  • Putting the Size of the Needed COVID-19 Fiscal Response in Perspective by Chye-Ching Huang, Chad Stone, Katie Windham, and Jennifer Beltrán
    1275 First Street NE, Suite 1200 Washington, DC 20002 Tel: 202-408-1080 Fax: 202-408-1056 [email protected] www.cbpp.org Updated July 24, 2020 Putting the Size of the Needed COVID-19 Fiscal Response in Perspective By Chye-Ching Huang, Chad Stone, Katie Windham, and Jennifer Beltrán The severe and unprecedented size of the health, human, and economic crisis caused by COVID- 19 should determine the size of the legislative response — not arbitrary dollar comparisons to stimulus in prior recessions, the level of debt, or the debt ratio. The United States has the fiscal space to take the action needed to address the health care needs, economic damage, and personal hardships from the COVID-19 crisis. The costs of doing too little include lost wages, lost jobs, and lost work experience. The people most vulnerable to the adverse effects of recessions are those who already faced barriers to economic opportunity — including low-income workers and workers of color. The harm to these workers, together with the impact of business closures and lost investment, can damage the economy’s future productivity. Doing too little to lessen these costs will slow the recovery and will likely cause the economic damage to be both greater and longer lasting. The longer-run cost of an aggressive fiscal response is low; the United States has the fiscal space to act, as leading mainstream economists, including former Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen and former International Monetary Fund (IMF) Chief Economist Olivier Blanchard have pointed out. Harvard economist Gregory Mankiw, who served as a chairman of President George W.

Flashback to 2007: the iPhone is a technological miracle, the Black Eyed Peas are topping the charts, and a freshman Senator from Illinois is about to embark on a journey that will define the next century. My name is Carter and I’m thrilled to be your Chair as you all drive a campaign to take America by storm. A bit about myself: I’m a third year in the College at the University of Chicago, studying Political Science (and probably another major or a few minors, as long as I can keep a high GPA for law school)! I originally hail from Louisville, Kentucky (pronounced Loo-a-vul)--home of horse racing, fried chicken, and Muhammad Ali. Outside of coursework, I’m the Vice President of our competitive Model UN Team, and am a Crisis Director for a committee (The Virgin Group, 2020) at ChoMUN, our collegiate Model UN conference. This is my second year at MUNUC--last year I staffed the Cabinet of Uzbekistan, 1991. I also work at UChicago’s Community Programs Accelerator as a consultant for nonprofits on Chicago’s South Side, and spend my limited free time exploring this beautiful city and finding good food.
