Changes: $1,400 Stimulus Check Package & Janet Yellen Update!
FULL TRANSCRIPT
hey everyone we kevin here with an
update on stimulus and what janet yellen
just said first the paycheck protection
program will have a massive change
coming out
on wednesday businesses with more than
20 employees will be completely blocked
from applying for the ppp
loan starting wednesday for two weeks
this is an
effort to provide smaller businesses the
opportunity
to get in line for a paycheck protection
program loan
which is forgivable money if you follow
the rules of the program
if you haven't signed up for the ppp yet
and you're self-employed or running
business
go to a website like medkevin.com veeam
v-e-e-n
all you need is your tax return your
corporate tax return if you have a
corporation
driver's license last month bank
statement and uh they usually ask you
for a voided
check as well if you have this
information taking like 15 minutes bang
it out do it apply
i'm not affiliated with this company but
go to metkevin.com
veem now in fairness i have to start the
video off with some form of an affiliate
link so make sure to go to medkevin.com
bf and get up to 250 in cryptocurrency
so you can see
your money evaporate oh gosh sorry
that's a reference to the market being
rough today uh i mean so you could see
your money make seven percent in
interest well on whatever's left but
anyway go to medkevin.combf
and uh yeah check it out okay let's keep
going with the update
janet yellen spoke today the american
rescue plan she says
gets money to the people who need it she
spoke this morning
on a new york times column with an
anchor from cnbc
which i thought was an interesting mix
but anyway rental assistance stimulus
checks unemployment child tax credits
all of these things are tools to get
money to people who need it she says
and she says that the money we spend
will pay for itself
she says that interest rates have been
drifting down we don't need to be
worried about inflation
just look at traditional measures
everything is fine there's no need to
worry there's no need to panic banks are
doing really well
everything is absolutely fine just
whatever you do
do not i beg of you do not
look at what tesla stock is doing today
because whatever it's doing today
and it's certainly by no means on screen
today but whatever tesla is doing today
has nothing to do with being down a lot
okay moving on
okay so anyway uh let's uh instead move
on to the other things janet ellen
talked about like hey how about a
financial transactions tax are we going
to see a financial transaction tax
janet yellen might not think so she says
it's worth looking into
but she's worried that a financial
transactions tax would end up hurting
retail investors more
instead she says instead of trying to
stimulate the economy and bought
or stimulate the government's
pocketbooks
by taxing people when they buy or sell
stocks she says that focusing on
corporate
taxation is much more important raising
the corporate tax rate maybe not as high
as it used to be in the 30
35 plus percent range uh but instead
raising the corporate tax rate from
where it is now at 21
to 28 she's also not in favor of a
wealth tax because it's difficult to
implement
but does believe that eliminating these
stepped-up tax bases could be worth
looking into
then she talks about how bitcoin is
extremely inefficient
and it takes too much energy to well
process
and to create proof of work this is
something that has been a very large
criticism of
bitcoin though bitcoin fans say hey the
modern monetary systems also use a lot
of energy so let's be real here
anyway we are 20 days away from the
expiration of covet relief the house
budget committee takes up
the coveted relief bill today the bill
is expected to get voted on in the house
of representatives either
friday or saturday and nancy pelosi can
only afford to lose
five votes if five democratic
representatives in the house end up
siding with republicans
the bill will still pass but if six vote
against the bill
the bill will fail in the house and it
won't even go over to the senate
now i'm not exactly sure why the bill
would get voted on on friday or
saturday nancy pelosi i'm pretty sure
indicated she wanted to see this bill
voted on by the 22nd or 23rd
but then again it's congress so we'll
probably be watching this vote on
saturday and then we'll see it go on
over to the senate which by the way
as soon as tomorrow we expect that the
senate parliamentarian
could rule whether or not the minimum
wage ill will be eligible
for increase as part of the budget
resolution bill that we're expecting or
the budget reconciliation bill
now according to punch bowl news senator
bernie sanders put out a statement
saturday saying that he is quote
confident
that the senate parliamentarian would
rule that raising the
minimum wage is permissible in a budget
reconciliation package
now we'll obviously we'll see so here's
kind of an
outline in terms of the time frame of
what we can expect to happen here
tuesday well maybe today we'll hear
something from the house budget
committee maybe maybe not
tomorrow maybe we'll hear from the
parliamentarians so maybe tomorrow
we'll know whether or not we're going to
see the minimum wage happen because if
the parliamentarian votes against
the minimum wage change being part of
the budget reconciliation bill
then it's very likely that joe manchin
is going to vote no on the bill
and chuck schumer will have to remove
the minimum wage ass
or provision to actually get the proper
democratic votes
however even if joe manchin goes for it
there's still kirsten cinema who might
vote against it because she is anti
the minimum wage provision though she
recently hasn't been super vocal about
that
uh she had a political interview about
three weeks ago i haven't
recently heard her renew her call saying
she will definitely vote against the
stimulus package so
we'll just have to wait and see what
comes tomorrow as usual there's a lot of
wait and see
but anyway uh make sure if you have not
yet take a look at this series of videos
that i have breaking down
not only the new terms of the 1400
stimulus track there's a video for that
check out the video breaking down the
child tax credit check out yesterday's
video breaking down a ton of
questions and answers that many of you

provisions of this bill
i do plan to release a few more videos

that you want me to take a look at make
sure to let me know but this is the
online for right now
a little more wait and see we got janet
yellen going don't worry about the
market collapsing
it's all fine there's no inflation
