Is it safe to say that you think it's time for the federal government to wind down its efforts to stimulate the economy? No, not at all. I think it's a recognition that when we pass something, We passed four different phases of this $2.9 trillion. and just put that in perspective, that's literally about five months worth of 30% total replacement cost for our economy. It's a massive amount of money, which we all felt we needed to do. (02:30–02:34)
