Short answer requested...
My son, who will be a beneficiary of the Federal bump in unemployment benefits, wants to know: "Who pays for this??" (And by "this" he means the whole stimulus package, not just UE benefits)
Can someone give me a brief, non-snarky, response for me to pass on? My whole family is more right brained than left and not very knowledgeable about high finance and economics at the federal level. I'm the financial nerd in the family, but as they say, "In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king."
So, how do I educate my non-money-oriented, VERY right-brained singer-songwriter son who really wants to know?
