Biden’s ‘rescue America’ plan is big. How its trillions could help both Wall Street and Main StreetAs Americans hunker down and wait to get vaccinated, the toll of the coronavirus pandemic keeps rising.
Its costs, both in lives and livelihood, prompted President-elect Joe Biden on Thursday to propose another $1.9 trillion “first step” spending package to help combat the carnage of the pandemic, even before he takes office next week.
But as Washington gears up to debate another big relief initiative, hand-wringing on Wall Street has already begun as investors worry the bull-market for stocks could be threatened by an economy that might overheat and cause borrowing costs to rise, while also potentially saddling the U.S. with unsustainable debts.
“It’s a tug of war,” said Bryce Doty, senior portfolio manager at Sit Investment Associates, in Minneapolis. “The current situation is horrible, but six months ahead, we hope a lot more people will be vaccinated.”
Equity markets have largely looked beyond this winter’s dire chapter of soaring COVID-19 infection rates and deaths, and the resumption of lockdowns across swaths of the U.S., Europe and China. The focus instead has been on the vaccine rollout and expectations for the incoming Biden administration to secure more funding from Congress to bridge the economy through the coronavirus crisis.
Biden pointed to a “crisis of deep human suffering” on Thursday that is “in plain sight,” while urging Congress, soon to be controlled by Democrats, to authorize $1 trillion to get another $1,400 in direct payments to households, as well as $440 billion to reeling small businesses and $20 billion to speed up what he called a “dismal failure” of the national vaccination program.

In Tokyo's lockdown, some drink on even after authorities call timeThe 30-year-old financial trader was one of many people out in the Shimbashi nightlife district during the first weekend of an expanded state of emergency, with the government pleading for residents to stay home to contain the coronavirus.
Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga declared a state of emergency for Tokyo and surrounding prefectures this month. He expanded it to 11 prefectures accounting for 55% of the population on Wednesday. Unlike in many other countries with mandatory lockdowns, Japanese authorities legally can only urge people to stay at home and businesses to close.
While compliance has been high - most of Shimbashi’s karaoke bars and izakaya taverns were closed on Friday night - more people appear to be ignoring the state of emergency this time than one last year.
“There are people who can’t have dinner until after 8 p.m., including me,” Hamazono said, citing his working hours. He and a friend were looking for a place to duck into among a jumble of izakayas on Shimbashi’s narrow streets.

The government is considering an amendment to give authorities more power to enforce a lockdown, the minister in charge of administrative and regulatory reform, Taro Kono, told Reuters on Thursday.
Until then, it seems likely that many will keep drinking.
“There are many times we need to talk business over drinks. That kind of communication is necessary to do business,” said 48-year-old Motoki Mori, the owner of an event production company who was headed to a bar with his business partner.
“I don’t think you can put a cut-off time on that.”

7 Dead in Military Helicopter Crash in Southern PhilippinesThe helicopter had been on a supply run to troops in a remote, mountainous region where a hunt for communist rebels was taking place, the military said.
MANILA — Seven Philippine soldiers, including an air force colonel, died when the helicopter they were flying in crashed in the southern Philippines during a hunt for communist rebels over the weekend.
The military said the helicopter, a refurbished UH-1H Vietnam-era craft commonly known as a Huey, was flying Saturday with another Huey on a supply run to a remote base in Pantaron, a mountainous region in Bukidnon Province, when it crashed.
“The other helicopter radioed and told them they were trailing smoke,” said Maj. Gen. Andres Centeno, the commanding general of the army’s Fourth Infantry Division. “It crashed into an open field.”
No survivors were found when rescuers reached the area, he said.
The soldiers’ names were not released pending notification of their families, but the highest ranking among them was an air force colonel, the military said. Of the other six, three were airmen and three served in the army.
The forward-operating base was set up as part of a campaign to finally eradicate the New People’s Army, the armed unit of the Communist Party of the Philippines. The insurgent group has been locked in a low-intensity conflict with the government in Manila since 1969. The rebels’ fighting force is currently estimated to be around 5,000 people, down from a high of 20,000 spread across the archipelago nation at the height of the insurgency in the early 1980s.
The government ordered intensified operations against the New People’s Army, or N.P.A., after the group announced this month that it was reviving its urban hit squads to target officials who it said had committed “crimes against the public.”
The N.P.A. said it was planning to form “partisan teams” to carry out targeted killings in cities, in reference to its Special Partisan Units, whose reign of terror gripped the nation in the 1980s during the corrupt regime of the dictator Ferdinand Marcos.
The hit squad’s most famous victim was Col. James Rowe, a U.S. military adviser and prisoner of war during the Vietnam conflict, who was killed in an ambush by an N.P.A. hit squad north of Manila in 1989.
Saturday’s crash came a day after Gen. Gilbert Gapay, chief of the Philippine Armed Forces, ordered commanders to intensify efforts at dismantling guerrilla movements and finally end the insurgency this year.
All remaining communist guerrilla fronts shall be simultaneously addressed and defeated toward the end of 2021,” General Gapay said on Friday, adding that continuous pressure on the ground had weakened rebel forces.
He said more than 50 guerrilla groups remained scattered across the country but were on the “brink of collapse.”
“We have significantly decimated these groups,” he said, adding that he hoped for complete eradication in the first months of 2021.
The crash on Saturday was not the first for a Huey used by the military. In November, a soldier died when a helicopter of the same make crashed while it was evacuating troops wounded in a battle with Islamic militants.
