38. Maybe not but that is why one cannot govern like running a household
We can't pretend that taking what seems to be the best bet may also have consequences just as dire as we as a country are forced to walk the plank over and over until many more people will face living in cars or just in the street and many others taken down a peg or two which will further constrict demand.

Flat out, you cannot logically justify cutting that much broad demand nor the ripple effect cuts for 60 billion to anything, especially when that bandaid is temporary and will dictate even more cuts which will put even more into a pickle including the unemployed because killing that much demand and cutting off any possible new efforts makes it that much more unlikely they can't find a job.

Cutting off your face to save the nose.
