Media interview Reisman about federal coronavirus relief
The Mount Desert Islander and The Ellsworth American interviewed Jon Reisman, an associate professor of economics and public policy at the University of Maine at Machias, for an article about the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act approved by Congress and President Donald Trump. “This is a huge injection of liquidity into the economy that should keep things afloat for maybe two or three months,” Reisman said. “We’re talking about a short-term fix that’s going to serve as a flotation device.”
