My bigger concern is that McConnell outmaneuvers Biden on economic relief and gets Biden to agree to crippling longterm austerity measures in exchange for short term stimulus. After all, the deficit only seems to matter when Dems are in the White House.

That's probably true. For the first two years that the Dems are the minority in the Senate they'll have to focus on governing by (reversing) executive order and the professional administration of the federal departments by those that aren't cronies and robber barons.
Hopefully, they can get a couple more Senate seats in 22 and get some real legislation passed.
