Although that Pandemic election was some Grad A asshattery.
But we also have to acknowledge the downstream effects of that spending and be looking for solutions to return to normal and rectify the after-effects rather than just point the finger at the past and shrug our shoulders and say 'couldnt be helped.'
I also acknowledge that some of these after-effects are Global, but we have to look after our own house as best we can.

Then I don’t get your point. The spending was needed but was targeted in the wrong place? The source of the funds was wrong? The amount?
The tap has largely been turned off and the actual repercussions are just being found. I actually don’t think all of the announced spending was actually executed on, making the real situation less dire than the perceived one.
Although I am no expert, I think the economy has rebounded faster than expected and the current “recession” talk is premature. The amount of record profits yet “not good enough long term signals” is a major sign of the flaws and greed in the market.
