is that the federal government made some stupid mistakes in an effort to run cash into the economy to prevent its collapse, I don't think anyone would argue any different.
Of all of the things I am pissed of at this federal government for, this is somewhere around page 672 of my list. If there was ever a time for QE, this is it. It could have been done better for sure, but getting cash into the economy quickly was the key here.
The real problem was the fact that the fed had kept interest rates artificially low during the "GREATEST ECONOMY EVER" and had done nothing to empty their books of the previous QEs, nor had they done anything to return the economy to a state where the private sector was primarily responsible for growth instead of using bodies of the federal government to prop it up artificially. The fact that we were still running trillion dollar deficits on top of everything else is almost criminal. Now when we actually NEED to be running huge deficits and need real Fed intervention, the tools are limited and muted due to the waste of the last decade. This is the time to be propping up the economy. Honestly, we should be running much higher unemployment and government payment programs so we can minimize COVID exposures by having as many people as possible stay home. Now we have to tell people to go back to work and die because the federal government is impotent to protects its people financially AND medically. People have to choose one or the other.
