Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin requested that the Federal Reserve return unused coronavirus stimulus funds.
In a letter to Fed Chairman Jay Powell on Thursday, Mnuchin said the central bank held some $455 billion from the COVID-relief package passed back in March. The Treasury Secretary asked Powell to return that money so Congress can spend it on additional relief measures.

“The liquidity and capital position of U.S. banks ensure that they can fulfill the financing requirements of their customers,” Mnuchin wrote in the letter. “In the most recent survey by the National Federation of Independent Business, only 2% of small and medium-size firms reported that all their borrowing needs were not satisfied.”
The Fed cut interest rates and expanded the balance sheet earlier this year to help the U.S. economy. Mnuchin added he will be able to help U.S. businesses without a new COVID-relief bill if the Fed returns its relief funds.

PELOSKI aka POLLOCK and BIDEN aka BLUNDER need to be put away in a MENTAL INSTITUTION for the DERANGED and DEPLORABLE LOW LIFE’S…
YEP, GIVE IT BACK NOW.
These people cannot see the disaster they are causing unless they really want us to beg them for food .
Begging for our existence is “Democratic Plan”!
Now that is suspicious. Money left from the past trillion dollar stimulous? And that explanation just tells me it was left in one of those government buckets that should have drawn it down doing what it was intended for cause I know businesses, small ones, that were turned down for stimulous funds and others like the guy who is now an elected senator, Markie Boy, whose bueinss interests got their share and some. As a retired CPA I wonder at this in government who overspends, not underspends. WHY would be worth persuing for the ones overseeing this agency.
