Steven Mnuchin: “I absolutely understand why he got elected, and that is because, as you point out, the average American worker has gone…”

Let me be clear: That is a false choice. Americans should not have to, and did not have to, choose between quickly getting aid during a crisis and preventing the theft or waste of billions of tax dollars.

When we needed to get this done last March, it got done with overwhelming bipartisan support.

I don’t think we’re going to have a recession. I don’t think the outlook looks like we’re going to have a recession.

Something is clearly better than nothing.
