The Coming Return of Stimulus Checks & Recession.
FULL TRANSCRIPT
so we've got a channel member with a
comment here about stimulus checks and I
think it's a brilliant topic that we
should discuss the potential of steamy
checks coming back to America let's
Analyze This Garrett purrington says if
we hit a hard recession with this
Administration referring to the Biden
Administration between now and 2024 they
will simply give more handouts one way
or another pushing inflation the
push-pull in 10 years prices will be
skyrocketing
so let's try to break this down and
analyze if and how stimulus checks could
make it back to the United States and
boy stemi checks would be another fun
session of video topics that we haven't
got to talk about in quite a while so
let's talk about the potential of
semi-checks now I think the easiest way
to do it is draw it out so let's do it
together first I think in order to
expect stimulus of any kind we would
have to have massive pain and massive
job loss now Elizabeth Warren is already
expecting somewhere around 3 million job
losses and the way she accomplishes that
is by saying if the unemployment rate
today is 3.5 percent and the FED thinks
it'll go to 4.5 percent the FED then the
reality is once the unemployment rate
goes up one percent history suggests the
unemployment rate will go up another
percent so history suggests we're gonna
go here since we've got just over 150
million people working in America
history suggests we should have about 3
million job losses at the same time
economic forecasts are really calling
for a recession or a negative GDP growth
sometime in Q3 Q4 right around the
holidays uh and so call it a holiday
recession see Christmas sweater holiday
recession it's almost like I wore this
by Design
so what could potentially the impact of
a holiday recession be well first of all
if we're in a recession if we actually
hit a recession usually and historically
that that doesn't mean that it will
happen this time but usually and
historically the stock market bottoms at
the start of a recession
so if the stock market bottoms at the
start of a recession and the recession
hasn't technically started yet then pain
in the stock market could still be ahead
of us so the stock market usually
bottoms at the start of recession the
only way to really then historically
suggest that the stock market hasn't hit
it bottom yet or has already hit bottom
rather would be to say that there's no
recession which is possible that there's
not a recession but for the purposes of
arguing stimulus checks let's assume the
stock market hits a new bottom at the
same time we get mass joblessness that
is a a sudden wave of 3 million jobless
uh individuals and that joblessness
creates a jobless spiral jobless spiral
this is I think where the government
would want to intervene because remember
the velocity of money when one person
spends five dollars at a hot dog stand
the person who takes that five dollars
then goes and spends that five dollars
on an employee to help them at the hot
dog stand that employee then spends
their wages on goods and services car
cleanings a muffler for their car radar
detector for their car I don't know
whatever they want food basic
necessities laundry whatever and you
have this circulation through the
economy and modern economic thoughts
suggests that when somebody spends money
it usually circulates through the
economy about four to five times but if
three million people have less money to
actually spend on goods and services
then you could actually take away four
to five times as much money which would
basically means if three million people
don't have income you could see the
impact of what could be as much as 12
million people without jobs because of
the velocity of money amplification
effect
now obviously there are Employment
Insurance programs and this is actually
where I think the government could stop
a jobless spiral because if 12 million
people were out of work then earnings
that companies are going to plummet then
they're going to hire less people and
then you get the spiral less earnings
they fire more people they then hire
less people right so they hire less
people they fire more people so more
people permanently unemployed in the
cycle less people spending money leads
to less hiring and you basically just
have a depressionary spiral well the
Keynesian economic thought which is one
that our government and Federal Reserve
like to follow is that well if times are
tough we should stimulate the economy so
how might they do that to stop a jobless
spiral well there are a few ways they
might do that the easiest way to think
about this is first how are they likely
to uh continue uh supporting an
anti-jobless spiral regime well first we
know this with certainty already we
expect they would amplify uh the debt
ceiling it seems like when I type today
this uh this HDMI connector is just
trash I bought a new cable so I'll fix
this for next time but uh let's go back
here so the first thing they might do is
amplify the death ceiling which is
basically saying they'll raise the debt
ceiling right once you raise the debt
ceiling what can you then continue to do
well you could continue to spend on chip
related Investments why would you
continue to spend on chip related
Investments via the chips act where you
could basically just and you don't even
need Congress to do this remember this
you could literally have the Biden
Administration just read the law of the
chip sack where they've agreed to you
know 80 plus billion dollars in spending
in chip manufacturing and they could
just Loosely interpret it to where all
of a sudden instead of spending 80
billion dollars they're actually
spending 240 billion dollars yes a 3X is
possible that's what Goldman Sachs said
in a piece we covered just three days
ago where Goldman sax thinks that
institutional stimulus check spending
could actually be three times as
expensive as previously thought because
of the way the Biden Administration is
interpreting it so what if they just
interpret it so loosely that it's
actually a four or five times investment
well now what you're doing is you're
creating jobs by going into more debt
that's likely to happen in chips it's
likely to happen in EV it's likely to
happen in solar hydro and other
scientific based uh based in my opinion
Investments
that the Biden Administration can
justify under acts that have already
been passed so I think the debt ceiling
gets raised hands down if we're knocking
on a door of recession that then enables
the government to spend more money on
programs that they've already passed
without the help of a bipartisan
Congress
another thing that could potentially
happen and we don't know this is you
could potentially good Lord you could
potentially have a bipartisan effort on
expanding unemployment Protections in
the event that you have an unemployment
crisis now these unemployment benefits
would probably be conjoined with some
kind of demand that individuals work I
don't believe that Congress is going to
go back to the days of here's massive uh
unemployment compensation for no work I
think there will probably be a look for
work requirements if Congress were to
expand in a bipartisan way unemployment
protections but I think this would
probably be the biggest stimulative uh
effect that Congress would have uh on
the economy is not only the Biden
Administration in their own way
basically increasing stimulus checks
that have already been written remember
what Goldman Sachs said they said hey
we've got about 390 billion dollars in
stimulus checks that'll probably end up
costing around 1.2 trillion dollars
because the Biden Administration is just
going to Loosely interpret those rules
but I actually do think that Congress
could in a bipartisan way increase
unemployment compensation stimulus
checks as long as people agree that
they're looking for work I think that's
how you can get a pretty divided
Congress right now Democrats and
Republicans on the same page and
actually printing money again
supporting massive unemployment checks
for people who've been laid off
especially in dare I say the tax sector
I think there's a chance you're going to
see a high level of tech unemployment
and that's going to lead to higher
unemployment checks to make sure people
who basically funded
so frustrating who basically funded a
very expensive lifestyle
I feel like I'm taking a Nintendo switch
here I've got expensive HDMI cables
expensive Apple dongles but no
oh don't you just love seeing Kevin blow
anyway so I there's this chance that you
have the tech sector that has an
expensive much more expensive lifestyle
right more expensive cars more expensive
apartments or whatever that actually
ends up fueling calls for higher
unemployment checks because they are now
unemployed and regular unemployment
won't help them pay the bills they
signed up for under salaries that they
used to be used to because of
unemployment caps basically so there is
the potential that you see stimulus
checks come back in the form of higher
unemployment compensation as long as to
appease Republicans there's a look for
work requirement that's potent that's a
potential now what about straight up
just stimmy checks is it possible stimi
checks is it possible that the Federal
Reserve and Congress issue stemi checks
well first you have to ask would the FED
print more money in the event uh of a
painful recessionary Dynamic that lasts
long so in Long recession right so let's
say Q3 Q4 we go into recession and by q1
2024 we're still in recession basically
the Fed uh went too far
is it possible that maybe instead of
getting stimmy checks to the tune of you
know twelve hundred dollars and then
fourteen hundred dollars and then
actually it was the other way around it
was twelve hundred dollars then we had
the six hundred dollars then we had the
fourteen hundred dollars from the Biden
step up then you had the uh child uh tax
credit right is it possible that we end
up getting a revisit of some form of
stemi checks maybe do I think it would
ever be to the degree that we saw here
very unlikely it's very unlikely we
would go back to this kind of stimulus
however is it possible that there would
be a a one-off maybe I think before
you'd ever get to a runoff and there was
you would not want to pray for that
because I think we would be in a pretty
deep recession if you prayed for that
but I do think that they'd probably go
back to some of the protections that
they previously had which were very
inflationary the expansion of the uh the
money supply is what created the
inflation that we have today but I think
they would actually and potentially make
the same inflationary mistakes that we
had the last time around just to a
slightly lower degree
I think though you could almost say with
certainty okay so let's let's put some
odds on this I think you could say with
certainty
uh that is like 99 likelihood uh which
is basically certainty that they are
going to Via the Biden Administration
print their way out of whatever
recession we're going into by dumping
money showering money into the chip
sector and the energy sector the
inflation reduction Act was a ruse
it's not going to reduce inflation it's
going to increase inflation
but because they told Republicans it was
going to be deficit neutral and
everybody believed them and now the
Biden Administration can Loosely
interpret every rule they want
there's going to be a massive amount of
spending here so if you're looking for a
job you're probably always going to be
able to get a job in chips manufacturing
EV solar Hydro you name it
over there I don't think there'll be a
shortage of jobs which I actually think
is going to be fantastic if you're
exposed to those kinds of stocks
now with maybe a 40 chance
I would say congress actually works
together to raise unemployment
compensation as long as there are look
for work requirements I'd actually go as
far as saying 40 to 60 percent in the
event we're in a recessionary
environment
oh and then stemmies I'd probably say a
one-off has maybe under the Biden admin
maybe a 20 chance but it would really
require a dirty recession so you
probably wouldn't want to go down that
direction uh so uh that that would be a
little scary so somebody here says why
would you stimulate the truth is out
there says why would you stimulate the
economy while at the same time at the
same time slowing the economy so the
only way this really plays out in my
opinion is that inflation is conquered
so inflation ends up proving to be
transitory right that so let me give you
an example of what that could look like
with data that's already happening uh I
want to pull up a NatWest piece and then
I want uh the costs for shipping
I have all I have so much data on my
iPad it's insane but uh it's somewhere
around here there got it that wasn't bad
look at this shipping costs out of China
I even wrote next to it this is what
transitory looks like okay that right
there is what transitory inflation looks
like so I know a lot of people are going
to say hey wait a minute how could you
possibly go back to stimulus checks if
you have all this crazy inflation well
you can't
here's how you go back to stimulus
checks okay
number one
inflation goes away inflation goes away
it goes away that's number one so step
number one is inflation goes away
however
to get there oh it's so annoying however
to get there you actually had to push
the economy into a nasty recession so
let's write that however now in uh nasty
oh my Lord whatever man uh you're now
you're in a nasty recession so inflation
goes away and now you're in a nasty
recession now that you're in a nasty
recession and you have no inflation
guess what the government can now do
they can print uh their way back out
but less than last time so that becomes
the rule right so the rule becomes look
we'll print but we just need to make
sure we're printing less than last time
because we don't want to create the
inflation again that we did last time so
let's draw that out for you for a moment
so inflation goes away however now we're
in a nasty recession so we want to print
our way out but we're going to do so
less than last time so imagine this I'm
going to draw a really big orange line
here and this is going to be inflation
okay so let's say we get inflation that
does this okay and then it goes negative
so we're actually at deflation well now
the government prints money via stimulus
checks or increased unemployment or
chips or EVS whatever so they print
money to push inflation back up and they
basically try to cause that right that's
the goal will they be able to accomplish
that probably not they'll probably screw
something up because that's what they're
really good at
but it could happen it could absolutely
happen that we end up falling into
deflation just like this chart shows you
I mean look at this chart this is
shipping costs out of China plummet
that's what our inflation is probably
going to look like now is it possible
that it'll look a little bit more like
this you know where where basically it
takes it stays higher for longer you
know it could even to some extent kind
of look like that right is it possible
yes
but if we get to deflation because of a
deep dark recession
I think they'll turn the printers right
back on and we'll be right back to
stimulus check 17.
so yes it is possible but there's
another thing that is possible as well
